Hi,
I have enable the taxonomy module in the core. But I cannot see the hierarchy setting.
On the online tutorial "http://tips.webdesign10.com/drupal-taxonomy-tutorial", I saw "Hierarchy: disabled, single, multiple". But on my installation, they are simply not there.
In my site, the setting of the page /admin/content/taxonomy/add/vocabulary is (no hierarchy setting visible)
--Settings----------------------------------------------------------------------------
'check box' Tags
Terms are created by users when submitting posts by typing a comma separated list.
'check box' Multiple select
Allows posts to have more than one term from this vocabulary (always true for tags).
'check box' Required
At least one term in this vocabulary must be selected when submitting a post.
Weight:
Vocabularies are displayed in ascending order by weight.

What's going on?

Hierarchie is now the default
You don't have to set an Category to be hierarchieable. It is now the default. So, add the category and the add an keyword to it, under the first textboxen, there comes the possibility of setting the hierarchie.
Seems to be a bug
Seems to be a bug. Drupal documentation (http://drupal.org/node/299) says the option should be there.
The documentation seems to
The documentation seems to be outdated in that issue. I just read the book "Pro Drupal Developement" and saw that the option is not there either.
Bug or feature?
I just hit this problem, too. I can set parent/child relationships within each taxonomy term within each vocab, but I can not view the resulting relationships hierarchically at:
admin/content/taxonomy/[tid] (where tid = term id)
I'm going to "trust" for now that drupal will do the right thing but seeing (and allowing drag-n-drop reordering) would be most helpful.
Solved it
The hierarchy goes between terms inside a vocabulary, not between vocabularies
the only answer
In Drupal 6 the Hierarchy is default to on. If you don't use it then you don't use it.
To add a Parent to a term, when adding that term there is a fieldset that is collapsed called "advanced Options" that you can open and select a parent.
hope this helps the next person who stumbles upon this thread. Just FYI the docs may explain how things were done in Drupal 5.
Problems
I'm having some issues with this however. When I display my taxonomy with views, it just shows both the parent and child as if there not related at all.
ex:
parent (3)
article 1
article 2
article 3
child(3)
article 1
article 2
article 3
When I'm looking for:
parent (1)
child(3)
article 1
article 2
article 3
What am I doing wrong?
How do I expand the Advanced ***solved***
How do I expand the Advanced Options? When I add a term, there are boxes for TERM NAME and DESCRIPTION only. The words 'Advanced options' are in normal (non-bold) font with a thin blue line (not a box) and nothing is clickable. What do I do if I want to define PARENT, SYNONYMS or WEIGHT?
If I List Terms for any of the vocabularies I have created, I am told 'xxx is a flat vocabulary' - presumably because I have not created any hierarchical relationship between terms, rather than because of how I defined the vocabulary. I am using Drupal 6.13.
SOLVED. Don't know how. The problem had gone away next time I logged in. But I still get told I have a flat vocabulary, although 'list vocabulary' displays it indented in 3 tiers and the low-level terms do have parents specified.
Re: 'Cannot see and set a taxonomy's hierarchy!'
I had the same problem. Logging in and out did not solve it for me.
Edit: posted a solution that worked for me in the issues cue as bug. Please see: Taxonomy terms loses hierarchy in admin backend list screen when 'Tags' is set in settings
