Taxonomy Super Select
Now you can display taxonomy vocabularies (categories) as radios or checkboxes.
This module seamlessly overrides the select box generated by the taxonomy module and renders the terms as check boes or radio buttons based on whether or not you are allowing multiple selections.
Features
- Multiple selection vocabularies show as check boxes.
- Single selection terms display as radio boxes.
- Parent terms display as nested field sets.
- Option to display parented terms as form items.
- Ability to control which content types TSS will apply to.
- Currently hard coded to display up to five levels of nesting.
- Works with all hierarchy configurations.
- Free tagging vocabularies are now supported.

Installation
Normal module installation applies.
Configuration
Configuration is very simple:
- Go to
Administer >> Content >> Categories. - Choose the "edit" link for the category for which you wish to enable the module.
- There will be a form fieldset near the top; you may need to expand it.
- Check the box for the content type you wish to use Taxonomy Super Select.
- Decide whether you wish to "Display parent terms as form items." Leaving this option disabled forces users to select dangling child terms. It can be useful for grouping terms with descriptive parent terms that are not themselves needed for the display.
- Make what other choices you would normally make.
- "Submit" the form.
That's it! Now when you create or edit content of the chosen type, the standard term drop down box will be replaced with check boxes (if the category allows multiple select) or radio buttons (if the vocabulary is single select).
