Hey guys,
I have been trying to get an image gallery setup at work and I noticed a few things that I think should be added to taxonomy.
First, a simply modification to _taxonomy_term_select() allows for checkboxes instead of the dreaded multiselect box, which requires the CTRL key in order to pick out certain terms. Less knowledgeable users cannot be expected to know of this CTRL function, and thus I believe that checkboxes would be much more desireable.
Second, a while back I was looking at making a list of terms, which could be selected using checkboxes. At the bottom of the checkbox list, I wanted to have a textfield labelled "other", where the user could use it similar to free tagging. This way the user could add new tags that aren't already included.
I know that certain modules add the first suggestion, but I was trying to work with "Image Fupload" which is only able to use the stock Taxonomy functions. I feel as if the checkboxes are very easy to add, and cannot think of a reason why they should not come with the stock Taxonomy module.
Any comments?
