Re: [development] Taxonomy usability improvement: Hierarchy -> Term structure
HUGE +1 from me too. -- Liza Sabater, Publisher culturekitchen.com dailygotham.com AIM cultkitdiva MOB 646.552.7365 --------- Original Message -------- From: development@drupal.org To: development@drupal.org <development@drupal.org> Subject: Re: [development] Taxonomy usability improvement: Hierarchy -> Term structure Date: 14/11/07 11:50
I was going to say "'Multiple parent' is confusing because it doesn't
describe what it currently does". But I decided to give it a try and
be hold ... "single" actually does mean "single parent" and "multiple" "multiple parent".
I had always wondered why Taxonomy supported multiple parents internally, but never exposed that to the UI. But it did. (I interpreted "single" as a two-layered vocabulary, where you couldn't have a third layer.)
So you get a big +1 from me :)

+1 also. It gets rid of new terminology of the sort where you have to know what it means before you know what it means. J-P Liza Sabater wrote:
