I am saying this is a usability bug. Look at your term edit screen before and after :)

Also removed some very dead-looking code. If you want to change a form, then you use hook_form_alter. The code removed did not pass the term, so what gives?

Let's make it easier for advanced taxonomy modules to make the Advanced Options open by adding a variable, without adding a UI for it.

Notes: I think synonyms should have a note saying that it is only used if some module utilizes it. I think description should say that the description is only used for administrative purposes unless some add-on module utlizes it.

I also think cleaning up the vocabulary page similar to this approach is more important; it's the first page someone sees, and those options are opaque.

Definite improvement.

The closely related vocabulary form would benefit even more from a similar overhaul.

I agree with merlin's comments. Implement them and this gets committed. :)

Can I request a very simple and friendly usability enhancement to this page: the cursor should default to the 'Term' field, so you can enter a whole series of terms without having to reach for the mouse each time. This is something that is a major PITA when you have a long list of terms to enter.

I would be happy to figure this out (jquery or plain js?) and add it to the patch if there is interest - it should only be a couple of lines.

I would like to see this moving so please add JS in a separate issue. Also, vocabulary edit is a separate one.

reviewed and works great.

- 'Advanced Options' should be 'Advanced options'.
- The relation stuff is not showing up here (making the form not quite 'advanced').

Marking as Code needs work based on Dries' comments.

Doesn't look like this will get into 5 - so moving it to 6.

Now that taxonomy_manager is here, makes sense to bump this to 7.x.

There is already an advanced fieldset on the term form, and the interface is much simplified.

Marking 'fixed'.
