Old Post:
Unfortunately I find myself in a position where continued development of this modification is not possible. So as of today (29/05/08) this project is terminated. If you are a coder feel free to take this project on and take it from beta to gold.

You will be please to learn that this modification has been taken over by Phalynx.

Automatic Thread Tagger v1.0
Beta 3

THIS IS A BETA MODIFICATION
Please read the entire post before diving in

If you report a bug please post the thread title that created it, without this I cannot test it and improve the language parsers

When a user submits a new thread this product will automatically take keywords from the thread title and use these as tags.

As an example, if a user submits a thread with a title of:

Fish Food for Cats

The thread will be automatically tagged with:


Fish
Food
Cats


If the user also submits an actual tag of "Fish" this will not be duplicated. Additionally this product hooks in before vBulletin processes tags so any rules you have setup for this will be respected. It also checks if you have tagging enabled, if not the product does nothing.

If you choose to do so this product will also automatically tag threads created by incoming RSS feeds.

And if all that wasn't enough there is a whole load of different configuration options.

Installation

If you have a previous beta version of this modification install this MUST be uninstalled before proceed to install this version


Download the modification zip file to your local machine and extract the contents.
Upload the functions_autotagger.php to your includes folder (the same directory as your config.php)
Goto "ACP -> Plugins & Products -> Manage Products".
Click "Add/Import Product".
In the "Import Product" section, click the browse button and select the downloaded XML file (product-auto_thread_tagger.xml).
Click "Import"


After install, and by default the modification is disabled, this will allow you to play around with configuration before switching it on.

Configuration
Configuration for this product can be accessed via:

ACP -> vBulletin Options -> Automatic Thread Tagger

Each configuration entry has a description against it, so I won't rehash it all here. However the following configuration items are worth mentioning:

Disable Auto Tag if Tagged?

If this option is enabled and a user submits tags with their post then the title keywords will not be added.

Use Smart Quotes?

If this option is enabled (default) then the auto tagger will treat quoted terms as a single tag. For example if a user submits a title of:

This is a great technical website

The tags will be:


great
technical
website


However if they submit a title of:

This is a great "technical website"

The tags will be:


great
technical website


Filter / Replacement Characters

This is the heart of the modification, as we are dealing with human input it can be rather complicated for a machine to handle and parse meaningful keywords. This configuration area allows you to configure filter and replacements for incoming thread titles. For example, you might not want & in your tags, through the options here you can filter it out or replace it with and.

In addition to this you can also use filter/replacements to extend tags. So if you run a motorbike website you might want to extend the term "GSXR" to "Suzuki GSXR" or change it completly to "Fast Bike".

Filters/replacements do not change titles, they only effect the resulting auto tags.

This configuration area is pre-populated with a series of default rules, these rules are based on my experience during development and should cover most things. However as mentioned this is a beta modification and we are dealing with human input so with your help and input this list will be improved.

Composite Tags

With composite tags you can define a collection of words to use a single tags. So if for example you specify a composite tag of "brown dog", and the user submits a title of "I love my brown dog" the tags will be "love, brown dog" without this composite tag the tags would be "love, brown, dog"

RSS Feed Additional Tags

If you use this modification to tag RSS created threads, you can also specify additional tags to add for each RSS feed. So for example if you have a feed from BBC News, in addition to the title based tags, you could also tag each thread with "General News".

In summary the other configuration values allow you to:


Globally enable or disable the product (default is off).
Exclude forums by id
Exclude usergroups by id
Exclude user by id
Exclude words from the search words stop list (default is on). This excludes words like can, by, do, etc (open includes/searchwords.php for a full list). I would strongly recommend not disabling this, however you could and then use the following:
Define your own list of exclude words.
Exclude RSS feeds by feed ID.


Using this to tag RSS feeds

Unfortunately vBulletin does not include (that I can see) a hook that is called when an RSS thread is created. This means that it is not possible to hook into the code and perform auto tagging. All is not lost though, however it does require an edit to one of the default vBulletin files.

This is what you need to do:


Open includes/cron/rssposter.php
Find the following line:

$itemdata->set('ipaddress', '');

On a new line immediately after this paste in:

require_once(DIR . '/includes/functions_autotagger.php');
$autotags = GetAutoTags($itemdata->fetch_field('title'), "", true, $itemdata->fetch_field('forumid'), $feed['userid'], $item['rssfeedid']);
$itemdata->set('taglist', $autotags);

Save the file and place on you server.


Once this is done, and you have enabled RSS tagging in the configuration then RSS threads will be tagged.

I will find a solution to this as I really don't like the idea of having to edit files in this fashion. So if anybody can suggest a better way of doing this please speak up as it will mean I can get the solution out quicker.

Other Information

At the moment this product is most definitely in beta testing, once I and the people using it are happy with the product then I may consider releasing a hack that will tag all existing threads. Releasing this right now would probably cause more trouble than it is worth.


