Mini Mods - Automatic Tagger From Message Content and Title

VERSION 4.4.0 RELEASED - prepare for real revolution in tags!

What this mod do:
Each time new message arrives (as totally new or reply) this mod will automatically add tags according to message content, title and existing tags in forum. It will also automatically add new tags to old messages.

NOTE: at this moment it adds tags only to threads, but in next releases it will support also other taggable content
This is version for vB4 of this great mod: Tagger for vB3.8

In details:
It will add only tags which already exists in your forum if it will be included in your post title or content.

It works simple - if title or content includes tag word, then tag will be added to this thread.
Simple and fast. And also have lot of sophisticated functionalities - see below

In more details :
I.e. if you already have in forum such tags as autohypnosis, hypnosis, nlp, and submodalities. Now someone will write post like this (as reply or new thread):

Title: Hello NLP fans
Content: I like to use autohypnosis!

So this mod will automatically add for thread where post is written such tags: autohypnosis, nlp

nlp - cause it is in title; autohypnosis - cause it is in content

hypnosis is included in word autohypnosis, but this mod is smart enough to see that there is no separate word hypnosis neither in title nor in content - so it is not added
submodalities and any other existing tag is not added here, cause it is not included either in content or title of new post.

In more details with sophisticated functionalities :
Also this mod will add tags propositions for each word existing in post title which is not a tag yet. So for this example 2 tags propositions will be added: hello and fans.
You can approve tags propositions manually or set quarantine time after which propositions will automaticaly change to tags.

This mod allows you to define related words for each tag. It means that now tag word don't have to be included in post - it is enough if any of related words is included to add tag :up:
I.e. if you have tag cat then you can define for it related words like: cats,kitty,kitties,lion,tiger. Now if any of those words appears in post then tag cat will be added

This is really great if you want have tag added no matter does word will be used singular or plural, or in which time it will be or maybe in your language you have to inflect words. Like in Polish we have: krowa, krowy, krowie, krową - for same word krowa. Now no matter how is inflected tag word in post and no matter in which language is your forum - this mod will appropriately add this tag!

You can also use this functionality to define tag packs. I.e. I want that every time when someone is writing about hypnosis or trans, booth hypnosis and trans tags to be added. In such case I simply define trans as related word for hypnosis tag and hypnosis as related word for trans tag

This mod also allows you to set default tags for forum. So each new and old thread in forum will be tagged by those tags It could be very useful - for example I have forum with good news and I want each thread in this forum to be tagged by newspaper, and news - so I simply write it in forum configuration and mod cares about everything! Is it great or just amazing?

Also with this mod You can just click one link in menu and it will add tags to all already existing threads. So If you was happy that now all new posts will be properly tagged, I have great news for you - now all threads will be properly tagged - even old one

Also every day this mod will automatically check does some new tags appears and in such case it will add new tags to all already existing threads which includes this keyword in content or title. So now not only all threads will be properly tagged for moment when you use functionality described above. It will keep all tags in all threads up to date continuously



Features:

• Automatically adds tags to new posts/threads according to content, title and already existing tags in forum.

• Tags related words functionality

• Version checking supported

And commercial :
It is very useful for everyone who wants to keep an eye on tags, and doesn't want just each word from title automatically added.

So with this mod you know that only valuable tags are automatically added.

In some languages (like mine - Polish) same word is different according to whole sentence - i.e. in English is just cow and cows - in Polish we have: krowa, krowy, krowie, krową... And I didn't want all of those to make garbage of my tags, so I was not able to mod which was just adding every word which appears in title - it was too weak for me. I really wan to have only valuable tags ant that’s why I created this mod
Also with this mod thanks to related words functionality I'm sure that tag will be added no matter in which person, time or quantity the tag word is used in post! And also allows me to create groups of related tags!

When I wrote post I just to add tags myself, but also had to do this for other users who just add post and doesn't care about tags.
You know that? Now this mod will do it for you and also you will forget about tags writing, because after some time in most forums new tags are very rare, and mostly are used tags which already exist.

It was very important for me to have such solution and I want to share Enjoy!

I've followed your directions to the T, and it's not creating tags on the posts, and it removed tags from all my posts. My tag cloud is emptied and not one posts has tags left on it.

So I'm considering that "removing tags".

You considering that "removing tags" because you do not know what is tag and what is tag association. According to this discussion you already should see the difference - especially that I gave you a way to find out that all your tags still exists in your database - did you go there ans saw that all your tags still exists?. Those are just not assigned to any thread (since you manually and with intention removed all tags associations) and that is why your cloud is empty - cloud counts for each tag its associations and most popular are displayed as bigger one - that how it works. Tags without any associations are not displayed in cloud since it has no sense.

So once again: This mod will never remove any tag - it can remove all your tags associations if you manually trigger it - what is made by users usually to do re association in next step and be sure that tags are only associated if keyword is included in message.

Why did you removed your associations having no idea what it is - it is your mystery. But you made it with intension since it doesn't work if you click link by mistake - there is another view with information what it does and question are you sure that you want to do it. Also with information what to do later. So it needs 3 clicks to do it. And since we are discussing it I assume that you intentionally clicked "YES" for option "Clear All Tags Associations" and after that you committed it by clicking "Save" - so mod didn't remove you even tags associations. You did it using this mod. And after that you started shouting here shits and describing how much you are pissed off because mod just did what you precisely asked him...

Also - I have no idea what is the issue right now, because I gave you also instructions how to re associate tags - did you try it?

And also 2 - I'm not trying to tell you anything - I'm telling you. And because I wrote this mod and I know how vB database structure looks and how it works in area of tagging it would be wise from your side to at least follow hints which I gave you last time before argue again having no idea how it works - thanks

Please create me test account on your forum with any rights - I just need some place where I can write test message and possibility to see what tags exists right now (you can just write me 3-4 tags which exists in your vB). PM me details - I will check it

You have wrong cron user ID - there should be ID not username. Please find your user by Admin CP and you will find what is his ID Also In next release I will add there in description - clearly that id is not username

getting this error please help

It looks like installation goes wrong - did you imported product file? Please try uninstall and install mod again. If it still happens please PM me access details to your Admin CP and FTP - I will help you. As I see in your log - it happens during new thread creation. I cannot reproduce it on my side - so I need your assistance here. Thanks

does it mather in which order I run them ?
or should I run one of them first and the other second? just to be sure so I dont do anything wrong.

It doesn't matter which order you will use. Also - please read first what propositions are and how it works. I recommend to nod use propositions at all if you want to keep your tags clear. Or if you think you will need some help with choosing what should be a tag - then you can use propositions for this. Propositions will not mess with your tags until you manually promote proposition to a tag or you set quarantine time to have it done automatically (very bad idea, but some people was asking about it).

It is not needed - mod have task for associating tags to existing threads Just have to trigger it manually.

Please without biting. Admins on this forum didn't like it and don't hesitate to use power. Know that from my own experience For personal things use PM

You can consider it as none. Of course some is taken, but only when new posts arrives - so mod have no impact on performance during forum display.
+there is task which associates new tags to old posts - this one is working at night and for many forums it is very rare to have new tags.
