It seems like it would be better if there was at least an _option_ for causing all items not in a field group to show up on a single tab of their own, instead of on all tabs.

Several modules (location, event, taxonomy) add their own widgets for displaying or entering data to be attached to nodes, and some users might not want to put all their cck fields into field groups for some reason (for instance, some modules seem to get a bit spastic when a field they act on is in a fieldgroup.)

For that matter, a way to set the default tab would be nice, too!

It's a good idea, but would take a bit of work to implement.

We'd need a new table to hold information for each form. We would need three fields:

form_id varchar
status boolean The status of the field
title varchar The title of the tab

Then add form elements to the content type editing pages, checkbox for whether to put all non-tabbed elements on one 'cleanup' tab (status field) and title of the tab (title field).

Title: problem-anything not in fieldgroup shows up in all tabs » Have an extra tab for non-cck fields (title, body...)

Clearer title. I marked http://drupal.org/node/245388 a duplicate.

I introduced this, now available in 5.x.

Note, requires running update.php.

I have run update.php still unable to group the non CCK fields. Can anybody help me out to group the non CCK fields into tabs.
for example I want to show title and body in one Tab and Taxonomy in another tab.

Thanks
Ram

@Rambabu katta - There's an option on the settings page to make a tab for ungrouped fields. There's only one, though. If you want them on separate tabs, that would be a new feature request.
