Drupal 7 version of Suggested Terms?

A D7 version of this module is really a complete rewrite to be a Widget for the new taxonomy reference field. Doing so is not currently on my radar as it's low priority for me. :-( If someone wants to take a stab at it, though, I'm happy to review it.

Such a rewrite should coordinate with the Active Tags upgrade, see #829110: Drupal 7 plans for Active Tags?.

Active Tags D6 includes tag suggestions for "popular" terms. What we need looks to be:

* A pluggable API for generating tag suggestions. Implementations could include the current ones plus e.g. suggested tags from Extractor, Calais, etc.
* A tag suggestions widget that works both with the default autocomplete and with other tag adding widgets, e.g., Active Tags.

Nedjo, that's basically what the Tagging module tried to do. However the maintainer of that module managed to piss off most of the other taxonomy-helper maintainers so no one was interested in collaborating with him.

I do think that a combined widget-backed approach is the right way forward for Drupal 7. I just don't really have the time to work on it myself right now.

I looked at Tagging but concluded that it did too much in one place. Active tags is better as a light UI widget, not tied to a large set of modules with a related but more narrow set of use cases. Need the ability to back the widget with an optional, separate tag suggestion API.

Some initial steps sketched out in #942826: Make pluggable, offer an API.

Hopefully someone can find the time to rewrite it. Seems like a useful module!

this is very useful module for me. I use it on about 20-30 sites. In this time some of project i want move to Drupal 7 and this module is one of few very missing modules :(

I have no Drupal 7 sites at present that need this module, so I don't have much time to spend on it. Because of changes to Drupal 7, a D7 port of this module is not a trivial task. I'd love to get help on this port if anyone has availability. Really, it needs to be rewritten as a Field Widget.

For those looking for alternative, found http://drupal.org/project/autocomplete_deluxe to be the closest in term of functionality, even more. Perhaps module developers should consider join effort with that?

Autocomplete Deluxe compatibility would be useful for a D7 version, but I don't think it duplicates Suggested Terms' functionality. As far as I can tell, Autocomplete Deluxe is mostly just window dressing for Drupal's core autocomplete abilities.

Crell suggested that this should be a field widget unto itself, but davereid has mentioned to me that hook_field_widget_form_alter() might allow this module to make use of existing taxonomy widgets.

There is now a 7.x-1.x branch that can be checked out. It is totally nonfunctional and patches to get it closer to a working state are welcome.

7.x-1.x-dev is now available to be installed for testing and review purposes. Since it's available and issues can be filed against it, I'm closing this issue as fixed. I would really welcome testing, bug reports, and patches against 7.x-1.x.
