Hi I am a bit familiar with php, enought to follow instructions.
were what should I change on your module so when someone submits a story instead of typing in the tags they can
choose from a drop down box or similar like the categories?I say this because I will like for them to see the ones I created to give them
ideas on how to tag it with out them having a blank box.

Thanks!

I think you simply have to go to administer/category and edit the Tags vocabulary and uncheck the FREETAGGING checkbox. Then you need to add terms to this vocabulary.

Ho,

By design, tags are words the user types. They are not something that is taken from a menu -- they wouldn't be tags if they were...

Have a look here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tag_%28metadata%29

By design, Drigg requires tags. This is probably not a very sensible idea, possibly -- the real reason why it's in the form at all is that the Pligg importer needs it. Over time, I can only assume that the Pligg importer will be less and less relevant.

For now, what you can do is this:

* Have a tag taxonomy associated with the Drigg scoops

* Configure Drigg so that it's "happy"

* Disable the tags taxonomy, and create a new one which satisfies your requirements.

Please let me know if you have any problems with this.

Merc.

I see.. :-/ well I try to work with what you said, but will be nice to be able to have sub categories that is basically what I am looking for. :-)

Thanks
