Hey all,

I wanted to get this thing working w/ content taxonomy and so I did :). The problem is I did it without any regard to its existing cck widgets.

So basically the attached patch makes this module work with content taxonomy widgets but not regularly. I didn't have time to get it to work both ways. The widgets show up for text/numbers fields, but wont work right.

It works great w/ CT though :).

I decided that was a pretty sad patch and took a shot at making it better... Turns out, it was really easy.

Attached is a patch that lets this thing work with content taxonomy without effecting its current features at all.

I would love it if some people would test this guy out. I'll be putting it on a live site soon probably.

oops, found an error.

After applying patch at #1... apply this patch (sorry the 2 aren't combined)... that way you can specify the "other" text

That is a massive patch, and I'm not too confident about putting it in. I would prefer to see this implemented in a separate module TBH.

Yeah, most of the patch (like 80%) is formapi stuff, so that stuff is pretty simple. This could probably be easily be broken out into a content_taxonomy_widget.module or something. I just didn't have the time.

If this goes ahead: #981530: Port Select (or other) module to D7
Then I can turn this project into a package of support modules for integrating the select or other element with other modules.

I'm not convinced about this patch, it does not harness the existing element, rather it duplicates the functionality for a specific case. This isn't my idea of the integration patches I'd like to support.

Could this kindly remain in the queue for a feature request of Content Taxonomy Integration?
I have set the status to "needs work".
I hope this feature could please be considered.

Thank you!

I don't see a point unless you can come up with a reasonable integration patch.

+1
Any volunteer to contribute a patch/sub-module that meets danielb requirement? We would be happy to contribute testing and documentation.

I recently wrote up some code as a new D7 module that uses Select or Other form functionality to integrate with the Taxonomy module -- I called it Select or Other Taxonomy. If people are interested, I just posted the working code on a thread at the old Taxonomy Other project page. I'd love to know if it works for other people, or if people think it should end up a new module. Personally, I can see danielb's argument for not integrating it into his module, but the case could be made either way.

I'd love to see this made available by some means. From a non-coder perspective it makes sense for it to be part of this module, but if the code is incompatible then a separate module would be fine.
