Allow Any 2 Vocabularies to be able to form a vertical tab

Is the vocabulary section actually a fieldset when all tags? Doubt it

  // if tag, structured like that
  $form['taxonomy']['tags'][$vocabulary->vid] = array('#type' => 'textfield',
  
  // if other, structured like this
  $form['taxonomy'][$vocabulary->vid] = taxonomy_form($vocabulary->vid, array_keys($default_terms), filter_xss_admin($vocabulary->help));

  // this is how taxonomy figured out it needs a fieldset
      if (count($form['taxonomy']) > 1) {

so no matter how many tags, that'd all be under 'tags', aka counting as one. adding the mutli select brings up count($form.. ) to 2, ie making it a fieldset. Vertical tabs works on fieldsets.

hook_form_alter $form['taxonomy'] into a fieldset and it should work :).

Or if the site doesn't have much content, you could try out content_taxonomy (taxonomy cck field) and fieldgroups.

Confirmed, same behavior for tags only, no fieldset, no vertical tabs.

Hm, being that it's not vertical tabs fault, as vertical tabs works as designed, and it doesn't seem like something vertical tabs should be changing?, marking it as fixed support request. Of course, re-open if ya disagree.

Yep, you got the same behavior for taxonomy fields in D7 before they were converted to entities.

If you have multiple tag vocabularies, taxonomy.module puts them in $form['taxonomy']['tags'][vid]. All other vocabularies go into $form['taxonomy'][vid]. So if you have two tag vocabularies, count($form['taxonomy']) is not > 1.

is there any reason why we can't be a little flexible
and allow any two vocabularies (TAG or NOTAG) to be in a vertical tab ?

I am running in a situation where I have 6 TAG vocabularies that can't get in their own vertical tab and clutter the interface

of course there is workarounds like taxonomy_role or taxonomy_defaults and creating one extra NONTAG vocabulary that users can't access or can't see (respeectively) but ... why is't vertical tabs provide such functionality ?

It's controlled by core. It shouldn't be vertical tabs job to 'fix' core. Just convert fieldsets.

The Content Taxonomy module should be a viable workaround if you don't mind adding an extra CCK field and db table. You just need to to put the corresponding taxonomy CCK field in a group for it to appear as a fieldset.

Another workaround would be http://drupal.org/project/content_taxonomy_term_list
but I still would prefer this feature from vertical tabs since the workarounds have their limitations

Hi all,

Is there any coding fix for this isuue, I just try with the hook_form_alter to change the taxonomy to a fielset:

$form['taxonomy'] = array(
        '#type' => 'fieldset',

        '#title' => t('Category'),
        '#collapsible' => 1,
        '#collapsed' => 1,
      );

It does convert the taxonomy into a vertical tab but the category selector disapears, not sure why. I compared my form array with one that already has the vertical working and it is the same but the vocabulary content is not rendered.

Any ideas?

Thank you

I found it you should make a custom module and in a hook_form_alter put

$form['taxonomy'] += array(
          '#type' => 'fieldset',
          '#title' => t('Vocabularies'),
          '#collapsible' => TRUE,
          '#collapsed' => FALSE,
        );
