Hi there,

Thanks for the great module! I was wondering if it is possible to use this module for selecting taxonomy terms.

Right now, in order to select multiple terms in a list, I must hold control and select them, what would be great is if I could use multiselect to select these terms.

Is there a way to do this?

Thanks!

It's a good idea. I'd like to have this feature as well, but I don't know of a way to implement a widget using the core Taxonomy module. I'll try to research it in the next few days.

Dear slinc and ipto,

I made a small modification to the module that allows it to work with the "Content Taxonomy" module, which seems to be fairly popular. That module apparently creates a CCK field out of your taxonomy vocabularies. When you are setting up a taxonomy CCK field, you'll be able to use Multiselect as your display widget. Please test out the 6.x-1.x-dev version of Multiselect and let me know if this works out OK for you, and if you think this is a good implementation.

Thanks attheshow,

Is it possible to not require setting a taxonomy as a CCK Field? How about just integrating it into the core taxonomy module, so it shows up immediately.

I know that this can be done: See the active tags project at http://drupal.org/project/active_tags

Apparently, they managed to enable a widget for taxonomy tags. I hope this will help!

Thanks, and I'm looking forward to using this great feature!

Yeah, that's a pretty simple module. It actually isn't really a selectable widget though. It looks like it just does a form_alter and replaces all freetagging taxonomy fields in your entire site. In my opinion, the user should have the option to NOT use a widget if they prefer.

Because this module is targeted primarily at CCK fields and not the display of the core Taxonomy module, we would need to have some sort of admin screen where the user can say "Yes, I want to use Multiselect for my taxonomy fields." I'm a bit hesitant to create an admin screen for the Multiselect module though, when it's only going to have this single checkbox on it.
