Description
It seems that we cannot see multi selectable filtering dropdown list at Filters section in "/admin/build/views/views_name/"
despite we can select multiple taxonomy terms from one vocab when creating/editing a node.
Forgive me if I'm saying the wrong thing as I'm not so familier with Views module for now.
#1
Correction. I meant
In "/admin/build/views/views_name/edit"
#2
I think I know what you're talking about because I found this bug today, too. Will try to improve the views code for the next release.
#3
Yup. This was a bug and I've nailed it for 1.1
#4
Hmm....
I cannot confirm the fix but I might be doing something wrong.
Please give me sometime.

Make sure to clear your views cache. On fresh installation I'm able to filter on multiple select vocabs.
#6
I deleted my view, fresh installed CCK Taxonomy 1.1, cleared my view's cash and remade my view.
But still, there appears a single term (Value) selection Operator in "/admin/build/views/project/edit".
Please see attached image and give me any suggestion when you have time.

Aaaah, that's what you mean! Pictures are very handy communication devices. That's by design. Perhaps there is different views filter handler that I should use, so I'm open to suggestions concerning that. But the software is doing what it is programmed to do, so I'm going to change this to a feature request for a different filter handler.

OK, I got it.
What is important is not in filtering section itself, but in "Exposing the filter".
You'll get what I want to say by seeing the attached image.
Yeah, pictures are much better communication device than my poor English! :)

The exposed filter doesn't work, you can't filter by taxonomy even if it works with some case, it doesn't filter correctly your result, its a great module and good idea, i change all my cck content to cck taxonomy and finally i discover this bug, so no filter exposed until it get corrected :p
Thanks for your great work

Basically to paraphrase, the last update fixed the list display issue in exposed views filters, where the taxonomy tree was being flattened to one level.
dogs
- poodle
- lab
was displayed as
dogs
poodle
lab
but it did not fix the multi-select issue for exposed filters.
If the taxonomy field has multi-select enables and the derived cck field has multi-select enabled, then the exposed filter should allow multiple selections. Currently the multi-select checkbox is selected automatically and greyed-out in views/exposed filters which is the correct behavior since the cck field has multi-select enabled, but the form does not allow multiple selections.
Seems like this would be a simple patch!
#12
Ok, here is a patch that fixes multi-select in exposed filters.
#13
The patch above is for version 5.x-1.1 , I should probably include the version in my patch names!
#14
Thanks. Will evaluate shortly. Putting the version in your patch names isn't necessary because the issue already has a version selector. I just assume since this issue is against 1.1 that the patch will be too.
#15
I'm reporting that I tried regx's patch and it works quite fine.
Thanks regx.
Please apply it and commit an updated version.
