Activate HS on taxonomy selecting (widget), but NOT on the main taxonomy term/vocabulary handling - HOW?

did you ever find a way around this? I'm having the same problem

to answer my own question, this seemed to resolve it:

variable_set('taxonomy_override_selector', FALSE);

Dear fellow Drupal enthusiasts,

this issue is now lasting for a very long time in the issue queue and was unfortunately never solved. As Drupal is a open source project everyone is helping on voluntary basis. So that this is was not solved is nothing personal and means no harm. But perhaps no one had time to deal with this issue, maybe it is too complex or did not describe the problem comprehensibly.

But this issue is not the only one. There are thousands of issues on Drupal.org that have never been worked on or could not be processed. This means that we are building a wave that is unmanageable and just a problem for the Drupal project as a whole. Please help us keep the issue queue smaller and more manageable.

Please read again, "Making an issue report" and see if you can improve the issue. Test the problem with the current Core and modules. Maybe the problem doesn't exist anymore, is a duplicate or has even been solved within this issue but never closed.

Help can also be found for it on IRC and in the user groups.

In order to remove this issue, I have set this issue to "fixed"

If there is new information, please re-open the issue.

I too have run into this issue, although it is easy to simply unset the variable taxonomy_override_selector in my site, it does not help anyone else who really does not want the selection of parent terms on taxonomy/term/%tid/edit pages.

Attached patch adds a form field into the main HS config form allowing you to set the variable taxonomy_override_selector to false. The patch also updates the check for a value of taxonomy_override_selector as the check was returning true even if taxonomy_override_selector was set to 0.

Committed, thanks :)
