Taxonomy
subigor - September 21, 2008 - 09:23
I created a new form as a new content and to submit this form you have to select the Taxonomy term from a list. The problem is that I have a long list of vocabularies and when you fill up the form it comes out a big list like this:
A
A1
A2
A2.1
A2.2
B
B1
B2
...
I find this confusing for the end user.
What I would like to do is that when you have the Taxonomy dropdown list it only has A,B,C,D... and if you select A then you have another dropdown list whit A1,A2,... and if you select A2 then you have another dropdown list with A2.1, A2.2,... and so on.
How can I do this? I couldn't find it out. Do I need another module?
Thanks
I think this module is
I think this module is exactly what you want
its just great!!

Hi Dereine, thanks for your
Hi Dereine,
thanks for your reply, but this module doesn't work for Drupal 6.x ...
:-(
Any idea if there's any equivalent module for Drupal 6.x?

No there's not, but I've been informed that HS will be ported to D6 before the end of the year.
I am also waiting patiently for it to be released; the current hierarchy system is total pants for
anything more than 2 or 3 vocabs with a handful of terms.
Be aware that HS does not function correctly on Opera.
Since Opera doesn't work with IMCE either, my own website will now not support opera users.
I need these two modules more than my seven year loyalty to Opera.
I think what you need to do
I think what you need to do is make A1 and A2 children terms of A.
Then make A2.1 and A2.2 children terms of A2.
This is done in taxonomy, but there is an outstanding module called taxonomy manager that can make the process a lot easier.

Hi bwv, I tried to do what
Hi bwv,
I tried to do what you said, but after adding a mass list with Taxonomy Manager I had some time out fatal errors. So I changed my phh.ini file like this:
-------------
max_execution_time = 120 ; Maximum execution time of each script, in
seconds
max_input_time = 60 ; Maximum amount of time each script may spend
parsing request data
memory_limit = 64MB ; Maximum amount of memory a script may consume
(16MB)
--------------
After this change I had no Fatal Error again but a lot of things disapeared. Like modules, taxonomy and a lot more.
Now if I whan to go to Site Building I have a msg like this:
Site building
You do not have any administrative items.
and before it was full of options. :-o
What was wrong? I remember some time ago I had exactly the same problem (trying to figure out how does the Taxonomy Manager works) and I had to reinstall Drupal and start all over again... :-(
Lucky
I'm really lucky. I just remembered I did a backup with the backup/restore module. I just had to restore it manually with PHPmyadmin.
I think there's a problem with the Taxonomy Manager module as is not the first time it does like this.
Does anyone knows how to fix this?
subigor, I am truly sorry to
subigor, I am truly sorry to hear you are having these difficulties. Are you running your drupal site on a UNIX server?
Perhaps I should have explained more: taxonomy manager will allow you to move taxonomy terms --that you already have created -- around easily. There is no way to make children terms using a mass listing. You can only make top level terms this way. To make terms children of other terms, you need to use the "move" function in taxonomy manager.
I cannot explain why everything has disappeared. Can you direct us to a URL?
If you do have to start over, I would use the 6.x taxonomy module, and this time create children of terms. Then you will not need to use taxonomy manager.

Hi bwv, first of all thanks
Hi bwv,
first of all thanks a lot for your help. ;-)
My site is in a localhost / test in a WinXP machine with xampp.
Anyway I tried to make (with taxonomy) A1 as child of A, A1.1 as child of A1 but I still got just one dropdown list as before. I could try to do something like a taxonomy vocabulary like this:
Letters (vocabulary) with A,B,C,... (terms)
sub-LettersA (vocabulary) with A1,A2,A3,... (terms)
sub-LettersA1(vocabulary) with A1.1, A1.2,A1.3,... (terms)
and so on
the problem is: how do I tell Drupal that A is linked to sub-LettersA and that A1 is linked to sub-LettersA1?
I'm shure there's a way to do it.
Now I want to try with Node Hierarchy but I have to figure out how does it work... and I don't think this is what I'm looking for.
PS:
to everybody: remember to make backups often!!! this saved me a lot of work!!! ;-)
If all this is embedded in a
If all this is embedded in a form, I am pretty sure you are stuck with a drop down select list (I say "pretty sure" because, as I am finding out, there is always another ingenious module out there that adds a new layer of capability or enhances the user interface). If these were menu items, then you could use a module like nice menus, or a suckerfish menu (like in some of the roople themes) for a javascript drop-down effect.

Hi bwm,
I decided to install Drupal 5 as well in localhost. I think that I will use it to create the website as I have more options and most important I have the modules that I'm looking for.
Thanks for your time and help.
