Tagging System For Topics

[goldenboy48]

Released Tagging System 1.0.4 with eldʌkaː fix for pretty urls.

Hi,
I'm still facing this problem of "No Topic Selected" I have the latest Pretty URLs Mod installed. I downloaded the latest version from SMF Mod Site but the error continues to show up.

Please help. Thanks.

Bump.

hi.. i get this error when adding some utf-8 charachters.

Illegal mix of collations (latin1_swedish_ci,IMPLICIT) and (utf8_general_ci,COERCIBLE) for operation '='
file: /*****/Sources/Tags.php
Line: 274

MY database is mosty in utf8 but the tag is in latin1_swedish_ci . Do i need to covert the table in utf8 and how do i do that?

[127.0.0.1]

I am trying to figure out how to add/remove tags in the display.template via javascript so a new page isn't loaded for each action. Similar to how it is done in Flickr.

[127.0.0.1]

Something like this via AJAX.

In the display.template.php, the view of tags associated with the topic:



After clicking [Add a tag] a textbox form appears to enter a new tag:



After clicking OK the tag is added and it appears on the list along with another [Add a tag] link so the process can be repeated if desired:



Also, clicking the "x" deletes and clears the tag from the list, all done via AJAX so the process is less laborious.

However, I don't know AJAX. If anyone likes this idea and wants to implement it; would you mind sharing the code and could you make it compatible for SMF 1.1.1 (which is what I am on).

[vbgamer45]

That would be cool would need to look into that.

[127.0.0.1]

Indeed. I have no patience so I am trying to figure it out for myself.

Any time frame as to when you think you'd include that feature if it is possible?

[goldenboy48]

Please make it compatible with latest pretty urls mod, if you have time.

Thanks.

Thanks a lot for this mod. Very useful.

Any way to consider tags the same even if written in different UPPER/lower letters?

Thanks

I installed this mod on 1.1.5... the testing phase seemed to be fine.

After I apply the mod, I can see the tags field in Start New topic... (it tells me "Seperate each tag by a comma"... see attached) but I don't notice the tagging system anywhere else in my forum.

I thought I was using the default theme. Should I do manual edits to the theme files?

NM: found out I was on a copy of the default theme. switched to default and it's working now.

Can anyone tell me why I've got two different tags for the same word? ('hong kong')

One has two tags, the other has one.

How do I combine their items?

Does anyone know how to combine threads with "duplicate tags"?

Hello!

I was just wondering if this mod could also be applied to SMF 2.0? How?

Other seems to have space before word it's " hong kong". Changing it will probably fix it.

Thanks, you were right

I "accidentally" added an extra space when listing them out, but this is the usual practice correct?

tag1, tag2, tag3

and not

tag1,tag2,tag3

Can we edit the code so that it will strip all spaces immediately after the comma and before the first letter of the next tag?  I noticed another moderator has added tags, and they too have a white space before each tag.

This should work

Sources/Post.php

find

Code Select Expand


$tagcount = 0;
foreach($tags as $tag)
{


Replace with

Code Select Expand


$tagcount = 0;
foreach($tags as $tag)
{
$tag = trim($tag);


trim is function which removes white-space characters (sucha as space).

[kai920]

Thanks Niko.

Any other word conversions we should make. Would TAG be the same as tag? If different , perhaps we should do a strtolower? (as suggested here)

[Kimmie]

This issue has been discussed in past postings in this topic...please note it would be appreciated if people would read the whole topic as often they'll find the answers to their questions have already been asked and answered...this mod doesn't, as you have realised, delete tags when a topic is deleted...should you wish to delete the tags you would have to edit them from your database.

care to elaborate on how exactly this is to be done (as it would come in handy since this poses both a problem for members who would be looking for the posts attached to that tag and an irritation for admins who would then have to explain on a constant basis as to why they cannot find the posts)?

thanks
