I just wanted to point out that the description for the TAC Lite Create module is a bit confusing, it goes like this:

Hide taxonomy terms on node add/edit forms.

But but default if you only enable TAC Lite and not TAC LiteCreate the terms are hidden on the add/edit forms. This was a bit confusing to me. So instead I propose that it says something like this:

Show or hide taxonomy terms on node add/edit forms.

Enabling tac_lite create adds a new checkbox in the tac_lite settings of schemes.

" [] Visibility on create and edit forms
Show terms when creating content. This does not control which users can create a given content type. This does control which terms appear on the node edit forms.
Note that schemes granting update permission (above) imply visibility on forms as well."

Does the last line, "Note that schemes granting update permission (above) imply visibility on forms as well." mean it is the same as Update permission. In that case why would we need this module? Cant we just create and use a scheme with update permission.

Please let us know if we missed anything.

Thank you.

The update permission will give a user the ability to edit a node. But it is not the only way a user has that permission. They might be able to edit via normal drupal permissions, or some other node_access module.

The visibility checkbox controls whether the term is visible to users who can edit the node.

This is intended to solve a problem a user does not have permission to see a term, but does have permission to edit the node. The problem is they save their changes and remove the term in the process, because the term did not appear on their form.

If you have a suggestion for a better way to explain this, let me know.
