[drupal-devel] [feature] Containers for taxonomy terms

[Axel]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/18647

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      4.5.2
 Component:    taxonomy.module
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     minor
 Assigned to:  Axel
 Reported by:  Axel
 Updated by:   Axel
 Status:       patch

Notes about browsers compatibility:
Such way as OPTGROUP used in patch (OPTION items placed outside
OPTGROUPs and groups are empty) it works in GEKO-browsers - containers
visible, but not selectable is what we need.
In Konqueror and Links - containers completely unvisible. It still
acceptable for usage with forum module, but may be unconvenient for
other purposes.
In Lynx - containers visible but formatting is broken.

Patch allow to use taxonomy terms like containers - they visible in
menus, but not allow to select it. This is especially usefull for forum
module but not only for it. Tested with 4.5.2.
Additionally patch requres changing db scheme (not included to patch):
ALTER TABLE `term_data` ADD `container` TINYINT(1) AFTER `description`;
I understand what patch will not be applied to official 4.5, just
placed here for users who interested with such functionality.
