First preview-release is up.

It implements the basic feature of adding tags to a topic and showing them in viewtopic. :D

Another preview release:
added a (rudimentary!) tag cloud (route: app.php/tags) and (rudimentary!) list of topics by tag(s) (route: app.php/tag/{tag} (note the missing s in "tag(s)"!). :lol:

Neat! I would suggest using CSS to style the list and make it look "pretty".

Alight,

another huge update! The tagscloud (/tags) and the show-tag(s) (/tag/{tags}/{mode}) are now styled. Additionally many bugs have been fixed - but still there is a bunch of work left.

Note: The 0.0.3-DEV - Release has been updated - same links=new code (see first post for links)!

What's the point of having the extension installed if it is just going to repeat the topic title? Also with your suggestion, topic titles such as "HHHEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP!!!!!!" and "PLEASE HELP ME URGENT!" would actually get tagged as such, making the tagging system useless in those cases. If you don't think this happens, browse the 3.0 Support Forum. :lol:

I would like to see a setting that makes tags optional or required (per forum, obviously). Otherwise, great extension.

@Meis2M

Hi,

thanks! :)
This feature is not planned, but you can easily implement it with another extension. I think you could just do it with JS when posting new topic /editing first post to translate the topic into the tags-input-field before they are submitted.

yes, I need this as well, and I plan to address that in future.
Currently I think that this might be part of another mod, and not the core tagging-system. I dont know yet.

BTW: If someone wants to help me with implementation, feel free to contact me via PN or github! Would love to have some helping hands, because I work 40h/week.. :-/

Hi
very good idea for auto tag. i cant do that yet. i like see some one do that with acp setting to enable or forum permission.

another question:
this tags add as keywords in:

Code: Select all

<meta name="keywords" content="" />

?
it is useful for seo.

Interesting extension. I looked into language files and there are some small issues making translating hard:

1. This line 'RH_TOPICTAGS_EXP' => 'Tags separated by comma (",")', is twice in file language/en/topictags.php

2. It's hard to translate these sentences:

Code: Select all

'RH_TOPICTAGS_SEARCH_HEADER'		=> 'Search for topics with %s of these tags: %s', // %s=any||all, %s=tags,
'RH_TOPICTAGS_NO_TOPICS_FOR_TAG'	=> 'There are no topics tagged with %s of these tags: %s', // %s=any||all, %s=tags,
into Czech language (and possibly into other languages as well). It is not possible to change only one word to make different sentence. It would be great if you could change it into something like this:

Code: Select all

'RH_TOPICTAGS_SEARCH_HEADER_ANY'		=> 'Search for topics with any of these tags: %s',
        'RH_TOPICTAGS_SEARCH_HEADER_ALL'		=> 'Search for topics with all of these tags: %s',
	'RH_TOPICTAGS_NO_TOPICS_FOR_TAG_ANY'	=> 'There are no topics tagged with any of these tags: %s',
	'RH_TOPICTAGS_NO_TOPICS_FOR_TAG_ALL'	=> 'There are no topics tagged with all of these tags: %s',
And then (I guess) those lines would be redundant:

Code: Select all

	'RH_TOPICTAGS_ANY'					=> 'any',
	'RH_TOPICTAGS_ALL'					=> 'all',
