I understand a little better what you want to do. Having
coaches fill out the fields accurately is a challenge.
Maybe someone will correct me on this, but I think
you're better off sticking with CCK fields, rather than taxonomy.
If you want to offer convenience to the person filling out
the node fields, then check out Textfield Autocomplete Module. I haven't
tried it, because I think it was only recently released, but it looks like it
will do what you want to do.
So if this is a sports team site, you might be interested
in checking out the sports site I built recently. It doesn't have individual
player information, but it involves a lot of teams. I haven't built out the
content as completely as I intend, but it may give you some
ideas.
Thanks for the response Jim. Like I said I'm new, but I most of the
information that will get entered will be the same so figured it might as well
go in to taxonomy so that the coaches can easily see how many players on their
team shoot left handed or weigh 150lbs. I can see all the terms printed out on
the bottom of the node and want exactly the same just formatted to show the
vocab name but not necessarily from the db i will probably hard code those.

Hometown: term name<br />
Favourite Movie: term
name<br />

Is this way to complicated to do? Should I
have just created fields for the template instead? I just wanted to use
freetagging so that the common data will pop up as they start to type new
entries and hopefully eliminate spelling errors.
What do you
think?

The first
question I have to ask (unless I misunderstand what you're saying) is why are
you using taxonomy terms for the fields of each item in your node type? That
seems like a good way to complicate your theming.
Hi I am trying to theme a new content type with contemplate but
having some issues with adding taxonomy terms.
I have a bio for some
players with:
Number
Height
Weight
Hometown
I created a
vocabulary for each of these items and then set them to free tagging to enter
the terms.
Now I would like to output the term of each vocabulary next
to the vocabulary name eg (Hometown: Term Name) but I'm a newbie to php and
even more of a newb to drupal development. Any help would be
great.
Thank you,
