Hi Wim,
Thanks for an excellent module, I'm very pleased with it.
I'm building a site with >1000 terms in a multi parent taxonomy. These terms are destinations, and to make them easy for users to find some fall under multiple parents - for example the mediterranean term shares child terms with Africa and Europe.
Users won't be adding or editing content, but I am providing a custom search form and using hs_taxonomy_form to provide the widget. The search box is displayed in a sidebar, and when viewing a /taxonomy/term/nnn page it inherits the term ID
I've found when I select a term manually the select follows the lineage or path I choose which is great, but understandably it gets confused when I visit a term with multiple lineages and I get a number of blank select boxes.
I'm not too fussy which lineage HS uses but it would be nice to only expose one - is it possible to ask it just to return the first possible lineage it finds?
Thanks,
Jonny

I'm not entirely sure what you mean. Please:
1) ensure save_lineage is enabled
2) if that doesn't fix the problem, create a screencast to clarify the problem.
P.S.: don't have any screencast software yet? On Windows and Mac OS X, you can use the free Jing.

Hi Wim,
In the end I realised using the Taxonomy left me with other issues too, so I knuckled down and eventually got the HS API to work after a few hours (I had a typo in my validation function name so spent about 5 hrs trying to work out why I could never get to the second level - d'oh!)
All is looking good now tho, so thanks again for a great module.
Cheers,
Jonny
