Click the tags to see the search in action. If your board is indexed already then you can also restrict search so it will only show results from your board. See an example of site specific tag search here..

However, even better than this, you can also include multiple specific boards in the tag search allowing you to create 'tag rings' to trade traffic with other boards or just circulate traffic between your own boards if you have several. For example..

Boards can be just as "web2.0" as blogs..

This is good idea!!

Could you do this as to say like make them "predefined" with a dropping down list so its like categorize and under categorize them?

so it would be easier to make a search of those categorized items later for other users of that categorized tags that also is match exactly with the same drop down list depending of what they are searching. Maybe the AJAX mod here can help?

And if you could include them into a flexible ACP function to make them predefinated to make a flexible input of those different categorizes it would be a hit....

This could be used for a better user profiling too....
This will also lead to that you in your profile could make tags of different categorized interests.... that should also be managed by the ACP and flexible to be predefined. Those different categorized interests that you set up for the users they could subscribe too and thick if they are interested to activate. That will map to the tags that you are talking about then. When someone write about something that you have ticket/make subscription to then you will have a flag coming up at our board and you can go to that event/message.

Like today but you got an email instead or you can have both. Well I have many ideas about how this can be done.

But key is mapping the content categorizing with the personalization(register process info) structure that connect you better to the interests that you have subscribe to.

I see that phpBB have very poor search capabilities for searching for community users and also specific content(s) in a smart way.... maybe there are some hacks for this but I have not seen anyone yet

Cheers!

I suppose you could easily hardcode tag selections on the template if you want that or perhaps use ajax, haven't seen the ajax mod so dunno what it does but maybe it could be used.

You could also modify it to use our full text search which is categorized already, just change the search link to whatever you want.

Multi-board tag search is now available so now you can create 'tag rings' and trade traffic between any group of boards you choose. I've updated the orginal post with details..

BoardTracker, well. good job.
can you please post second part of this mod (currently linked to BT)?

we have a phpbb installed on localhost without internet access, so it's useless without those parts. i assume there's one more search mode for topic_tags table only and mod_rewrite code, but i'm curious to see your technique.

thanks in advance.

Hi great work I just wonder if this could be integrated with the Ajax mode to use the kind of drop down functionality when its gets a lot of tags....

This mod is designed to only use the search system on boardtracker thereby removing that additional load and complexity an internal tag search system would require.. for a board not on the internet though its not much use..

I suppose it could, I haven't tried that ajax mod yet though so couldn't say for sure.. will check it out though.

The tagging mod itself is now available in the mods database here..
