hi everyone, like to meet you all,

i just upgrade to smf version 2.12. it is more function. simple, pretty and easy to use!

it is a awesome forum, however i am foolish, i just would like to add #tag function at the forum, hence it can easy to tag and search for more deeply topic one by one!

for example, #space engineering, #mars, #astronaut, then users can find topic or threads for more deeply layer for the topic discussion.

do any simple tools at smf forum to do this, only #tag function popular at website is also okay, i do not how to insert and power on the mod package at smf forum, hope to teach me if you are conveneiece...

I found only a tag mod compatible with 2.1.x.

https://custom.simplemachines.org/index.php?mod=2936

There were a couple of more mods, but they were compatible with Smf 2.0.x only.

I will move this to the Mod Request board to bring it to the attention of the mod developers and hopefully someone will pick it up and code it for you.

Unfortunately that mod only displays information about topics, etcs... While it says (tags) I think the author meant that as a description as I see no option for tagging within the mod (nor even a compatibility with a tagging mod ... which would ultimately be a nice upgrade for this mod if/when a tagging mod gets created for 2.1).

The 2.0 tagging mods left a lot to be desired... but they did work.  It would be nice to have a fully fleshed out tagging mod for 2.1...

Ability to tag a post or response.
Top x list of tags from info center.
Full moderation.
Allow single tags and/or multiple tags based on permissions.
Setting for max number of tags (maybe also permission based) per post/response.
Alerts sent for posts/responses tagged.
Etc...

thanks for both of you :)


i means hashtag, i am missing the hash at the front, just like ig or twitter, have hashtag to find related topic, it is convenience when using forum.

It's basically a request for Twitter style hashtags (or perhaps Facebook style) inside post content, something we don't have.

I've thought about it over the years but I've never been convinced of the value of it; when you're Twitter scale and you can use it for widespread trending, sure, or finding content that's related to yours, sure, this makes sense.

But an individual forum is considerably smaller, and I'm not sure the implementation effort (it's very doable, it just requires *some* work) would give you the benefits.

Identifying the tags and storing a record of 'this post was tagged this' is not *especially* difficult as long as you're doing it Twitter style and not caring about spaces in them (it gets much harder if you care about the spaces too, because you don't know when you've reached the end of a tag or not unless you have other implied rules like 'all tags must be on one line, and everything on that line is a tag')

Doing anything *cool* with it... showing what tags there are is a minefield, but at least 'the posts with this tag are...' isn't so hard. Trying to do trending with the small volume of data on a forum would be a nightmare though.

this version is awesome, for version 2.1.2, it is pretty and tiny, i wanna to make some buttons on the top as this official site.

since forum have different type of use, such as ebook forum, comic forum, tv forum as well, if smf have variety of enhance function, focus on variety of usage, it is better and awesome.

most sns have hashtag on it, twitter, ig, fb, youtube, and so on, if smf forum do not have it, users cannot tag any topic as message on forum.
