Hi,
I hope this module is all I have been waiting for!
It is very difficult to port content/taxonomy from D6 to D7 with everything ordered as needed.
Would love to have a -plug-and-play- taxonomy merge module with parent/child relationships.
I see this is (not yet) in, so thats why I made this issue.

Thanks for the hard work, and looking forward to a great solution for this!
Greetings, Martijn

Hey Martjin,

I hope to get the parent/child relationship working, however this module is going to take some work to get to that point.

Have you looked in to Term Merge and Taxonomy Manager? While this module does fit somewhat of a niche that those don't, they might be able to help you earlier!

I'll update this when I am able to begin working on this.

I've added support for parent/child relationships. If you decide to use this module, be aware that I'm still considering this very much so in dev stages. While it has worked for me on a live system as well as a clean drupal installation I'm not positive it wouldn't break for a specific instance! I plan to do a bit more work and, soon, should have an official 'dev' release.

Hi, Thanks for adding parent/child relationship!
I would love to use it for term-conversion from D6 to D7? Would this be possible with the module in current state?
Would then also Term references be updated?

Martijn (I realized I spelled our name incorrectly, sorry!),

I should note the parent/child relationships are not 100% complete (although, I'll probably have that complete in the next day or two).

It updates all fields that reference the taxonomy terms.

I have not dealt with D6->D7 conversion of taxonomy. This module has some limitations on usability - I have documented a bit better now how it works and what it does (http://drupal.org/node/1984400). Feel free to request more features if there isn't anything yet covered, functionality wise.

I've added a priority list to the project page which will show what I plan to accomplish soon.

Hi Travis,

Thanks for spelling my name right. I read the documentation. The documentation is about Importing.
How about Exporting please? If the terms are (with hierarchy) exported by D6 in same grammar as imported in D7 it must do something right?

Martijn,

So you are asking for a function which allows you to export a list of the current taxonomy with the hierarchy? Or was it something else?

Hi, Yes importing D7 and exporting D6 a list of current taxonomy including term-name, description, hierarchy. As such that the whole vocabulary is migrated.
Thanks a lot in advance for considering this!

Martijn,

That is a bit outside of the concept of the module as it is currently and will take a bunch of steps to get to. At the moment I'm only planning on developing this for D7. At the moment there are a few issues I need to resolve before an import like that would work 100% - but I plan on making that happen since that should work.

The export isn't a bad idea for usability as well, but that isn't terribly important to the module's intended functionality so it isn't priority at all.

So:
1 - Drupal 6 integration probably won't happen.
2 - I still have some steps necessary for Drupal 7 import (parent taxonomy terms should be able to be created on the fly).
3 - The export of taxonomy terms in the expected format could very well be implemented as it would make it easier for the merge process. This isn't higher on the priority list of things to be accomplished right now.

Hi Travis,
Thanks for updating me. Looking to solutions for this and if not found waiting for your progress.
