I have this module installed and it's great but for one catch I'm experiencing -- if I create a Vocab without hierarchy and allow free-tagging of terms, it gives me a parent item option on my content form. But I disabled hierarchy, so there should be no parent items.

I can't make it disappear. I'd love to see the checkboxes and the freetagging field, with no parent dropdown.
Is this a bug or an error on my part?

thanks

not a bug. just an oversight on my part. i guess i didn't think anyone would use this module if they didn't have a hierarchy. are you telling me that your site will just have one (potentially) long, long list of terms that have been freetagged? hmmm.

i'm changing this to a feature request as it doesn't seem to make too much sense to me to do it your way, but it will probably be an easy thing to code. so i'll change it the next time i get to this module. hopefully, that will be soon.

You're right, it doesn't make much sense. It was my work-around for the fixed State/multiple city select with free tagging dilemma (for which I requested the branch patch).

I thought if I made two taxonomies -- one fixed state checklist, one city checklist with freetag -- and grouped them, it would work, although they wouldn't be connect to each other.

The problem with doing the usual Taxonomy:

State
- city
- city
- city
... is that I don't want freetagging of states.

So yup, this Might not be worth it at all.
thanks.

The taxonomy super select module allows disabled hierarchy, BUT it doesn't allow you to create a CCK field, so it must appear in taxonomy section and not in a group - as far as I can tell. SSU is more flexible because I can use the taxonomy to create a cck field, set its weight, and group it.

Again, my ideal would be the restrict branching patch in the post before this -- but failing that, is there any way to use SSU to do this (no parent selection dropdown)?

I'm closing this because I'm working on your other feature request right now! Look for a release soon.
