I am trying (and failing) to configure HS to do the following.

1. allow users to define their region through hs levels ie: Europe -> France -> Paris
-> UK ->London

2. create a view allowing users to search user nodes by region, where if a user defined his region as Paris his node(s) would be returned under views filtered by Europe, France and Paris - but NOT returned under UK, London, etc.

I'm using content_taxonomy fields and setting and save lineage settings in the hs widget.
So far I am only able to get results by specific region, ie a user in Paris will not show up in Europe or France.

Should this be possible with the hs module?

The formatting was messed up on my previous post - UK was supposed to be appear beneath France to indicate a separate selection path.

You sure could... but then you would have to have Europe -> US - > France -> Paris -> London all as taxonomy terms...

I would probably just have them use the location module... they would have to type it in.... but then you can have it geolocated and make a fancy map (w/ views 2 and gmail modules, I've only done this in D6 though.)

Thanks, the location module looks promising.

I've worked out what I need to do to get HS module working the way I want; basically I need 'Save term lineage' checked in the content_taxonomy field hs widget section, but when I check this option it stops working. Only 'Save only the deepest term' option works - but then of course I lose the terms.

I've had a look at the location module - but unfortunately it's not going to provide what I need. I want submitted nodes to be categorized by location using the hierarchical method I described above - so i guess it has to be hs module. On the demo module page the last example shows it can be done: http://wimleers.com/demo/hierarchical-select/taxonomy

I've spent days (and a night) trying to get the 'Save term lineage' setting to function but with no luck.

In fact i am at the point where I would like to pay someone to set this up for me.
If any one can help please let me know.

The real issue here seems to be that the HS widget does not work with Content taxonomy fields, when 'Save term lineage' is selected. I don't know if this is a bug with HS or with Content taxonomy, or an incompatibility issue between the two.

If anyone is interested in providing some paid support I've posted a request here: http://drupal.org/node/363560

Version: 5.x-2.0-rc3 » 5.x-3.0-rc7

If somebody takes up this offer of paid support I will release any patch necessary to make these modules work together back to the community.
