There is also a required patch/fix/latest version required for the underlying activeselect

Hi WRXIzumi,

thanks for this patch. I just thought I'm going to get crazy to find this. Now that I want to submit a patch, I found your patch ... ARRRRGGGHH.

I would rather have used the function form_clean_id($field['field_name']) instead of str_replace('_', '-'...) (because form_clean_id changes the id-attribute of the target and if that changes - hopefully not - content_taxonomy should generate the targets in the same way).

But nevertheless. The next time I have to search better for already made patches :-)

Best regards
Stefan

The patch fails at 126 for me

Hi
I have applied the patch manually (sorry, haven't yet gotten patch run on windows).

But as I've found out now: it doesn't work correctly with IE. On Firefox everything is fine. But in IE I got the following behaviour. I added a ActiveSelect-"Taxonomy Field" to a content type with 3 levels (and a depth of 3).
The first level (select-box) is filled, the second one has only the width of the scrollbar. Changing the first select-box doesn't fill the second select-box, though the Ajax-Request was made.
Any hints why this is different in IE?
Maybe it's due to the "@"?

Best regards
Stefan

Hi,

I have applied this patch but, with or without it, I just cannot get activeselect to work. I am sure that it is something I am doing (or not doing) as I can see that other people seem to be achieving varying degrees of success with this, so I would appreciate any help or pointers in the right direction.

First of all, I am running:
Drupal 5.1
activeselect.module -> v1.9
content.module (cck) -> v1.90.2.39
content_taxonomy_activeselect.module -> v1.1 (with this patch applied)
content_taxonomy.module -> v1.2.2.5 (with this patch applied)

I have a vocabulary set up as follows:

Vocabulary name: Location
Terms:
Albania
-- Berat
-- Dibër
-- Durrës
...
United Kingdom
-- Ayrshire
-- Bedfordshire
...

The vocabulary itself is set to Multiple hierarchy, Multiple select, Required.

The CCK field that I'm creating is a Taxonomy Field | ActiveSelect. In the options, I am choosing:

Label: Location
Label for second bar: Region
Default value: I'm leaving this blank
Data settings: Save as tag
Specify terms to show:
Vocabulary: Location
Terms: --
Depth of taxonomy tree: I'm leaving this blank

When I go to create a new content type (that contains this field), I see the following:

A dropdown field labelled: Location: which has the first term in it (Albania) and the revolving blue activeselect widget. I can choose anything I want in this dropdown field but nothing else happens.

I also see another dropdown field labelled: Region:. The box itself has a greyed out activeselect widget but the field has no terms populating it.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Regards

Patrick

Thanks for applying a version of the patch. Or at least rolling back to a version that had the same effect. I can confirm that the Apr 9, 2007 development version of this module now works great with content_taxonomy under Firefox and IE 6. (I did not test with IE 7 but expect the same result.)

Woot...on with the show.

There was also a bug in activeselect. As Shane pointed out above, the thread is here: http://drupal.org/node/129027

I should have mentioned this and completely forgot. The current (As of April 9, 2007) development version works and does not require the patch from the thread above.

As well please ignore the previous comment. It was supposed to be for the activeselect module, not this one.

I applied the patch and got a reject in line 126. See attached file.

Nonetheless the select-boxes work fine.
But the result is not stored, neither in cck-tables nor in the node. Is this the same issue as http://drupal.org/node/121242 and http://drupal.org/node/141225 ?

The patch updates two "sub" modules contained within the main content_taxonomy module folder:
1) content_taxonomy_activeselect.module
2) content_taxonomy.module

Like Smitty, I got a rejection when I attempted to apply the patch. I then modified the patch by removing lines 170 to 201 so that it would only patch the content_taxonomy_activeselect.module. This resolved the problems described here as far as active selection goes.

You'll see in the description that this patch does not resolve the problem about not being able to write to both the node and the CCK table. Luckily, this has been discussed in the issue "Taxonomy association - broken". You'll find a patch there for the content_taxonomy.module that seems to do the trick.

There is one last bit that is giving me major headaches. Even though the modified patch here and the patch at the other issue node solve the "writing" problem, the values from CCK fields I assigned the activeselect widget to don't show up in my view (page) next to the CCK field title, even though the values are written to the CCK table. I would be *grateful* if someone can figure that one out.

I finally was able to fix the problems in the content_taxonomy_activeselect.
At the moment it only supports the saving as tag in the term_node table.

Thanks for the patch and your help.
Try out the latest version from today...
If problems still exists, reopen the issue :)

I added to this duplicate before seeing that this is seems more active. reopening.
http://drupal.org/node/122042

Cleanup of old issues. According to maintainer: "active development is only done for the 6.x branch! 5.x is not supported any more".
Open a new issue if this still exist.
