Hi, I created a while ago a new version of Taxonomy Term Reference Tree Widget that is able to deal with all kind of entities through a hook.

Please find my project here: http://drupal.org/sandbox/lahode/1325398
And an example of use here: http://drupal.org/node/1325086

Moreover, I also found another module here: http://drupal.org/project/entity_tree (I didn't test it)

Clearly, this shows the need to be able to extend the tree management to all Entities, so my idea is not to compete with your module, but to merge all the projects in one single module.

Thank you in advance for your thoughts or anyone thoughts

Cheers

Hey I checked out the links and they look really cool, and I want to not duplicate our efforts so if we can we should merge the projects. I have some questions, but lets start with this one:

The entity reference tree widget is a widget, and not something that arranges entities in a tree. How does the module help with arranging entities into a tree? So if I had a new entity type called doll and a bundle called Babushka. I understand that the module in your sandbox would show me a tree structure once the Babushka trees are set up, but how would I as an end user set up that a Babushka can contain many Babushkas, and how would I create the actual structure with entity instances?

I like this idea.

If you'd like to merge your code in (provided it doesn't break the existing widget) I'd be happy to add you as a co-maintainer.

Ok perfect!

Having a new baby (a real one), I'm a bit short on time right know, but as soon as I have some time, I will do the merge and be careful with your last updates.

I'm going to mark this postponed for now. Feel free to change it back when you're ready.

Note: Please do any merges on the 1.x branch.

Shouldn't the merge happen the other way around? Entity Reference Tree sounds like a more generic solution than a taxonomy tree that is only for taxonomies.

Meanwhile I also found this http://drupal.org/project/tree
