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) <= || 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

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

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?

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?

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?

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.
