The widget is available in node forms and as Views exposed filter.
This module has been inspired by Hierarchical select but is much simpler (hence the name ;) ).
Unlike Hierarchical select this module provides a simple widget for taxonomy terms only. As an addition Simple hierachical select works as Views exposed filter.
Alternative modules to consider when evaluating shs
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.
- "Allow creating new terms"
-
- 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 ;)
Thanks to Ivan Zugec there is now a wonderful documentation on how to install and use Simple hierarchical select: http://webwash.net/tutorials/using-simple-hierarchical-select-module-dru...
With SHS 7.x-1.7 (and development versions later than 2016-03-01) displaying the number of nodes associated to a term is not part of the module anymore. An example for developers on how to add the functionality to your site has been moved to a sub-module.
If you need a working module for that, have a look at SHS Entity count.
