There still isn’t a function for this, and the conditions in taxonomy_term_load_multiple have been deprecated, so an EntityFieldQuery is the only (and recommended) way to do this:
$query = new EntityFieldQuery(); $result = $query ->entityCondition('entity_type', 'taxonomy_term') ->propertyCondition('vid', 2, '=') // for vocabulary id 2 ->execute();
Not too bad, I guess, but it just feels like something that should be doable with a single function call. Maybe I’ll add a wrapper function to a utility module or something:
function taxonomy_term_get_by_vid($vid) { $query = new EntityFieldQuery(); $result = $query ->entityCondition('entity_type', 'taxonomy_term') ->propertyCondition('vid', (int) $vid, '=') ->execute(); return $result['taxonomy_term']; }
$terms = taxonomy_term_load_multiple(array(), array(‘vid’ => $vid));
Yes, that’ll work (for now), but like I mentioned, the conditions parameter is deprecated and will be removed in Drupal 8.
Thanks! I was just doing the same and thought “this should be easier”; your post helped me realise, yes, it should, but it isn’t, so live with it!
