Tagging System For Topics

[studiowi33]

How do I add capital letters? All my tags are in lower case and I'm too dumb to try to fix it myself.

Any help in this matter is appreciated.

Here is what I have noticed about capitol letters and punctuation.

• If you FIRST CREATE the tag WHEN YOU CREATE THE POST or in a REPLY, the capitalization and punctuation will be entered just like you want.
• The ORIGINAL capitalization will now PERSIST even if you add tags with different capitalization.
• If you first create the tag in the [Add Tag] thing at the bottom of the thread, then it will IGNORE CAPITALIZATION and that will persist for any new entries of that tag.
• Apostrophes ' like in O'Malley or Sarah's Socks will DIE HORRIBLE DEATHS if you add the tag in the topic view. [Add Tag]  Even if they were originally entered correctly in the Post View, they will still die if you try to add it in the topic view.

If you want to change a tag to capital letters you have to go find all the lowercase tags, delete them all, and create a NEW tag with the proper capitals in the Post View.

The mod is built to make everything lowercase to avoid duplicate tags for the same word.

The data isn't escaped prior to going in the database.


Workaround: Escape  it yourself. Thus, an apostrophe shooed get a backslash prepended to it, like this: \'

What do you mean, Live627?

I could enter Sarah\'s Socks and it'd go in right? Or what?

[studiowi33]

U guys are AWEsome!

Thanks mabley, vbgamer, and live627.
Much better tags.

Yes. And it would appear correctly, too. Sarah\'s socks => Sarah's socks.

But (with my forum) this only works with tags entered in the Tags box directly under the Title of a POST or REPLY. It doesn't work with the [Add Tag] thing at the bottom of a thread.

vbgamer45, is there an ETA for the next bug fix release?

[vbgamer45]

Just had this installed today..awesome mod!!!!  Since I run Simple Portal, I am having my tags show up in a block that I created, so.....can I remove the menu button that the mod automatically installs without messing anything up?  I don't need it now.  Thanks!

Do you mind sharing your block code, I might use it if thats ok.

[Guillelmus]

I would like to enable users to select tags from a list. Any tips on how to do this?

You may test this


In Post.template.php replace the portion "// Tagging system Mod" to "//End Tagging system mod" with the following

Code Select Expand

// Tags mod with cloud

if(!isset($context['num_replies']))
{
echo '

<dt>
<b>', $txt['smftags_topic'], '</b>
</dt>
<dd>
<input type="text" name="tags"', ' tabindex="', $context['tabindex']++, '" size="80" maxlength="80" />
<br /><span class="smalltext">', $txt['smftags_seperate'], '</span>
</dd>

<script language="JavaScript" type="text/JavaScript">

function AddItem(ItemId)
{
document.postmodify.tags.value = document.postmodify.tags.value + ItemId + \',\';
}

</script>';


require_once('Tags2.php');
ViewTags();
  foreach ($context['alltags'] as $key => $value) echo '<a href="#" onclick="AddItem(\''.$key.'\')">'.$key.'</a> ';

}


//End Tagging system mod


In Tags2.php add this to somewhere

Code Select Expand


$context['alltags'] = $tags;

for example after the text // loop through our tag array

BUG REPORT:

In Post.template.php
      if(!isset($context['num_replies']))
should be replaced with
      if(!isset($context['previous_posts']))


-> Show tags only when posting a new message. Currently shows also when replying, but this makes no sense.

I don't own the code...got it from the Simple Portal website, but it works perfectly:

       // here we loop through the results and put them into a simple array:
       // $tag['thing1'] = 12;

       $tags2 = array();

Do you mind sharing your block code, I might use it if thats ok.

I don't own the code...got it from the Simple Portal website, but it works perfectly:

More simply put:

Code Select Expand

global $sourcedir, $txt, $context, $scripturl;
require_once($sourcedir . '/Tags2.php');
ViewTags();
if (isset($context['poptags'])) echo $context['poptags'];

Don't you wanna make a Tagging System For POSTS mod too? It would be just wonderful, if I click on a tag, and then see all of the posts (date sorted and) tagged with that tag

I have a problem with this mod.

I installed it and it showed me after I wanted to reply to a topic:

Template Parse Error!

There was a problem loading the /Themes/default/Post.template.php template or language file. Please check the syntax and try again - remember, single quotes (') often have to be escaped with a slash (\). To see more specific error information from PHP, try accessing the file directly.

You may want to try to refresh this page or use the default theme.

What can I do to fix this error? I already deleted the mod but nothing has changed.
