Description

This looks great. Any chance of setting it up so that users can move vocabs into groups?

This is something that makes a lot of sense. I presume this means being compatible with the fieldgroups module - there's no other module for creating groups in the node form, is there?

Ah, yes. I'm using Fieldgroup Tabs (http://drupal.org/project/cck_fieldgroup_tabs), but hope that adding support for fieldgroups in general would work. Thanks!

@matt_paz - i'm using fieldgroup tabs too, are you experiencing issues with it using this module?

@zilla - I didn't notice any problems, but uninstalled the module after realizing that vocabs couldn't be "children" ... I hadn't done any additional testing after filing this request.

just bumped into same thing... wanted to place my taxonomy in a group.

In D5 i have used cck_taxonomy wich allows you to create a new field that references a taxonomy. but i like the implementation of this module much better! (Should be in fields core imho)

If you get time to implement this feature into the dev release/patch I'm willing to test it ;-)

I investigated the fieldgroups module and wasn't able to figure out how allow extra fields to be apart of fieldsets. There doesn't seem to be the hook support on the CCK side. When I figure out exactly how it would work, I'll ask the CCK folks if there's any way we can open it up further. Basically, the 'modify fields' form where the fields are dragged around doesn't allow the taxonomy fields created by Node Form Rearrange to be added to fieldgroups. I don't know if it's a flag I need to set or whether the hook doesn't extend that far.

Will continue to look into it.

Content Taxonomy, CCK Taxonomy and modules like them are a good solution to this problem - as long as they provide the input widget you want. In my case, they didn't. They can be rearranged and added to fieldgroups.

Have used content_taxonomy ... but it isn't a good fit for me. I'd LOVE to use this module if you gain any traction on the issue.

Thanks!

All the other modules are average, really. Support for taxonomy as a true FAPI element plus some more changes will make it into core for D7. Meanwhile, I want this in a group.

It seems from http://drupal.org/node/135803 that there is a chance that hacking nodeapi could allow for this functionality. I'm going to have a bash and if it works I'll look into this module's workings.

Edit: this module breaks taxonomy_super_select, which is no great surprise. It would be nice if there were a few little alterations to cater for these few taxonomy modules. I would guess that its quite common to be using several modules if one is being used at all.
