Sorry....read the package again... :o

Great work.

Unfortunately, yes - for now. Read readme_rss.txt for this. For future releases I will hook in thread creation process, so this step would not be required. Tags would always be created for new threads - even if other modifications will create them.

No Problem because this will be fixed by this:

;)

BTW - i guess after implementing the default Stop-Wordlist from vBulletin for Tags the exclusion Option in the Mod is no longer necessary.

I have some duplicate tags after auto tagging existing thread.

For an example you can see this thread.

Two thumbs up on the auto tagging existing thread functionality. :)

-Raymond

Are all these tags done via auto tagging? Is this the single thread with duplicate tags?

After doing some more clicking around it looks like if I had existing manual tags, the auto tagger will add a duplicate tag for the matching tags that it finds in the subject. Can the auto tagger ignore words that are existing tags for the thread?

-Raymond

It is already ignoring existing words, that's why I'm a little bit confused. Cannot reproduce this here with existing tags. I will try to do a fix.

Taking a wild educated guess, but does it have to do case sensitivity? The tag display lowercases everything, even if you enter them first or all letters capital. How does it look in the tag database? Is there a "lowercase" and a "Lowercase" causing the appearance of duplicates?

-Raymond

Maybe. Now I will do an strtolower before I do an array_unique. v1.0.1 will be released in few minutes.

Automatic Thread Tagger 1.0.1 has been released.

Changes:
1.0.1, 17th July 2008
- Added: Automatic Tags via maintenance are now associated with the UserID that created the Thread. Just remove auto tags and re-run auto tag to associate all tags to the users. Usefull if you use vBExperience and want to reward users.
- Added: Additionally to the configuration of the auto tagger the vBulletin tags badwords are also taken as blacklist
- Added: Workaround for vBulletin 3.7.0 for non existing function "split_tag_list"
- Added: New setting to filter out dates like 01/02/2008, 05/06/08, 01.02.2008
- Changed: Location of settings, moved below Tagging Options. The new name of the setting group is "Tagging Options (Automatic Thread Tagger)"
- Changed: Behaviour of auto tagging: It is not deleting old tags anymore, please delete old tags before this.

Upgrade:
1. Upload the functions_autotagger.php to your includes folder (the same directory as your config.php)
2. Import "product-auto_thread_tagger101.xml" as a product, overwrite if it's already installed

Does adding a minimum letters in word for auto tagging makes sense?

This way admins can specify "Don't include worlds with less than 5 letters" ?

I did the delete tags, add tags under the update counters and still seem to have some duplicates, but they are different ones now.

I'll poke around and see if I can track down why.

-Raymond

Yes, auto tagging is obeying such limits.

@duplicates
Thanks in advance.

Works great now! :)

Thanks for the update. :D

Yearning awaited modification! Thank you so much for this ingenious tool. Works like a charm! :)

Can someone give me a Hint for a additional Rule to tag Domainnames allways correctly?

Example: bluewin.ch or aol.com should tagged as bluewin.ch and aol.com and not bluewinch and aolcom

Okay... because of some server problem I wasn't able to try the mod out. It's working fantastic! Thanks Phalynx - you've done a fantastic job with this one!

Yeah it just keeps on getting better. thanks again.

I think I see the remaining part of the duplicates problem.

There are leading spaces in front of some the tags.

For example "tag" and " tag".

-Raymond

Is there a way to build phrases? "new york" instead of "new" and "york". I don't care if it's not perfect, just looking to teach it some common ones for my site.

-Raymond

Excellent mod! Really love it. Thanks!

Wish list:

1) Remember the last thread # tagged and start from there ("resume mode") just tagging new threads rather than having to start over from scratch (which takes a very long time with 100,000+ threads) each time the mod is run.

2) Then, being able run the mod either by vb's scheduler or the server's cron (daily would be fine for me)

3) Would like to be able to ban tags with non-alphabetical characters unless they are in the vbulletin "Thread tag allowed list."

Thanks again. -- Rik

Would somebody -- anybody! -- please tell me whether this mod improves search engine rankings. Thank you.

It gives you more pages, but it may take awhile to get saturation unless the php is rewritten to html. The best way to get Google to visit the pages without rewriting or waiting is to add adsense in your navbar. That way, adsense bot will look at each page and theoretically, you'll get a tad quicker results.

Thank you for that very informative answer.

Only if you remove the filter '.'=>''

Thanks, I'll take a deeper look. If thats it, I will include the fix in the next version.

Use "Composite Tags".

Great ideas, will try to implement them in next version.

hi phalynx

thanks for the plugin. a real classic.
works like charm!

my only question is,
i've got 213156 threads to tag.

i ran maintenence and the thing is, it freezes at random numbers of posts. sometimes 1640 sometimes 12XXX posts. i've set the minium number of post tagging to 99999999999999 as well.

i also tried turning the board off but it still happens.

i understand that this could be a server issue too

but anyone out there with the same problem, please tell me what to do to get all posts tagged?

thanks!
Tom

So remove this : '-'=>'' to allow the use of this: -?

Yes

Exclude Search Words?
Is it best to set to yes or no? Little confused on this one?

I had an issue, not sure what if anything can be done.

Had the default vbulletin max tags by thread starter at 5, and user at 2.

When the auto tagger ran on long thread titles by Registerd Users, it tried to insert 10,15 words, etc.

They kept getting "thread tags were exceeded by X amount" error messages.

Pissing people off, because they don't even know its happening, or what to do to fix it.

Any way we can get a work around saying "if auto-tagger, allow unlimited tags -> else use tagging default"

My temp work around is allowing a super-high amount of tags for thread starter.

Second issue, Registered users can't post This for instance:

Thank you, Everyone.

It returns the error message:

The following errors occurred with your submission:
Tags cannot be overly common words (you).

How do I stop this from happening?

This is why I mentioned the character limit ;)

ooops i forgot to click "mark as installed"

so, did anyone experience the same thing on larger forums?

Thanks for this!

Everything works fine for me except one thing.
I ran "Delete Auto Tags" maintenance option, then "Auto Tag Threads" maintenance option and when I went to check tags, I found I have duplicated tags in a single thread.
Is there a way to fix this?

Thanks

Hi,

1. I want to rebuild tag clouds for title of all old threads.

2. Problem in Tag RSS Feeds : The product is working properly, but when the pressure on any word appear the following message ( Invalid {1} specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator ).

Best Regards,

Bug?:

If i enter a Tag "wunsch" it makes it to "wünsch".

Using German-"Du"-Version of vBulletin.

installed thaks:)

I actually had to disable the system due to this, it was causing half my members to not be able to post unless they manually added tags. I love the idea/system otherwise, so if someone could let me know what I am doing wrong setting wise, or address it via a fix, that would be great.

Thanks!

"Mark as Installed" is given after installing the product. Same with Support. But I haven't installed your mod yet. My previous post is not asking for 'support', its a pre-install question.
If i find your mod useful then i'll hit that link and i'll even nominate it for MOTM like i did in my other mod installs. It would only took me 1 second to click those links anyway.
