   i'm looking for a way to include my custom taxonomy name into my permalink system.

   i recently created a "cartoons" taxonomy, with all different cartoon names as part of the group: pokemon, smurfs, thundercats, etc. most of my posts have a "cartoon" that they are associated with. however, there are some that are not in a cartoon taxonomy.

   without knowing the proper nerd speak (i'm only an unproper nerd), i'd love the permalink logic to act something like this:

   if this post has a taxonmy, make the url:
   /%cartoons%/%postname%/

   else this post does NOT have a taxonomy, make the url:
   /%category%/%postname%/

   is that feasible...? and if so, what would i enter in SETTINGS > PERMALINK ?

   You'd be better off using a custom post-type for cartoons, as you can't force permalinks to show a tax in the URL just for one taxonomy.

   ahh, that's a bummer :(

   i had read in a few places online that you could hijack the permalinks to display a taxonomy (like here: http://shibashake.com/wordpress-theme/add-custom-taxonomy-tags-to-your-wordpress-permalinks) but then didn't know how that would address my "sometimes is, sometimes isn't" issue.

   however, if i only have the one cartoons taxonomy, maybe its a lost cause all around!
