This one ir really holding my development up. I've decided to create my own news module, loosely modelled after the announcements module but with some characteristics that give it a very distinct functionality.  News Items consist of a summary and a content, have inage source and thumbnailsource, and are linked to a portal instead of to a module.

What is displayed inside a module depends on the taxonomy settings for that module and a few more module settings (like show items 22 to 41 of the selection), PublishDate and Expiredate. I like the idea of the section templates in the announcements module.

One more view to show the news article in detail inside a tab template (another module setting with the name of the template in the templates folder).

But I need to make that taxonomy working on the production site (or at least a copy of it). On a clean install, all works like in the video, even with another language as default language and DSL installed.

On the other hand, creating a new portal with only en-US active on a copy of my production database and after creating a dictionary, all I see in the Tags dropdown is --- Tags. The new dictionary is not there

I checked the taxonomy tables in the database, and all is there. I go back to taxonomy administration and I can edit. It is portal-wide and hierarchical and isSystem is False. I wonder what weight is intended for, but it is valued on 0 for all terms. I've tried changing it to 1 at no effect.

What else can I do? Install the source code over the website and find a good place to drop a breakpoint? I'm losing all my time on this while I should be producing the NewsDesk module. I've got the dataprovider and the uninstall and would like to code the business section now. I've done it before, I can do it again, and the idea behind this is quite simple actually.
