I am new to the Hierarchical Select module (which is only partially ported to D7) and am uncertain how to proceed past installation. Both the core module and the HS Taxonomy module are installed and enabled, but beyond that, I do not know how to get the select boxes to show up on a node. The README.TXT file, step 3 of 3, says:
3) If you want to use it for one or more of your vocabularies, go to
admin/content/taxonomy and click the "edit" link for a vocabulary. Now scroll
down and you'll find a whole range of Hierarchical Select settings. All
settings are explained there as well.
I believe however that this is for D6. I have also found the settings I am interested in from the demo page (the first one on the Taxonomy tab) but am not sure what exactly to do with it. Basically, I just want to use Taxonomy as the source for my hierarchy, and render the drop boxes (starting with just the first and then using AJAX to populate each child as selections are made) onto a page whereby I can have users pick their way through the hierarchy, ultimately arriving at a specific set of selections which I can then use to point them to a specific URL. It is essentially a "Part Finder", taking hierarchical data and presenting it to the user in order for them to narrow down their selections to a specific part.
