Hi,

Is there a way to change how the options for tags are displayed to the user who is adding a record? My users don't know what the tags are, so the 'search' is not really applicable. Is there a way to change this so that the user can select from a list of all tags or a tag cloud?

Thanks,

Dale.

Yes, not only for Tags. You have different styles for other filters, too.
Filter display settings are controlled in your Section's markup template:

Edit your Section -> General Parameters -> Templates -> default (click edit button)

cob_markup_layout_template_settings

In modal window, see tab Filters -> Filter modes -> Tags style

cob_filter_modes_and_styles

Examples frontend display

Checkboxes

filter_style_tags_checkbox

Select

filter_style_tags_select

Cloud / Links

filter_style_tags_cloud

Great thankyou. I knew I'd seen it somewhere, but 'couldn't see it for looking' as they say. :-)

And how do I do the same for a submission form please?

Is there also a way to restrict the user in the number of tags they can allocate, in my case, only 1.

Thankyou.