Parsing the thread text for tags is an extremely unlikely addition as this would require some fairly heavy processing to ensure quality of tags.

At the moment I am primarily concentrating on the parsing of human language and refining the filters/replacements. So adding Ajax support (i.e. auto populate the tag box as user enter words into the thread title box) is on the todo list however this won't happen until we are happy that the parsing system is as good as it can be.

One thing the product does not do which you may want to consider is change the "Separate tags using a comma." phrase used on the new thread post screen. You might want to consider changing this to something like "Separate tags using a comma, do not include words from your title". This depends on your personal preference and how you have the product configured.

Disclaimers
Obviously the input this product uses comes from human beings, therefore it is almost impossible to code for every single possible scenario. As such there is always a possibility that a specifically crafted submission may cause problems. I strongly suggest running this through some tests before committing to installing this on a live forum.

Ahh yes, one final thing - this is the first time I have created a product XML file, I have tested and install this and all seems fine - but it would be great if somebody in "the know" could cast an eye over it for obvious errors/issues.

Actually, one more one final thing, if you install it please click install :p

Hold on, one more one more one final thing, if you really like this mod then why not nominate it for MOTM ;)

If the mod proves to be popular and there is sufficient interest I will probably add support for partial exclusions in a similar way to how VB handles censor words.

For example "dog" would exclude "dog, dogma, diddlydog", and "{dog}" will only exclude "dog"

That other mod requires file edits, which means you'll have to reapply them for every upgrade. This one is an imported product with no file edits.

[Jase2]

This is a lot better than the other, no hacking yourself into the source code. :)

However, one question ;

What if a user submits tags, does this stop adding them automatically? Also, are there any extra queries ect. we should know about?

Great MOD. Would it be possible for tags associated with a deleted thread to remove themselves also?

I believe the default vBulletin software will do this.

please how i can active auto tags to rss forums which get threads automatic

Working on this, see comments at the end of this post

What if a user submits tags, does this stop adding them automatically? Also, are there any extra queries ect. we should know about?

See the following:

The product does of course add some additional processing when a user submits a thread but this primarily uses what VB already has in memory so the impact is fairly low. It does not add any additional SQL queries.

In response to a few questions posted so far:

1) At the moment it does not support posts created via incoming RSS feeds, however I do intend to add this feature and I am in fact working on this right now.

2) As mention in the opening posts the product will not "retro-tag" already existing posts, the reason for this is that at the moment this is in beta and retro-tagging 1000's of posts with the current version could feasibly create alot of problem. Once the rule sets are defined then I will release something that will auto tag all existing threads.

3) As reported by a few people there are a few issues with non alphanumeric characters in titles (thing like ( ) \ /). The next version will have a fairly complex replacement system built once released this will allow you to perform filtering and replacements. So for example:

'\'=>' and '

will replace all instances of '\' with ' and '

This can also be used to extend tags, so for example you can set the following rule:

'GSXR'=>'Suzuki GSXR'

So if a user submits a title of "GSXR Paintwork", the tags will be "Suzuki GSXR, Paintwork"

I imagine that this replacement system will need, with your feedback, considerable tweaking to make it as good as it can be when process human language input.

4) Under the default configuration if the user submits tags with their thread then keywords from the title are still calculated but it will not duplicate. So for example if a thread title of "Fish food for cats" and tags of "pets, fish" are submitted, the final tags will be "pets, fish, cats". However the if the "Disable Auto Tag if Tagged?" option is enabled then if a user submits tags then the auto tagger will not do anything.

I am working on all this at the moment once I will release it as soon as I am happy that the changes are as good as they can be with single user/site testing.

And finally, thanks for the support it makes putting this together worthwhile :D

[Jase2]

Thanks for explanation. Looking forward to a more 'stable' release. :)

[Newfarm]

This is really cool and, while not disrespecting the other guy's addon, a better piece of work to administer then 'the other' addon that does the same.

I'll echo my support from the other addons thread for something though;

AJAXifying it, making the 'tags' field autoupdate based on the title input. Make it just do the calculations and populate the 'tags' field when focus is removed from the 'title' field.

(Not being a coder enables me to use 'just' in all sorts of places, especially those where I know there'll be a lot of work to get it going :p.)

[MrEyes]

How Can I Delete, Deleted Thread's Tag ? :( :S

I have to admit that I do not know the specifics of how a the default VB code handles tag deletion on thread deletion and to some extent it is not relevant to this mod. However I believe it works like this:

When a tagged thread is submitted, and the tag has not been submitted before, the tags are s added to a master list of all tags (the tags table in your DB), the thread ID is then associated with the master tag via another DB table (tagthread). If the thread is then deleted the entry in tagthread is removed however the entry in the master table is left (just incase any other threads reference that tag). If you want to fully delete the tag you can do this via "ACP -> Threads & Posts -> Tags"

All this being said, this is assumption so it might be worth posting a question over at vb.com as this relates to default VB code.

