Taxonomy Fields

I am trying to raise funds to port Taxonomy Fields to Drupal 6.x.
Planned is an mostly unchanged initial release to upgrade from Drupal 5.x., including all original features like CCK fields added depending on taxonomy, the child term option and support for Content Taxonomy fields.

Also requested features and changes on the to-do-list are:

-new tables instead of using 'variables' table
-use of the Drupal 6.x AHAH API
-compatibly with CCK 2
-initial autocomplete support
-parent fields option

Estimated development time will probably be around 4 to 6 weeks. I know this sounds very long at first but on one hand I simply can't work on it all the time and on the other the debugging process can be very long. It took more than two months to get the last version completely up and running, hopefully not as long this time ;)

So please all chip in and the new version will be here as soon as possible!

--------------------

The taxonomy_fields module brings two important modules together: CCK and taxonomy. As CCK can assign fields to content types, taxonomy_fields can assign CCK fields to categories. By doing this, content types are not limited to the same range of fields anymore.
Nodes of the same content type can now contain absolutely different fields. Simply assign a field to a term and every node in this category will now contain this field. When choosing a new term for a node, the field-form will appear next time on the edit-page.

Further more taxonomy_fields gives you two extra options:

• Universal values for fields. When activated, this field will always carry the same value for this term, users can not edit the value. This option can be used for standard disclaimers for example. Does not work with image-fields and file-fields.
• Ancestor fields. When activated, all nodes will show the fields of all ancestors of this term. Can be used with single and multiple hierarchies, so you don't have to assign the same field to all of your sub-categories.

Requires CCK 1.5 or higher and should support even older versions of field modules.
