Hi

I've been trying to figure out how I can categorize new content in a similar way as Hierarchical Select does, that is, if I have a hierarchical taxonomy that I want to apply to the new content, I select the top level first, which then populates another list with the next level in the hierarchy, and so on. It's like when you have a list of countries, you select the country fist from the country list, then select a city in another list which only shows the cities that belong to the selected country.

I was hoping Hierarchical Select would allow me to do this but it apparently does not support categorizing new content, as I still get the old way of select the taxonomy term(s). Also, it does not support doing this using a CCK field in the version of Drupal I'm running (6.13).

Since I will be using fairly large taxonomies I need to be able to populate the lists with the minimum amount of information based on what the user selects. HS would be perfect for this but according to discussions I've read, it seems that the complexity to get this to work when registering new content is quite high.

Maybe Taxonomy Manager can do this but I haven't tried it since it is incompatible with Panels 3 which I'm planning on using. If Taxonomy Manager can do this dynamically, then I might consider ditching Panels.

Do I have any other options?

Thanks,
JP

You need to configure the vocabulary to use hierarchical select.

Edit the vocabulary in question.

Make sure "Use the Hierarchical Select form element for this vocabulary" is checked.

Set "Hierarchical Select configuration" options as desired.

Save your changes.

Yes, that did the trick - Thanks nevets.

Using the module I downloaded from the HS project site I got an 'Invalid response from server' when selecting the first term in a taxonomy:term filter on a view. To fix that I installed an update from post #126 in this thread: http://drupal.org/node/342991. This change should also be in the CVS. Just thought I would mention this here in case someone else gets this error.

Hi. I am hoping to get help from you. I am also working on the Taxonomy with Hierarchical Select. I tried adding webform on the page for them to be able to submit schedules. I would like to create a drill down menu on the other page using taxonomy and hierarchical select so when they select "Canada" on the Country menu, only cities and dates will show up on the other menu.

I wanted to add Country, City, and Date menus. But once they selected "Canada" in Country menu, then it will only show up cities and dates under that selection.

Thank you!
