Simple hierarchical select

Dependencies

• Taxonomy module is required to use Simple hierarchical select.
• For better performance you may consider installing the High-performance JavaScript callback handler. It speeds up the load time of each request (for example after selecting a new value) incredibly.

Installation

Install as usual, see the documentation pages about installing modules:
Installing modules (Drupal 7) Installing Drupal 10 Modules

Configuration

Field

• Create a new field (type "Term reference") and select "Simple hierarchical select" as widget type.
• Field settings
  • "Allow creating new terms"
    Terms may be created directly from within the dropdowns (user needs to have permission to create terms in the vocabulary).
  • "Allow creating new levels"
    If selected users with permission to create terms in the vocabulary will be able to create a new term as child of the currently selected term.
    Note: This option is available only if "Allow creating new terms" is checked.
  • "Force selection of deepest level"
    Force users to select terms from the deepest level.
  • "Output this field with Chosen"
    If you install the Chosen module you can decide here on a per field base when to render the dropdowns with Chosen.

Views (exposed filter)

• add a new filter using the field set-up as "Simple hierarchical select" or
  use "Content: Has taxonomy terms (with depth; Simple hierarchical select)"
  as a new filter
• use "Simple hierarchical select" as selection type
• select "Expose this filter to visitors, to allow them to change it"
• enjoy ;)
