Tags dropdown and 2 column extra fields was created by Marc

To save time with tags, is it possible to have a drop down of your current tags on the new item screen, so u can select as many as you want?

Also is it possible to display Extra Info (Extra fields) in a two column display rather than the current one?

Extra fields in two cols
use an override
Edit item.php
Find the foreach block of code that displays extra fields and their names
Edit it to insert a table, row, two cells, and on the loop create a new row

Ok Thanks, sounds easy enough.

In regards to the tags question, seems odd that we can add tags in the tags tab, but then can't add these tags to an item. Or am I missing something there?

when you add a tag to an item while adding a new item or editing an item, a tag gets created in the tags table. It works as the lookup/autofind when you are typing the tag again

Can I be a pain and ask for some example code of a table, the way I'm trying to do it now isn't working. Do I start the table before or after the foreach block?

You have to try something like

.itemExtraFields ul { list-style: none outside none; margin: 0; padding: 0; }
.itemExtraFields ul li { display: inline-block; vertical-align: top; width: 50%; margin: 0 -2px; padding: 0; }

You might need to set your own paddings and margins to the list (ul)
