From the very sparse description this module offers, I assume that the ActiveSelect taxonomy selection allows you to choose one term in the vocabulary first, and then makes its child terms available in the second menu. (Perhaps this is wishful thinking since it's exactly what I want, but I can't think of anything else that makes sense).

However, the second select menu remains empty. I can choose the parent term in the first menu (and only the root-level terms are available, as expected), and a little rotating circle indicates a jQuery being processed. But nothing actually appears in the other field. My vocabulary does have a multi-level hierarchy, and there are child terms below the term I selected. What am I doing wrong?

isnt active select part of Jstools ?

answers my own question: no it's not.

active select is its own module and i believe your support request should be filed against that module rather then content taxonomy.

i also notice this in the readme.txt file of activeselect.module

- This module is of no use by itself. You only need to install this module if another module (e.g. the category module) instructs you to do so.

Title: Activeselect appears broken » Content Taxonomy activeselect widget appears broken

Er, I'm not talking about the utility module activeselect (which is fine by the way; other places on my site are using it). I'm talking about the way content taxonomy uses this utility in its activeselect widget. The activeselect menu itself is displaying fine, but it's not getting any data from content taxonomy.

So this definitely belongs here. I've updated the title to avoid misunderstandings.

I'm having the same problem. The Taxonomy Active Select widget appears, but it retrieves none of the child node names the should appear in the sub fields.

Have you managed to work it out?

Nope, still waiting for a response to this issue (and hopefully a patch).

The same issue seems to be discussed here as well: http://drupal.org/node/128965
This patch worked for me :)

For me this patch also worked fine. But the values are not stored. But I think, that is an other issue: http://drupal.org/node/141225

Status: Active » Closed (fixed)

Eh, I've gotten this to work since, so issue closed. Not sure what was wrong.

However, I haven't had much joy with this widget in the past year, and for the 6.x port of my sites I have switched to a self-coded widget (still using the content_taxonomy field, though) instead of porting the existing module. I had to change several concepts to fit the needs of my server; for example by placing the full taxonomy tree into the form instead of loading parts of it with Ajax (which would be too slow). But that's beside this issue.
