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

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 have been waiting for six months for a feature, Tags only from Title. That will rock the thang Fella when is the next update

[Dark_Jack]

Thank you!!

[cobaku]

Tags only from Title
would be a great option
because when we have alot of tags it slows down the server

also could you add utf8 language support to url
for example
http://www.url.com/tags.php?tag=?abuk
just like vbulletin 4 now supports utf8 urls on friendly urls option

[Seb@]

not work for me in 4.0.4 PL1

[cobaku]

is there anything we can do to increase speed of add tags to all threads

like changing a value in /etc/my.cnf ?

[Kolbi]

You mean the cron job takes to long?

And this shedule increases your server load?

i am manually giving tags to old threads and it takes too long to tag them all
i got like a million topics

10.000 topics take a day to tag
i am trying to learn if i change a setting in server's /etc/my.cnf mysql server
it may get faster ?

Great addon, thank you.

Suggestions:
1) A page to modify 'Disapproved' tags.
2) Tag search function, especially for the Tags Proposition page.
3) Incorporate the vbulletin code to remember selections between pages on the tags proposition page, such as on the vb tag.php page.
4) Perhaps change the checkboxes on the propositions page to 3 radio buttons, where it is 'Approve', 'Disapprove', 'Ignore'. Also include buttons at top of each page to 'Select All Approve', 'Select All Disapprove', 'Select All Ignore'. Default being Ignore.
That way, you won't need to go through everything twice, once to disapprove, and once to approve. You could do it all in one shot.

Thanks again for a great mod.

can "adding tags to old threads"
made faster by altering and adding index to tables ?
like alter table (thiscell,thatcell);

if so what is the command
