Proposing integration of select2 jQuery plugin

    What about I have a huge number of posts, from the haystack, I have to connect. Yes, MLP has that option, searching to find the correct match:

    What about I have a hierarchical taxonomy:
    All over the World/Asia/South Asia/Bangladesh

    I’m editing the term Bangladesh in one of my language, and want to connect to
    সারা বিশ্বব্যাপী/এশিয়া/দক্ষিণ এশিয়া/বাংলাদেশ

    With a huge number of terms, you know using a dropdown if I start typing “B”, it won’t pop the Bangladesh up, because the first letter is “A”.

    But using a fuzzy searching jQuery plugin like select2 can make the thing more easy. I enabled select2 for my project on MLP fields:

    You can reThink about the post connections UI also, with JSON based select2 implementation.

    It will add only around 80kb extra load to your site. 🙂

    Thank you for the nice plugin.

    Hi there,

    term translation is (still) in its early stages, and we will definitely (have to) work on the UI.

    If you want to use select2, or Chosen or so, you can do so on your own. Just target the edit-tags.php page, then apply the according JS function to each element in $( '#mlp-term-translations select' ).

    Kind regards,
    Thorsten

    I already implemented it. But I thought it’d be good for all the MLP users, if it’s available with MLP core. Good luck.
