Hi All

So i think i have worked out the first part, as i have created some Extra Fields Group's and added the fields to these.

Now i have done a quick bit i shiteboarding and noticed that some fields could be shared between groups and i am lothed to duplicate fields into more then one of the Extra field groups, but i cannot select mor ethen one group in teh "Associated "Extra Fields Group"" option in the edit category. is this possible?

Ww

Using the same extra field in different groups may be ok and may work (i havent tested it) but, it may affect the order the xtra fields show up in the front end and that could be more difficult to overcome because of the way item.php loops thru the xtra fields when displaying them.
