Tagging System For Topics

[Dannii]

http://microformats.org/wiki/rel-tag
As part of the microformats movement, there is a proposed spec for rel="tag". It would be good if the default URLs used for this mod put the tag name itself in the query, so that if the microformat isn't directly supported, theme/site authors could do it themselves.

Hello,

I installed the tags mod, however, nothing no fields appear in my post.

I'm not sure what additional tweaking I need to do to my post, display and index files to make this work. (attached). 

Can anyone suggest what I need to do to integrate into my customized theme? (http://www.went2networks.com/smf)

(I tried to insert code I saw in this forum into my post.template file, but that didn't seem to change anything)

Any help would be appreciated!

thanks,
matt

hello    
it was thinking that serious interesting that this mod has the option to suggest tags of which already they have added in others post also of which it uses tags of technorati

[neilbombd]

I really love this mod, and thanks for making it.  However, I'd like to make some suggestions.

Firstly, and perhaps most importantly, it'd be great if you could remove someone's ability to make tags. 

Also I'd love to be able to make some censored tags.  So that I would define censored tags, and the tagging page would then reject them when someone tries to enter them. 

Would be nice to be able to have better tag administration too.  For instance, if there was an option for just the admin to be able to delete ALL instances of a tag on the main tag page, that would save a lot of time, and make it so much easier to look after.

I have it set so anyone can add and delete tags, but it would also be great if people could either add but not delete tags, or only delete their own (apart from the admin of course.)

[franklinrony]

a bug is when move a topic with tag in the tagcloud the tag no redirect to new position of topic

[Dannii]

Please use the proper QueryString.php validated $topic rather than $_REQUEST['topic'], so that URL rewriting mods will work.

Are you planning on doing much more with this? I'd be interested in taking over if you weren't.

[jen]

Great mod. I sincerely hope that it continues to be developed...

Cause I don't think it's necesary to show the users where the Tagging System starts and finish. By the way I did copy that piece of code right before

<a name="lastPost"></a>';

in the Display.Template.php file.

After when add this code I have two links Add Tag below post

hey vbgamer what do i add to make a tag cloud on the index page i tried a playing with the tag code but i keep geeting errors it keeps saying the function template main() is already being used thanks

[dsanchez]

When I add the same tags to different threads it seems to create duplicates in the tag cloud (instead of adding it to the existing tag)??

this happen when you let spaces between commas.

correct:

tag1,tag2,tag3

incorrect:

tag1, tag2, tag3

Does anyone knows how to correct this bug?

[glennk]

I get this.

Am running 1.1.3

The package you tried to upload either is not a valid package or has become corrupted.

Any help please ?

[TrueSatan]

Have you tried re-downloading the package...perhaps with a different browser?

[Morendo]

Has anyone been able to pull out the code needed to display the tag cloud in a block instead of having a separate page for it?

[Morendo]

I would like to see tags that are separated by a comma to become their own tag in the tag listing instead of a string of tags.  That would make this mod A+ and make it so you don't have to enter each tag you want individually.

[bathgate]

for the tag cloud you need tiny portal and then use this
http://www.tinyportal.net/index.php?topic=13744.10 [nofollow]

you can have it on every page of just on the tinyportal front page

[ragots]

Can I manually install this MOD on a forum running 1.1 RC 3 ?

[TrueSatan]

@ ragots

This mod is compatible with the following SMF versions:

1.1, 1.1.1, 1.1.2, 1.1.3

You would be best to upgrade from the old version of SMF you are using. You may, or may not (probably the latter), manage to get it to work on obsolete SMF versions but I very much doubt that you will be given any support for such an installation.

[ragots]

I'm running 1.1 RC3 and I have too many mods (39) installed and I'm worried about upgrading and loosing all  my MODS.

The tag system for posts is very much neeed and is the last mod I'd want to install.

Why wouldn't it work if install it manually ?

It really isn't a good idea to either use mods that don't, officially, support a particular version of SMF or to continue to use an obsolete version of SMF. As your version gets more and more out of date you will be at ever greater security risk due to patched problems in the current versions still being unfixed in the one you use and the lack of mods that will support such an old version.

I would suggest that given some of my forums have a great deal more mods than you appear to run and yet they are quite easy to keep up to date yours can be too.

I would further suggest that you do the following...I'll give you two possible ways to do it:

• Install a new (fresh install) test forum using SMF 1.1.3
• One by one install all the mods and themes you wish to continue to use into the test forum (using the latest versions of all products)
• When finished backup all the files from the test forum (not the database)
• Backup the files and database of your live/production forum
• Look at the directories in the SMF 1.1.3 package...with that as a guide you will be able to differentiate between those added by mods and the core ones (for instance Gallery or arcade mods make new directories)
• With the exceptions of Settings.php and Settings_bak.php in the forum root delete and replace all the old core files and directories in your live/production forum with those from the backup of your test forum
  

This will not affect your database at all and thus no postings will be lost...it will bring your forum up to date with SMF 1.1.3 and it is a rather easy process. If you do the backups there is no risk attached to it as you can always restore from backup. The mods and themes will also be up to date.

Alternatively you could forego the test forum and do the following:

• Backup your files and database
• Delete and replace the core files and directories with those from the SMF 1.1.3 package except for Settings.php and Settings.bak.php in your forum root...this should include your Packages directory and all sub directories.
• The above will have removed all your mods and themes so again you will need to install new ones using the latest versions.

Personally I much prefer the first method but either will bring you up to date.

I won't get into considerations of why mods that support current SMF versions might not support older versions...it's a futile thing to do. Code changes and improves over time and one should make sure that the code used is up to date. Neither method is difficult nor particularly time consuming.

Thanks, I would gladly pay someone to do the ugprade job for me.
Maybe you (some paypal money)

I'm too scared of messing my forum.
