I am trying to determine if it is possible to create a heirarchical tag structure. The Tag Tree module seems to be close, however it does not allow me to specify the heirarchy. My goal is to create a tage structure along these lines, so it is (to me at least) easy to locate photos.

- Family and Friends
- Lorimer Marenger Family
- Carolyn Marenger
- Chantal Marenger
- Marenger Paquette Family
- Jacques Paquette
- Claire Marenger
- Europe
- Germany
- Hamburg
- Treiberg
- France
- Strassbourg
- Paris

A photo of Chantal and Claire standing in front of the Cathedral in Strassbourg, would then be tagged with Chantal, Claire, Strassbourg. As a result, it should then appear in each of the parent tag/albums as well.

The Tag Tree module is supposed to automatically create the heirarchies. I don't know that I will like the heirarchy it will create, I would like to create the heirarchy myself.

Any suggestions as to how to go about this, short of rewriting the tag module itself?

Thanks, Carolyn
