[support] Theming help

[Jim Smith]

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.
 
http://drupal.org/project/textfield_autocomplete
 
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. 

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

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,
