Taxonomy text fields

Thanks for referring me to the taxonomy limit module however freetagging is not supported.

My request is really to set a practical limit for this field (words, characters - doesn't matter) in the same way as the maxlength modules does for body & title. Too many tags will spoil the layout. Installation of this module was primarily as a failsafe to limit the effects of potential spammers and spoilers.

Excellent - you're spot on - I didn't notice it in the description - it [still] specifically says no freetagging support on the module config page. Also it didn't work until you check 'multiple terms allowed' in the freetagging category (normally assumed by drupal with freetagging categories).

Upon reflection I think I would still prefer a character limit option - purely because a term limit has too much scope - given that a term can be more than one word, 8 terms could be 32, 50 or 150 characters (or more!). For the time being however I guess it is okay.

Done.

To go back to the other side of your original question..

Would it be practical for the maxlength module to analyse the length of each individual tag? I've put the same request to the developer of the taxonomy limit module. Where would it be better implemented?

Obviously feel free to close this topic if you've taken it as far as you'd like - I'm just voicing possibilities as it is already a very useful module.

Amended request for v2

Broadened to say perhaps a maxlength for any chosen taxonomy field, whether multiple terms or not.
