Expanding Taxa/Taxonomy Through Adding Attributes

Hello,

 I am wondering if its possible to expand the function of taxonomies by adding new attributes to the taxonomy for widgets to access. I am trying to find a method of adding a value number to every taxa item in a taxonomy, so that when I create a new taxa, I have the option to input its Title, Parent Taxa, and Value Number.

Best,

John

Totally!  Just tried this myself just now

 Follow this: www.sitefinity.com/.../custom-page-attributes

 So instead of drilling down to pages, drill to the taxonomy you want attributes on.  Then you can pick any XFieldDefinitionElement in the list.  Like adding an image to a taxon editable in the UI is like a couple clicks...SICK

Steve to the rescue! Thank you. I was reading that article and didn't do this step:

"In the DataFieldName textbox, enter the name of the persistent field where you want to store the value of the attribute. This name must be prefixed with Attributes. This is a convention Sitefinity uses to distinguish custom page attributes from the rest. If you want your field to be named DemoField, then enter Attributes.DemoField."
