There is an established existing project that does exactly the same thing at http://drupal.org/project/easylink
If possible it would be great to merge your work with EasyLink, especially since it doesn't have a stable 6.x release yet (and would need significant work to enable to WYSIWYG-TinyMCE and Views 2) - there is an issue at http://drupal.org/node/310443 - if the current maintainer is non-responsive you may want to contact them, and possibly follow up with the drupal maintainers to get commit rights.

tronathan commentedI'm unclear on how to proceed with this merge. As you said, because this module uses Views 2 and WYSIWYG, and the architecture is so different, does it make sense to deprecate EasyNode? Or should I create a 6x release by bringing my project code into the easynode project as a different release?

ShutterFreak commentedThere's even another Drupal 5 module doing a similar job: http://drupal.org/project/linktocontent.
But I really prefer the Views + WYSYWYG approach (and the nifty Views based node picker/search widgets) of tinymce_node_picker.
It would be interesting to see how difficult it would be to add a taxonomy based node picker in this module, similar to what's available in the Drupal 5 based linktocontent project.
Cheers,
Olivier
Comment #3
tronathan commentedModifying the module to do taxonomy-based node picking can be achieved by editing the view provided in this module and exposing a views filter for a vocabulary. The user could click on a tag and the results would restrict to show only nodes with that tag.
Is this the functionality you're looking for?
Because of the architectural differences between tinymce_node_picker and EasyLink, there are no plans to merge this module with EasyLink. There are also no plans to release a Drupal 5 version (though a Drupal 7 version is in the works).
Please let me know if you're able to edit the view to allow users to pick based on tax, and close this issue if so.
Thanks!

peter törnstrand commentedClosing this as there will be no merge. Any feature request for taxonomy based filtering needs to be created as own issues.
