Hi,

When trying to use this module under Drupal 6.9 I get error messages on the module install page saying "This version is incompatible with the 6.9 version of Drupal core." for most of the modules found under "hierarchical_select/modules" - not allowing me to select and enable/install the modules.

I had a look at the .info files (see hs_content_taxonomy.info for an example) where the dependency list is following the old format:

; $Id: hs_content_taxonomy.info,v 1.2 2008/06/28 18:25:28 wimleers Exp $
name = Hierarchical Select Content Taxonomy
description = Use Hierarchical Select as the widget for Content Taxonomy CCK fields.
dependencies = hierarchical_select content_taxonomy hs_taxonomy
package = Form Elements

In drupal 6 this should be using the new dependencies[] format instead:

; $Id: hs_content_taxonomy.info,v 1.2 2008/06/28 18:25:28 wimleers Exp $
name = Hierarchical Select Content Taxonomy
description = Use Hierarchical Select as the widget for Content Taxonomy CCK fields.
dependencies[] = hierarchical_select
dependencies[] = content_taxonomy
dependencies[] = hs_taxonomy
package = Form Elements
core = 6.x

I presume this is merely an oversight, and that these modules should work for 6.x with the appropriate .info format?

Never mind that.. These modules are NOT functional for Drupal 6.x and needs quite a bit of work. I started working on getting the CCK taxonomy one up to date, however I have not been able to get full functionality working yet, and I have very little time at my disposal right now. I will most likely have to abandon it. :(

Why are these modules, in their current state, included in the release for Drupal 6.x when they are not updated?

Perhaps you could put a note about this in the module description at least?

If you happen to have working versions of them, I would be very grateful if you could be so kind to release it. I am very much in need of a module with the CCK taxonomy functionality. (CCK widget for selection of term(s) and easy addition of new ones via AJAX)

Apart from these issues, it looks to be a brilliant module/concept. Thank you, and keep up the good work! :)

They're included because:
- it's a development *snapshot*, not an *actual* release
- they make people aware that a lot of work is yet to be done
- they haven't been ported yet (obviously), if I had ported them, they would've been committed. If you'd have searched the issue queue, you'd also have found the issues for porting them!

You're right, the project page needs to be updated. It's clearly mentioned in the README though: http://cvs.drupal.org/viewvc.py/drupal/contributions/modules/hierarchica.... If only people *read* that … ;) :P

An initial, contributed, unreviewed (not by me at least) patch has been posted in the relevant issue. I suggest you give it a try and let us know in the issue how it worked :)
