A widget to assist users entering hierarchical data using an autocomplete textfield on node add/edit forms.
Only the 6.x-2 branch can be associated with multiple select vocabularies. This branch can now be optionally used to bypass the core Drupal server / memory intensive handling of large vocabularies. It loads a single item rather than the entire vocabulary!
This new branch CAN NOT be used with Hierarchical Select or Big Autocomplete TAXonomy as only one such module is supported by Drupal.. This limitation is slowly being removed from core Drupal 7.
A hierarchical pseudo "free tagging" feature is an optional feature in the 6.x branches where new terms can be added and positioned from a singular textfield into any hierarchical vocabulary.
Module sponsored by the Internet Bird Collection - http://ibc.lynxeds.com
Installation
The module comes with no inbuilt vocabularies, so configure these up first. Make sure that you associated it with the content type that you want. Remember free tagging support is not covered in any branch, but you can still mimic this using the "pseudo free tagging feature" feature within the TaxiSelect settings.
After enabling the module, go to the "TaxiSelect settings" page under "Site configuration".

Associates the widget with the vocabulary and content type.
No more new features will be added to either the 5 or 6 branches, but suggestions for the yet to be started 7 branch is open.
The only major change planned is that the element will become a field, a requirement for Drupal 7.
I am planning an extended world trip, so I am looking for co-maintainers or a new maintainer to help out. It has some advanced SQL concepts, so experienced developers only.No upgrade path to Drupal 7 has been started yet. If no response to a request is given after a few weeks, guide the web masters here to confirm the request. I'll leave it in their hands to decide on your experience. There is some talk about merging with the Tagging module, but no actual plan / work has been started.
