I had been using HS successfully for some time. However, I recently merged some of my taxonomy terms using the Taxonomy Manager module. Now, when I create a view and select the merged term using HS, I get duplicate entries for the nodes in the view. You can see an example at:

I tried deactivating and reactivating the HS module, but that did not help. The duplication does not happen with terms that were not merged. So, it appears that this problem stems from the merging of two terms.

This isn't and can't ever be a HS issue. HS merely displays taxonomy terms, it does never affect the term-nodes relations, you can simply use it to change those.

You've clearly given the cause yourself: the Taxonomy Manager module.

hi!

can you explain me exactly which terms you merged? it's not possible to have duplicated entries in the term_node table, so I'm a bit confused how this can happen...
you can add a node distinct filter to your view. this will prevent showing the same nodes more often, but won't solve the problem itself.
another reason may be, that your view is not correct.

For example, I had a hierarchical category 2007->Ruby->February that I merged with a category 2007->February. Once I did that the view started showing duplicate nodes. The duplication only happens once I apply the category filter to the view. The original view does not have duplicate entries.

The node distinct filter does fix the display, but I'm still interested in how to fix the real problem.

I had to uncheck the "TYPE" entries in my volcabulary to stop duplicate fields from showing up during content creation and views. I might have just missed this necessity in the install.txt however...

does this problem still exists? this problem might be more related in configuring the views than a problem in merging
