Taxonomy Batch Operations: Plans to upgrade to 6x?

I've started working on an upgrade. Will supply patch when done.

Subscribing..... :-)
//TB

I got halfway through this and then had to abandon because of time limitations. Getting it to work with forms api was trickier than I thought. If someone out there can offer support to help speed development, contact me.

Also I'm willing to chip in $100 to make this upgrade happen. If you want to to contribute money, I will find someone to upgrade this module, let me know.

Closed #277204: Port to D6 and #241657: Porting to 6? as duplicates of this one.

very much interested here too

The features that this module adds to taxonomy administration are features that I think should be in core. I wish I could help with the migration to D6.

I'm still getting up to speed with D6, and rather tied up timewise in general (many thanks to TBarragen for having stepped up to help maintain and apply the patches that were lingering). That said, I've taken a first pass at updating to 6. There are some issues, primarily with changes in taxonomy.module that now have the deletion mechanism fairly tied up with form states, which doesn't match cleanly with what we are doing via the delete link.

Also, I'm not sure that the weight selects are necessary anymore given the drag and drop sorting capabilities of the taxonomy term table in D6.

Multiple add and such is working fine, however. So there may be a D6 release soon, contingent on available time. Any volunteers to assist are more than welcome to lend a hand. My priority is going to be to supply a patch against D7 to try to get the "Delete all selected" into core.

Excellent news!
Unfortunately my skills are too limited to help.

drawk, do you want to post what you have already as a patch so people can pick it up and help iron out the remaining issues?

if stuff of this module goes into D7 - great! it is/was always a big help for me ...

thanks a lot!

Hi there, if all goes well we will have a developer starting shortly (1-2 weeks) with reasonable PHP and some Drupal experience. Among their tasks will be to assist in upgrading (if possible) certain modules we require before upgrading some of our sites to D6.

Can you provide any update on how the upgrade is going and possibly where our developer could assist.

The current modules we're looking to get upgraded are below in order of importance to our sites.

http://drupal.org/project/ad
http://drupal.org/project/node_limitnumber
http://drupal.org/project/remember_me
http://drupal.org/project/taxonomy_batch_operations

Obviously if things are going well and no assistance is required then that's great news.

Thanks

I'm quite unsure about how I want to pursue this. The drag and drop table functionality and the taxonomy deletion changes in D6+ make things a little awkward. That combined with the fact that I am still not on D6 for any production sites so that my interest in a D6 version is mostly just academic (and to help people out who are looking for a D6 version), means that progress on this has not been too quick.

For those who want the 'bulk add' operations, you can actually run the module through Deadwood and inherit that functionality pretty much off the bat.

For a proper D6 version, I think we are going to have to lose the weights field at the very least. I've played around with two approaches .. one was revert the form back to the old style (no drag and drop) and keep the weights field, the other to integrate the delete button into the newer style taxonomy management form and abandon the weights. I'm leaning now towards the latter approach.

Hopefully I'll have some free time over the holidays to tinker with this some more, but if anyone wants to step up and contribute a patch or two, that would be very helpful. It does seem that a lot of people are looking forward to a D6 release, and I simply haven't been able to find as much time as I'd like to crank one out.

Hi,
Your comment: For those who want the 'bulk add' operations, you can actually run the module through Deadwood and inherit that functionality pretty much off the bat.
Could you may be provide this peace of code allready for D6, so multiple terms can be added at once?
Thanks a lot in advance!

I tried the deadwood module. Didn't work. Didn't have time to explore it any depth, though. If someone figures out, please post.

I would appreciate to have a modul like this in D6! Unfortunately I'm still a beginner in Drupal and can't help either to develop it. :(

I tried taxonomy manager and it seems to be ok.

@mrgoltra
Thanks for the info.
I installed Taxonomy Manager it is okay for me to.

For sites waiting for a D6 version of this module, you might find that the views bulk operations module does the trick.

Same here!

And I think views bulk operations only have operations for nodes.

please make an upgrade to 6 - i only need a simple interface with some more options in the taxonomy administration: no taxonomy manager as a big big module ...

I could really use this on a D6 site (i've got 500+ terms to import), and I've got some free time today, so I'll see if I can get a patch rolled. I just took a glance at the code and it doesn't look like it'll be too bad. drawk's done a good job of keep his code pretty clean. =)

Thanks Dave - I'll be happy to review and apply any patches you might submit.

Hi,

Right taxonomy batch operations is useful to import list of terms.

In fact, there is two other similar modules, taxonomy_xml and taxonomy_csv, which I currently maintain.

Taxonomy_csv and taxonomy_batch_operations have same objectives. Differences are only with user interface. Internal structures are too very different, but end user don't care about it.

I've worked too on taxonomy_batch_operations and i can publish a 6.x version, but this version doesn't fix some bugs i've found in previous issues, because it's a simple translation from 5.x to 6.x.

That's why, as I've just released an update of the core of taxonomy_csv, i'm going to now add a text area import. I hope that will answer to users needs.

Also VBO now supports taxonomy operations on term views, only delete as of now, but adding new ones is easy
