Stopped working mysteriously - help!

I'm not sure what to suggest other than a clean install of Drupal somewhere and then install TSS and try it.
I have installed it in several clean situations lately with no problems.

Let me know if you can replicate the problem on a clean install with a similar category.

Gord.

I'm having the same problem.. I'm not about to wipe over a year of site history and content just to get this module working. It's either a bug in the module or a bug in the Drupal upgrade, but I'm not about to go that far. If this only runs properly on a clean install, it may not be very useful.

I am only suggesting that you try and replicate the issue on a
fresh install. The problem may be related to another module that
you have installed.

If you have no problem with a clean install,
start installing and configuring the test version as your live
version currently sits.

With each module check again to see if all is well.

I simply cannot take issues that can't be replicated and figure out
why they are happening. So many things can change how drupal
works I would be forever testing.

That's very strange because it works just fine for me.

not working with or without free tagging.

same issues..i see no controls for TSS and no change in my structures..pls help.
thanks

one thing i forgot to mention was that as soon as i enabled this module..it worked well without freetagging...

but then after i enabled the comment mover..it seems have screwed up...
then i disabled comment mover..and tried again...but still no luck...

hope this info may be of use to someone.

TSS has weight = 0 in the system table, and depending on what modules are enabled, its form_alter hook may not fire at the right time. (e.g., $form['taxonomy'] isn't defined yet). It might be worth adding a sanity check to ensure that $form['taxonomy'] exists before attempting to manipulate it, because if it does not exist yet the alterations will get obliterated by some subsequent form_alter.

I don't know the proper Drupal-way to handle form_alter invocation weight but in the meantime those who cannot get TSS to appear in the node edit form can fix it with this query:

update system set weight = 99 where name = 'taxonomy_super_select';

(if that *still* does not work, an even higher number than 99 may do the trick).

same issue.

Have been using this great module for 2 weeks. Today, it suddenly reverted to the old taxonomy select scroll list. Why is that? I fiddled with the settings, created a new vocab to test, etc. - nothing.

I did test a few modules today, including module_weight module and fixed data dropdown, but I've uninstalled both of them. Any reason that would affect what was until now a very good TSS module?

Oddly, if I select "free tagging" it works again. But I don't want to use free tagging.

ANy help appreciated, thanks

Mystery partially solved. I'm posting this in hopes it will help someone else.

I think the problem here was the module_weight module changed the taxonomy form_alter hook as noted above. I re-enabled the module_weight module and set taxonomy weight to 0. It fixed the error with the Super Select, so it now works.

Not sure this qualifies as a bug, but it would be nice to be able to use both modules....

nonetheless, I'm glad to have this working again, it's a great module!

Confirmed

This must be a bug in this-, or another module interfering with TSS.

Freetagging is a workaround for now, it shows radiobuttons strange enough.

The above is true... use PuTTY and connect to the database:

use drupal;

show tables;

select * from system where name = 'taxonomy_super_select';

update system set weight = 99 where name = 'taxonomy_super_select';

to confirm the weight changed:

select * from system where name = 'taxonomy_super_select';

that should do it... 99 worked on 2 different projects, all the other modules are at weight 0.

Thanks

You can also use PhpMyAdmin and change the weight in the "system" table.

Try creating a taxonomy_super_select.install file:

<?php
// $Id: $

/**
 * @file
 *   Changes the default taxonomy select box into checkbox or radio buttons.
 */

/**
 * Implementation of hook_install().
 */
function taxonomy_super_select_install() {
  // This module must run after the main taxonomy module, 
  // as it alters that form in turn.
  $taxonomy_weight = db_result(db_query("SELECT weight FROM {system} WHERE name='taxonomy'"));
  db_query("UPDATE {system} SET weight=%d WHERE name='taxonomy_super_select'", 1 + $taxonomy_weight );
}

This is now in 5.x-1.10.
