Use Chosen for a replacement WordPress taxonomy metabox
<?php
/**
* WordPress Chosen Taxonomy Metabox
* Author: Helen Hou-Sandi
*
* Use Chosen for a replacement taxonomy metabox in WordPress
* Useful for taxonomies that aren't changed much on the fly and are
* non-hierarchical in nature, as Chosen is for flat selection only.
* You can always use the taxonomy admin screen to add/edit taxonomy terms.
* Categories need slightly different treatment from the rest in order to
* leverage the correct form field name for saving without interference.
*
* Includes two filters:
* * ctm_taxes_and_types for filtering the array of post types and taxonomies.
* Post types and taxonomies should both be the slug versions.
* This filter is more of an example for the moment,
* as you would likely edit the member variable directly.
* * ctm_tax_label for filtering the label used in the meta box display.
* Receives the $tax (slug name of the taxonomy) and the $post_type slug.
*
* Example screenshot: http://cl.ly/2T2D232x172G353i2V2C
