Requiring tags and tag selection

[GHC Webmaster]

Hello,

Would anyone be willing and able to helo me out with the following.

1. I need a way to require tags when people are posting a new thread.
2. If possible I would like them to be able to select one or more tags from a predefined list, using checkboxes or a multiple selection list.

The first is the more important one, as the second can be simulated by disallowing the creation of new tags and creating a list of predefined tags as an admin. But both would be preferable.

A plugin would be nice, but if it requires direct source code modification, I'm not scared of that either. As long as I know what to do (which I don't at the moment, I'm no php programmer myself).

It'll probably be for vB 3.8

I know about Zoints Thread Tags, which has a require tag options, but I doubt that works in combination with the 'can create new tags' permission of the default tag system. Plus I prefer working with the default system as much of posssible.

I tried Zoints Thread Tags in combination with Pre-Defined Topic Tags for Zoints Thread Tags, but that does not seem to work with 3.8, plus it doesn't show which tags have been selected.

Thanks for any help.

Regards,

Walrick
