Hi Ron,
I have one small question. I would like to enter a number of default keywords (which I set as common and required) for users. I used the field "Hint" to provide some suggestions, but when I create a new entry, nothing gets displayed in the field except a small gray ring at its end. I have used tab, enter, arrows, but nothing seems to happen. What should I do?
Thanks again.
Best,
Calimera

The "Hint" is the small gray text under the input box, which probably says "Separate keywords using the " ; " character"

The "Hint" field will not pre-populate the field with a default value, the user would still have to type it in. Presumably you don't want the same keywords for every entry do you?

Ron.

Users should choose 3 keywords. One of them must be chosen among 15 very general keywords which I set (ex. 15th-c. literature, 16th-c. literature, 17th-c. history, etc.), the others are freely chosen.
I just want to display somewhere the list of the 15 keywords and users will type them in. Even though I changed the hint settings, the keywords are not displayed either in the input box -- and, as you said, that is not what the hint field does -- nor under the input box instead of "Separate keywords using..." -- and this is weird.

Thanks again,
Calimera

Ahh, I think what you want to do is use the taxonomy integration. Basically, you will create a taxonomy vocabulary (admin/content/taxonomy/add/vocabulary), check the Biblio content type, make it "multiple select" and "required", then populate it with the terms you want to use. A new section will then show on the input form with these terms listed and require the user to select at least one of them.

Ron.

Wow, that's exactly what I was looking for. This module is really fantastic!
Thanks a lot!

I can't take credit for the taxonomy stuff, that's a core module of Drupal.
