Hi,

I searched quiet a bit on the site, and couldnt find any instructions on how to do this or if there is a module necessary.
I would like to be able for someone when adding articles / nodes to drill down the taxonomy to the one they are looking for.

For example if adding an article about a car the first taxonomy would be the region after choosing a region the producers will change accordingly.

example:

Region ->
Germany
Japan

after choosing one you will get a drop down menu with all the Companies that are related to the Region. So lets say we choose germany, than the comapnies would be

Comanpy->
BMW
Mercedes
VW
Audi
Porsche

So basically the next drop down menu should always be dependent on the first choice you make in the region drop down menu and so on.

Looking forward to an answer :)

Thank you

I think I found what you need. http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_super_select check that out.

It also has a link on that page that compares a few other modules but Im going to try that one out as it seems to integrate with existing sites the best.

Im looking for the same thing. I think this should be a pretty standard thing in core by now. Think of article submission sites that allow you to drill down to the exact category before submitting.

Anyone have ideas or know what module does this (im assuming someone has made one.)

Just another note on this. If you have 100 or so taxonomy terms you really need this method. I guess one issue would be multiple select if you were to choose multiple categories during your drill down.

Sorry for the late reply, thank you for looking into this, I have been playing around with hicherical select in the meanwhile, but will still have a look at his one see which one is the way to go and or both.

Taxonomy super select worked great as far as functionality. Probably would want to theme it a little differently for a better look and feel, Have you tried both and if so which did you like.

I was googling for a solution for this & reached here but installing the hierarchical select gives me error 'Array(missing)'. So im stuck, I guess I'll have to reinstall drupal 6. Hope it works. I'll let u guys know if it works for me (after i fix the array missing error).

Just wanted to chime in with a link to Hierarchical Select: http://drupal.org/project/hierarchical_select

It's a pretty slick module and it's my frontrunner for drill-down taxonomy right now.
