Hi,

I have a taxonomy vocabulary that is set to free-tagging. When I go to the list terms page, I can no longer drag and drop terms under others, to create parent terms. If I make the vocabulary non-free tagging I can do that.

Not sure why free-tagging vocabularies have to be all on one level. I quite need to be able to able to make parent terms.

Is there a module that allows me to do this? I've tried taxonomy manager, which does work, but I would really like to stick to the drupal default taxonomy interface.

Thanks

It was intentional "by design" not to implement any navigation for free tagging.

The way free tagging is used in practice, you end up of a bunch of clusters of similar terms with low counts and it is a pointless annoyance to let people do the same thing in a tree structure. You just push somehow the tags with the highest counts.

One thing you could do is create the tagging vocabulary as an alternative vocabulary and then use http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_manager to move popular tags to your main hierarchical vocabulary.