[lisss001]

[Hostboard]

Pure and simple, a must have in my opinion.

Could you enhance the exclusion to also include the censored words and then option it like:

1. Use excluded words
2. Use VB's censored words
3. Use both

If not then maybe make the exluded words syntax the same as the stock censored words so it would be a simple cut and paste?

Thanx

Title: This is a "test post" for great111 11 justice!!?!!
Tags: great111, justice, post, test

Title: This is a 'test post' for great justice.
Tags: great, justice, post, test

Smart Tags is definitely enabled.

[abrecher]

It was really getting to me that my users were barely using the tagging feature in VB. This is the PERFECT solution. Much appreciated!

[Vtec44]

Is there an option to update all old threads. I know this can be intensive, especially on bigger forums, but I'm just throwing it out there.

BTW, great hack!

[budatalk]

Looks like a great mod! I also have a question, when you install it, does it automatically check all threads before installation and tags them? Or is there an option for that? (especially that there are a lot of threads since the 3.6.8 days that might need tagging)

[G3MM4]

It looks good, however, I think I'll hold off installing until old threads are taggable and until AJAX is implemented.

[redlabour]

Feature Request:

It was a Killerapplication if it has a routine to mark all old Threads with Tags.

[Stubbed]

It looks good, however, I think I'll hold off installing until old threads are taggable and until AJAX is implemented.

How would you implement AJAX into this?

Another special character bug:

Topic: petrol $2.09

[MrEyes]

After the update, "quote text" appears as two tags, rather than one?

Title: This is a "test post" for great111 11 justice!!?!!
Tags: great111, justice, post, test

Title: This is a 'test post' for great justice.
Tags: great, justice, post, test

Smart Tags is definitely enabled.

Issue fixed in new update to Beta 3. This was all to do with how slashes and escape characters were handled. One thing that it won't do though is remove "111" from "great111" unless you specify a filter like these:

'111'=>''
'1'=>'one'
'1'=>''

However this does have downsides as all instances of those strings would be replaced.

How would you implement AJAX into this?

Another special character bug:

Topic: petrol $2.09
Tags: petrol, \$2

Also fixed in the new beta 3. However you might want to remove the replacement/rule for the '.' characters as otherwise the tags will be '$209'. In the next release I will add support for only filter/replacing the end of strings. So "$2.09" is tag as that, but "Purple." is tagged as "purple".

At the moment I am primarily concentrating on the parsing of human language and refining the filters/replacements. So adding Ajax support is on the todo list however this won't happen until we are happy that the parsing system is as good as it can be.

...tag old threads...
Also just to reiterate one point mentioned in the first post:

When the modification goes gold I will release something that will tag all old threads. However until the code is as good as it can be it would be extremely dangerous and potentially destructive to release this now. At the end of the day I am sure you don't want 1000's of thread tagged with bad tags because of a bug or odd configuration setting.

[paramegsoft]

[Vtec44]

I'm not sure if anyone has brought this up, but it seems like the tags are not updated when the thread title is updated. :)

[FlyBoy73]

Admittedly, I quickly scanned over the posts in this thread and may have missed this, but I have a question.

Most forums have issues with people not always accurately titling their threads to reflect the content within. That being said, what happens with staff come back and edit the title? Will this mod go back and re-do the Tags based upon the new title? If not, that would be an excellent feature.

Thanks for your work!

[Vtec44]

My post right above you answered your question.

[KanmaiseR]

Nice work, thanks installed :)

[MrEyes]

The tags are only calculated on first submission, so if the title is then changed the tags are not updated.

[rapidphim]

Can you please add UTF-8 compatible for next release?

[Mesohu]

Can you please add UTF-8 compatible for next release?

UTF 8 compatible , it works fine with characters like ? or ? ...

but the only problem is when the title finish with a ? , ! , or " , example : hello?! . The final result in the tag area is : hello\\ ...

MrEyes : when you will fix the characters issue , i think that after that you can release a gold version of this mod.

[rapidphim]

it doesn't pick up vietnamese characters.

Tags on rss feeds problem. It adds the tags to feed posts but not to tags.php.
Apart from that it works well.
Top add on keep up the good work

[dfc005]

Loving the look of this mod.

What about thread prefixes?

Prefix: Eastern Conferance
Title: Pistons to win Game 4

I'd love the prefix to be tagged as "eastern conferance" rather than "eastern, conferance"

[MrNase]

Is there a chance to include a tool that tags all threads that are already in the database? :)

I don't want to go through XXXXXX threads to tag them manually. :(

[maxicep]

it has problem with " character

if ur topic title is like "CLEANER / Temizlikci 2008 - Eva Mendes ,Samuel L. Jackson / Super kalite"

than, tags are ;

cleaner or temizlikci 2008 eva mendes, samuel l jackson or super kalite

" character in replacement list but whats problem ?

