Automatic tags

Description

With vBulletin tags you can either set to require tags be completed or not. However requiring tags to be completed can easily result in low-quality tags that don't provide SEO value to your forum. With that in mind the thread title often provides better keywords than the tags that the user is forced to enter.

What this modification does is:

When a thread is started, has the user filled in tags?
Yes: Then we do nothing.
No: Then take the thread title, and strip out all words that would be invalid tags and are in the stop words list and use the remaining words as tags.

Example

User enters:

Thread title = We like the social group email mod
Thread tags =

vBulletin records the new thread as:

Thread title = We like the social group email mod
Thread tags = email, group, social

Which isn't an entirely bad set of tags and is better than none, and better than the user typing in gibberish (IMHO).

Installing

Installation REQUIRES FILE MODIFICATION. If you are not happy doing this, don't install this mod.

In the file /includes/functions_newpost.php

Find (near line 409):

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['taglist'])
{

Replace that with:

PHP Code:


		
			
// HACK : START : AUTO TAG
//      if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['taglist'])
//      {
        if ($type == 'thread')
        {

                if (!$post['taglist']) {
                        $temptags = split(' ',$post['title']);
                        $newtags = array();
                        require(DIR . '/includes/searchwords.php');
                        foreach ($temptags as $tagtext) {
                                if (strlen($tagtext) <= 3 || in_array(strtolower($tagtext), $badwords)) {
                                        // Do nothing
                                } else {
                                        array_push($newtags,$tagtext);
                                }
                        }
                        $post['taglist'] = join(',',$newtags);
                }
// HACK : END : AUTO TAG

Uninstalling

Open the file /includes/functions_newpost.php

Find:

PHP Code:


		
			
// HACK : START : AUTO TAG

Delete everything up to:

PHP Code:


		
			
// HACK : END : AUTO TAG

Insert in that space:

PHP Code:


		
			
if ($type == 'thread' AND $post['taglist'])
{

Screenshots don't really make sense... read the description.

I accepted this modification but I took error;

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $end in C:\AppServ\www\vbulletin\includes\functions_newpos t.php on line 1730

Hi,
pretty good idea. Do you think it might be possible in the future to check against an own positive List?
I think I do have about 100 Tags with the Main Words that Guest are looking for.

The bit of code to be modified is around line 410.

Line 1730 is the very end of the file. It would suggest that there is a problem with the file that you have edited... check the code in the file that it ends with "?>".

I applied this hack to a file with no other modifications, and it does not create an error.

Actually... on the parse error... double check the number of brackets, the installation advice originally missed one, but it's now corrected.

I can?t do that, I do not have the knowledge. :( Only Ideas.
next Step than is to Change words.
If somebody is writing:

American Airlines
Lufthansa
Delta Airlines

Change it in:

Fligth

or that ever to meet our special Keywords.

PS: I will install but in the Moment I can?t use FTP from here.

Thanks ^_^
very good

It should work with arabic too if tags work with arabic. You can change the code to fit your needs if you feel it's not suited for you :)

Can I make it too in reply

That sentence doesn't really make sense to me.

Do you mean that you want to populate tags for a thread if there are no tags already and someone responds to the thread? If so, this may be possible.

Yeah, I like that idea too.

I'll have to check to see whether I know about the thread at this point and whether updating the post will affect the thread... it may not.

What's the possibility of making automatic tags for threads that already exist?

Zaiaku

05-19-2008 01:03 PM

This would really be good if it did it for older post too. Is there a way to make it add tags weither or not tags are added?

buro9

05-19-2008 01:13 PM

What are you looking for?
1) Incrementally fixing old threads by populating tags if those threads are replied to?
or
2) Generating tags for all threads that have none?

buro9

05-19-2008 01:14 PM

To be honest I don't think doing all non-tagged threads would be difficult... the code is already up there and I'd just have to iterate over all threads.

Yes, certainly ...

Zaiaku

Well the reason I would like it added to all threads with r without tags is just as discribe in the first post. It may use better tags then the ones already listed. Of course it would be a 1 time run since you don't want it to keep trying to add tags to all the threads over and over again.

Works like a charm!

Good work.

very great hack thanks :)

GlitterKill

05-19-2008 06:00 PM

I have to agree that adding a feature/option to have it go back and generate tags for old, untagged threads would be great!

maxicep

05-19-2008 06:24 PM

I seen some problems and i removed it for now.

Example:
forum, maxicep.com maxicepdsadasdasd, melodi, mobile, phone

U will get error that "need min 3 character in tags for open thread"

because tags are looking
forum, maxicep.com, maxicepdsadasdasd, me, lodi, mobile, phone

It has problem on some thread titles like which include "<" or ">" character also ","

Just try and see.

If i set to all limits to no limit on tag system options, than no problem but it isnt fine.

This reminds me of a good ol vb 2.0 hack :) Nice and simple too!

Installed!

Edit: Need to exclude non-word characters For example, see the tags on this thread:

I also would LOVE to be able to run a script which would backdate this for all old threads.

@buro9

mate do u familiar with AJAX?
I think will be better if it's AJAX based hack which takes the words from thread title immediately after we left the title field and put the suggestion in tags field.
So users will have possibility to edit unwanted tags.

masterross's idea is actually very, very cool.

That being said, installed and crossing fingers for some fancy ajax implementation ;)

I have a weird question.

If I have tags off, will this still auto add them in the background, so to speak?

We're wanting to wait a bit to enable tags, but when we do, would this modification have been working in the background?

EDIT::

Found a work around for this. Thanks for the hack!
