Hi,
I'm trying to create a bookstore site and I'm facing some doubts about taxonomy, First of all I've been thinking about using a Taxonomy called "Author" and then place each and every book from an author under each author term and a Node type also called "author"
The problem I'm facing is that using this configuration I'll be force to give users the ability to create node terms directly from the taxonomy module in order to allow them to create a new author.
What I was thinking is if there is any module that will allow me to create a taxonomy term for "author" directly from the "new author" page. To keep it simple what I want is that if a user wants to create a new Author at the site and then add a new book from the author a taxonomy term from this author be created automatically when the user submits the author node.
Sorry about my english.
Thanks in advance.

You could try allowing free
You could try allowing free tagging for the vocab. That would give the user a free text field to enter a author without needing access to the term admin.
Alternatively investigate the rules module. A bit trickier to set up but that would let you copy from a cck field and create a author term on node save.
Thanks Mbug will try that!

It's not clear why you would
It's not clear why you would need the taxonomy since a book could use a node reference field to the author type.
Hi and thanks your your
Hi and thanks your your response. Do you know if it will allow me to list the nodes that uses the reference in a view?
Thanks again.

You can add an argument on
You can add an argument on the node reference field in books for authors. If the view is for pages showing a author node you can set the default argument to be a node id from the url.
