Category / Tag GUI -- Assigning to content

  I've settled on this at least for now:
  
  My_fuel_layouts.php
  $tagOptions = $this->fuel->tags->options_list();
  
  and added to 'fields' this: 'tags' => array('type' => 'multi', 'sorting' => TRUE, 'mode' => 'checkbox', 'label' => 'Tags', 'options' => $tagOptions),
  
  It would be nice to pull all categories, and then look up what tags belong to each and print them off. And a final pull for tags that didn't belong to a category.

  Your current solution would be the way to implement it at this point. How are you using these tags and categories on your website?
  
  If you associate a category to a tag in the CMS, you will be able to access all the tags associated to that category:
  $categories = fuel_model('categories'); foreach($categories as $cat) { foreach($cat->tags as $tag) { echo $tag->name; } }

  The idea is that pages are tagged, and most tags will belong to a category.
  
  That will allow sorting / pages with particular tagged/categorized content

  I've managed to put together a display that works well:
  
  Outputs
  [Parent Cat. Name] -> [Category Name] -> [Tag Name]
  And uses the $tag->slug for the layout variable value
  
  $tagOptions = array(); $categories = fuel_model('categories'); foreach($categories as $cat) { if($cat->parent_id != 0){ $parent = $categories[$cat->parent_id -1]->name." -> "; } foreach($cat->tags as $tag) { $tagOptions[$tag->slug] = $parent.$cat->name.' -> '.$tag->name; } }