Thx

I think this will happen after the beta stage if I remember right?

Why can't people read?

At the moment this product is most definitely in beta testing, once I and the people using it are happy with the product then I may consider releasing a hack that will tag all existing threads. Releasing this right now would probably cause more trouble than it is worth.

[NeverBored]

Very nice mod. I tested it out, and like reported above in a couple posts RSS posts got tagged, but if you clicked the tag it said invalid tag.

[SauravG]

Admittedly, I quickly scanned over the posts in this thread and may have missed this, but I have a question.

Most forums have issues with people not always accurately titling their threads to reflect the content within. That being said, what happens with staff come back and edit the title? Will this mod go back and re-do the Tags based upon the new title? If not, that would be an excellent feature.

Thanks for your work!

I just tested it and it doesn't re-do the tags.

But great modification! Installed.

Hello

How we can use this tag as Keywords for the thread ?

[Lee G]

I have another request for this. I have two add ons that automatically post threads in the forums and tags are not being added to these posts.

[Stubbed]

When people are making threads, every now and then they're getting:

"The number of tags you tried to add to this thread exceeded the maximum number of tags by 1."

Does that make any sense? I haven't been able to get it to do that, and I've since taken off the limit for tags on threads.

[nexialys]

i installed this hack 2 minutes ago... and deleted it right away after posting one thread...

this hack is completely useless as it is now... it use the words in the subject of the thread to create the tags... i don't know for you, but the keywords of a post are more importantly found inside the post itself, as the threads title is already keywords...

as a little tweak i gave the hack the capability to search thru the entire post to create the tags, but the filter used to create the tags is using about anything to filter the words so it is completely useless...

will have to code one myself... but it's good idea!

[jim6763nva]

I am also getting "Invalid Tag Specified..." on RSS posts. In addition to this, words with apostrophes in them like "Jim's" or "Robert's" get parse as Jim#39s or Robert#39s
Here is an example of the title along with a link to the post:

Kaine Sings Webb's Praises - RedOrbit (http://www.talkvirginia.net/forum/showthread.php?t=987)

[Alfa1]

The usefulness of tags is that they are not automated, but user selected.

[Lee G]

What a shame to let this one go. It showed a lot of promise and was one of the best add on's.

[tirol07]

thanks for update

[Bacteria1]

thanks for the update its verry nice mod (Y)

[masterross]

few bugs to check:


If there is DOTs check what happened

P.S.
I still suggest using AJAX to fill tags field

[Charlie98902]

Will one of our nice coders here be ever so kind to continue development on this mod? Sorry I just don't have the skill.

[redlabour]

What are you talking about? There was no Update today - only the Notification that this Hack will not longer be supported and developed. :rolleyes:

[lisss001]

It's a real shame, I really liked this mod. Anyway thanks for what you have given us all so far. I hope somebody will take this on, it would be a great loss.

If the title itself is a short summary of what the thread is about, then it's a good idea. Searching through the post is a great idea, but may not work as efficient especially in long posts (too many words to pick from).

Thanks Mr. Eyes for giving it a shot.

[webspider]

That is a shame, this was a really great hack.

MrEyes (or anyone else for that matter), any idea when we should anticipate a 'new' version of this mod?

Is the current version of it working with 3.7.1?

[Julrou]

Looks pretty good.
Thanks :)

* Julrou clicked install

Is the current version of it working with 3.7.1?

Yes it does.:up:

I will release a new version next week. It will contain support for AJAX and tagging of existing threads.

Thanks for the great AddOn.

tagging of existing threads.

Automated? This would be great.

Greetz from Germany

[Phalynx]

Yes, via maintenance. Also with the possibility to change settings, remove automatic added tags and run again. With that we should be able to track down problems faster.

[GreasySpoon]

This sounds good. Thats what i am waiting for a long time.

Gute Arbeit ;-)

As you can see Phalynx has well understand what i have asked for and it seems he has no Problem with my Question.

:rolleyes:

[Phalynx]

Please cool down - both. In normal case I'm not responding to questions related to release dates, but in this case my own timeline has passed. Please do me the favour and don't ask for status anymore.

If there is an update, I will inform you.

Yeah, yeah, yeah - vBExperience 3.7.15 is GOLD. Hopefully we get this ATT Release now soon. :)

@Phalynx - about the Feature to tag all old Threads.

Will you made it the Way that we can say how many Threads are worked in a row to prevent Serverproblems by to many Threads?

What about the Problems if there are Words in the Threaddescriptions that are to short? Will they be ignored then?

Hope you understand what i mean - sorry for my poor english. I am german. :(
