   Hello,

   Following this quick tutorial, I was able to successfully hook into the category write panels with the following:

   add_action('add_category_form', 'my_function_blahblah');
   add_action('edit_category_form', 'my_function_blahblah');
   add_action('create_category','my_function_blahblah');
   add_action('edit_category','my_function_blahblah');

   Now I'm trying to figure out if I can do the same thing for a custom taxonomy? Is it possible? Any clues? :-)

   There are quite a few hooks you can use depending on where you want to add in your form fields.
   Open up edit-tags.php and edit-tag-form.php and look for any of the non deprecated do_action hooks like do_action($taxonomy . 'the hook name');

   The ones i found useful fire just before the submit button:
   On your Custom Taxonomy Add page you can use:
   add_action($taxonomy.'_add_form_fields', 'callback_function');
   On your Custom Taxonomy Edit page you can use:
   add_action($taxonomy.'_edit_form', 'callback_function');

   They pass the current $taxonomy_term to the callback function.

   In my case is did this:
   add_action('product-category_edit_form', 'category_meta_fields');
   add_action('product-category_add_form_fields', 'category_meta_fields');

   function category_meta_fields($term){
   print_r($term); // to see what you get passed
   }

   Hope that helps someone, as i spent a good hour trying to find this out.
