Description
Drupal V5
There is a new module called dependatDropdown, which offers a two level Dropdown Select List fuction.
This is nice, but it jumps right over the power of Taxonomy.
It would very useful to have this offer choices from a determined Vocab. at level one which would pull from another Vocab, based on the choice the user has selected.
a simple example would be
a State (vocab=USA Term=State Name) selection, would trigger the correct City/County Select List to appear for use.
Thank you for considering
#1
I guess this is a request for the said module ?
#2
yes, sorry - did I mark it incorrectly?
#3
You can create fields depending on the taxonomy terms. At least this works for nodes with only one vocabulary assigned to. The filter for the dependant field I tried is "taxonomy", it works.
#4
oops, didnt mean to change your title, switch back..
#5
And i take it back, what i said before. It seems it only works with the first vocabulary. I already thought it won't be that easy...
#6
I'd also be interested in providing functionality for this module to reflect back taxonomy terms in a hierarchical fashion... can this be provided?
Thank you.
#7
This would be a fantastic feature, as I am looking for this functionality (my own feature search has made me bias-- objectivity is an illusion, afterall). Should this be something for CCK only, or a core feature for taxonomy itself? The question is worth answering, isn't it?

Taxonomy dependent dropdown is possible with this module

oh that is cool, the way they slide in and out - nice very nice. I never seen that done before - anywhere
have this been tested on large lists?
The reason I ask is that - with Super Select and using a State, City setup, I have been timing out and been unable to use those modules
#10
I forgot to ask......
you are using vocab/terms .... yes?
