What's the best way to create a list of items and apply them to blog posts?

I already tried this method and it didn't work:
https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/migx/migx.tutorials/migx.create-selectable-and-sortable-attributes-list-for-whatever-you-need-it

I got this error when trying to add something "There seems to be an error in the formtabs-config".

If this isn't the right way, please advise. I want to add a list of categories that I can use for blog posts and events. These will be listed with the loop item. Lists that use software names for example (i.e. Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign...). Then I'd I'll add these to a filter above the results too. But mainly, I want to have this list available from the post's page (probably as a TV).

Any thoughts?

Thanks

Sounds like a job for taglister. I use it for news and real estate websites to permit cross-category filtering and a tag-cloud. You'll need getResources to do the looping. I can offer examples if you require.

Thanks, that's a good idea!

I'll give it a shot tonight. I use PDO tools for most of my stuff, we'll see how that goes.
