Hello,

With Favorite menu, all field's Labels displayed on first row of the table.
If user has favorite items from 2 different TYPEs then all field's LABELs are displayed on first row as well.

I need to display Favorite Items List same as MyItem List.
In MyItem menu, We can duplicate template and display items same as normal item list view.

No,

myitems (my items)
author
category
mcats (multiple categories)

-- are created via the category model
-- and then the category layout of templates is used, for the purpose rendering the item list

So ... implementing the use of category layout for FAVORITES and TAGS involves:

1. updating category model so that the SQL main query retrieves favorited or tagged items (easy-medium work)
2. updating SEF URL code, yes ... this is needed, remember we need NEW URLs that use the category view
3. update FAVORITES / TAGS menu items configuration to add category parameters
4. a global or menu parameter to select using OLD way: TABLE based layout or NEW WAY: CATEGORY Layout of a chosen template

I think to simplify things we should do this:

Rename the old menu items for FAVORITES/TAGS to

- Favorites (Fixed table layout)
- Tags (Fixed table layout)

And add 2 new menu items:
- Favorites (Template based layout)
- Tags (Template based layout)

This will gives us easier compatibility with existing installations AND MAKE the menu item smaller (less PARAMETER) AND AVOID Confusion !!!

i say less confusing because imagine having both the "old way" parameters and the "new way" parameters in the same menu item , it will surely cause confusion and TROUBLE ...


*******************************************
Also please wait for r1697 revision to test,
*******************************************
It adds the special MARKUP CSS classes into ATOMIC <span> tags

1. item categories (some of them maybe featured categories)
<span class="fc_itemcat_51"></span>

2. item access, no-access for current frontend user
<span class="fc_item_has_access"></span>
<span class="fc_item_no_access"></span>

(and maybe:)
<span class="fc_item_access_id_5"></span>
<span class="fc_type_access_id_11"></span>
<span class="fc_mcate_access_id_9"></span>


3. creation-interval that item was added:
<span class="fc_item_added_1d"></span>
<span class="fc_item_added_30d"></span>
<span class="fc_item_added_365d"></span>

(we said to add a parameter for it)

Regards
