We are indeed looking into implementing such functionality :)

I would like a simple admin option to click to enable the font size to grow in relation to the number of tags, and another to turn this off and just display them all the same. It would be easiest to give this as an option in the standard admin for this hack

i am getting lots of these emails with this in them:

like a few hundered per day - does he tag program cause this?

Love all of the additions DChapman, but I have a problem...

I've got 25,000+ existing threads and I don't think I can expect all of the thread owners to go back through them and tag them up.

If I open up the tagging of threads so that all registered users can do it, then they could remove tags that others had set.

You know what I'm going to ask for right? ;)

Could you add in the next major revision the ability to allow all registered users to tag any thread.

Now, I know what you're thinking... it's not really set up for this, and it would be really messy. But it doesn't have to be.

If you created another table that stored the userid, threadid and a single tag, you could easily store user level tags per thread. Then, every time they get updated you could select the distinct tags per thread and update the existing table with the top 5 tags to display.

When a thread was created it would insert into the new table as well as the old.

And searches would of course go against the new table, with a join to the old.

Aren't I lovely? Look, I thought about it, and now I've gone and given you a great feature to add :) (Yeah, I'm a pain in the arse and really should code it myself ;))

Why don't you use "Automatically Tag Old Threads" ?

This is exactly for the situation you are in ;)

Refine your filter list if you want to get better results

I did that :)

But an example would be a thread entitled:
"Lambchop playing at the Barbican! OMFG!!! Ponies!!"

Really I want that tagged as 'gig', 'tour' as well as 'lambchop' and ideally not 'ponies'.

People are good at classifying, they like it because it helps improve their lives as they find stuff easier for such little investment. So all I'm saying is that for forums with legacy content (who here doesn't have old threads?) that people doing the tagging will be far better than code doing the tagging. And for people being able to tag historical stuff when events change, that's even better.

BTW, Anyone who chooses to do the manual template edits (as I did*) and who has found that the navbar adjustments do not show... I found it easier to change the body of the "Zoints Thread Tags (automatic template edits)" plugin rather than disable it.

I changed it to:

* The reason I did is that I'm using another hack to compress whitespace, and this prevents the pattern matching in the zoints plugin from finding the places to perform substitutions. So if you're using the compress templates hack, you'll need to manually insert the replacements.

Oh, and the forumdisplay-esque results page should be showing unread and read threads with the same consistency as the rest of the forum.


Although I'm pointing out lots of things, I should state that I *love* this hack. Just want it to be even better :)

Since the update my "Tags" Link in my navbar is gone.
I have a clean navbar template.

All changes on my templates are done by the Template Modification System on the fly.

So it should work.

Anyone using vbseo in conjunction with this hack, if you want to get all of your URL's seo'd when they are displayed, then the way to do this is to modify the type of URL.

In the templates threadbit and threadbit_pagelink you need to change all URL's that are to showthread.php and member.php to absolute and not relative.

So in my case as my forums are located here http://www.bowlie.com/forum/ the absolute url to showthread.php is /forum/showthread.php.

Adjust your URL's accordingly and VBSEO will recognise that these are local URL's the need to be seo'd.
