I don't know if this is the right place to post this request, but I need some functionality that maybe this module should have.
I need to filter the nodes to reference by a taxonomy term first and then select the node. Is this possible with this module? Is there another module for this?
Thanks!

jrao commentedIt depends on what you mean by "filter", it's possible to use a view to limit the referenced nodes in dropdown. But if you mean a separate taxonomy dropdown, then I think you'll need some custom development.

goldlilys commentedThis is exactly what I need. Is it possible to use hierarchical select with node reference to have a hierarchy of taxonomy --> node . It's because if we have a lot of nodes on this particular content type, we don't want users to scroll to hundreds, if not thousands of nodes before their able to find the node their referencing.
As an example:
Scenario: Want to reference albums (content type) to its artists (content type) where artists belongs to a country (taxonomy)
So I created a view that lists out artists and group it by country
Then create a node reference in the albums to reference artists .
I want to be able to:
Use hierarchical select where first level is country, second level is the artists node itself.
Country is not a content type because I'm only using 3 of them. There's no need to have content types with only 3 nodes.
Please can this be added. Thanks in advance.

joecanti commentedHi,
Maybe the module they are talking about will help you? http://drupal.org/node/626070
Usually major priority is reserved for when lots of people have agreed top wanting some functionality, so switching back to normal,

jrao commented@goldlilys: In your example, I think it would be much easier if you just make country a content type and use existing functionality. It would take some time to design and implement this feature (will probably need to reuse some stuff from hs_taxonomy), and I'm currently tied up in other projects, I'll try to implement this when I have time.

goldlilys commentedAlright, thanks for working on it. I'll try to work with content types for now.

halloffame commented+1 I need this as well.
@goldlilys How did you go about doing this?
@joecanti What module are you talking about? Your link seems to point to the screenshot of this module.
