Automatic Thread Tagger


Description
When a user submits a new thread this modification will automatically take keywords from the thread title and use these as tags. You can use Automatic Thread Tagger to propose the user AJAX tags for his new thread, or it assigns new tags after saving the new thread. It can add the translated thread prefix to the tags.
Additionally, you can tag existing threads via maintenance and also scheduled tasks.

This modification is a successor to the terminated Automatic Thread Tagger by MrEyes:
https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=179927

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. Any rules you have setup for tagging will be respected.
If you choose to do so this product will also automatically tag threads created by incoming RSS feeds.

Demo
I cannot show you the process of creation, but here is a list of tags generated by Auto Thread Tagger:
http://www.insideearth.net/tags.php?langid=5
http://www.insidesupcom.de/tags.php?langid=1


Automatic Tagging of existing threads
You can tag existing threads via maintenance or scheduled task/cron. They will be created with a special flag so they can be easily identified and deleted. Manual assigned tags are not touched. Maintenance is also working if Automatic Tagging is disabled via settings. Great if you want to test some settings. Automatic Tagging will take the date of the thread creation and also the userid of the creator. This process can be automated by running a scheduled job once a night.

Please keep in mind that tags that were proposed via AJAX are not tagged as auto tagged and therefore cannot be identified as such (and therefore not deleted automatically). If you want to retain the auto tagged flag you should disable AJAX and enable the tagging after the thread has been saved. As an alternative way you can also disable this and let new threads be tagged in the night from the scheduled job.


Installation / Upgrade
1. Upload all files from "upload" to your server, take care of the directory structure
2. Import "product-auto_thread_tagger110.xml" as a product, overwrite if it's already installed
3. Check settings
4. Run maintenance / Auto Tag Threads to tag existing threads (needed if you want to use the cron)

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


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

* If no threads are tagged you will have to check the following:
- Is the modification enabled? Is the action you are testing enabled? (vBulletin tagging, whole auto thread tagger system, AJAX, new threads)
- Are the words you are using badwords or filtered out?

* Cron/Scheduled Task is not tagging all threads.
- The cron is limited to 500 (you can change this via settings) threads per run to avoid heavy impact on server. Make sure you run maintenance auto tagger before this to tag old threads. You can check the scheduled tasks log to see if it is running correctly.
Important: If a thread title does not meet minimum requirements to be included in tags (f.e. one word thread titles, too short words), it will be forever in this queue.

* I'm using polish, arabic, turkish, etc.. language and the tagger is not working like it should.
- If not already replaced, replace the filter replacement '&'=>'and' with ' & '=>'and' (a space before and after &)



Todo
What comes next? You decide. Tell me what you are missing and I'll look if it can be integrated.


Why thread title and not thread text?
Parsing the thread text for tags is an extremely unlikely addition as this would require some fairly heavy processing to ensure quality of tags.


What are Stopwords?
Stopwords is the name given to words which are filtered out prior to processing of tags.
The user Hostboard on vBulletin.org posted some resources regardings this:

- Fixed error with missing threadid's
- Fixed error with AJAX and prefix

Are you sure you enabled the whole system? In v1.1 there is also a new setting for this.
Does auto tagging on new threads work?
Yeah I went through the whole process twice. But still it didn't work.

I downgraded to the last build and everything is working fine now.

It really is strange...

Ok, but that doesn't answer "Does auto tagging on new threads work?".

If I install this, for the first few minutes/hours will it put an insane load on a server while it goes through and tags threads or will it only work once a thread is viewed or does it only work on new threads?

(haven't installed yet).

Can certain forums be excluded from auto-tagging? A screenshot of the settings would be nice.

Thanks!

Fixed in next Beta. The auto tagger engine did not handle a 0 as unlimited setting in maxlength, minlength, etc...

If you are tagging all old threads, it will generate so much load like you would reindex threads via maintenance. Otherwise it is only using one query while tagging a new thread.

Please click "Mark as Installed" to get further support.

Beta 2 has been now released. Please download, install and report errors here. This beta is considered as stable beta. If no critical errors occur the next version will be final.

The main changes are added support for AJAX, Scheduled Tasks and RSS. Beta 2 also brings stripping of HTML and BBCodes, re-tag changed titles, fixed AJAX for FireFox 3 and also fixed the not tagging threads if options are set to 0.

History
1.1 BETA
- Added tagging by AJAX. If enabled, tags will be added to the tag field after leaving the title field. There is also a setting that controls the availability of that feature and also controls if leaving the title field will erase all tags entered by the user.
- Added cron to auto tag not tagged threads in the night. Please run maintenance auto tagger before this to tage the base threads.
- Improved overall process of tagging
- Tags that were added via new thread process, RSS or maintenance are marked as autotagged (does not count for AJAX tagging) and so can be removed
- No need for editing rssposter.php anymore. RSS Feeds are beeing checked via maintenance or cron.
- Fixed Smart Tags for existing threads
- Obeying max tags limit while creating a new thread
- Tagging thread also after changing the title
- Stripping of HTML and BBCodes
- Fixed not tagging threads if tag limits are set to unlimited (0)
- Smaller fixes and changes
