New Posting Features - Automatic Thread Tagger From Post Content and Title

VERSION 4.1.2 RELEASED - prepare for real revolution in tags!

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

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!

Can someone tell me if this mod has a setting to not add tags to restricted forums, for example I dont want my moderator and staff forums to be auto tagged, can I tell this mod to ignore certain forum ID's ?

Thanks

Any word on whether there are plans to introduce the RSS feed tagging. That would make this mod perfect! :up:

[bada_bing]

Question can I exclude auto tags from specific forums. I have hidden forums that only used by my mods for staff discussions and I dont want tags to be generated as this could leach out data to the general public

[onealien]

^^why wuld it matter if those threads were tagged? w/o proper permissions nothing culd be viewed...*shrugs*

installed and working like a dream...word up...

[adwade]

This is a really SWEET Mod! It installed just fine on my vB 3.8.6PL1 forum and runs like a top.

One question though, on the THREAD TAGGER/TAGS RELATED WORDS page a note states:

"Separate values by comma i.e.: for tag cat related words can be:
cats,kitty,kitties,lion,tiger.
Do NOT use spaces between related words!"

When you state Do NOT use spaces between related words are you trying to explain:
1)Use commas instead of spaces

-or do you mean that-

2)you can-not have (for instance) 'related words' of say hi viz being related to visibility

If #1, I understand completely.

However if it's #2, it puzzles me that one can have a TAG that does contain spaces within it (i.e. gas prices -or- row bike, but not a RELATED WORD w/spaces in it? )

So can one use brake pads as a Related Word for a TAG of brakepad, or must it be done vice-versa?(i.e. brakepad as a Related Word for a TAG of brake pads)

Marvelous Product and fun to use, but I have a couple of simple suggestions for future releases:

When reviewing Tag Propositions, consider...

1)Allowing the Admin to choose/see only TAGs of 2, 3, 4 letters etc. This way, very quickly one could Disapprove a lot of short/simple words that were most likely picked up in error.(i.e. an, and, etc)

2)A CHECK-ALL checkbox above the word columns would be a nice feature to help speed things up.

3)It would be nice to see more than only 30 Tag Propositions at a time on a page.(i.e. variable input box?, 30, 50, 100, etc)

When I ran Create Tag Propositions, I ended up with 109 pages of suggestions I had to weed-through. I understand you only do this once, but still having more than two columns of just 15 words would make things go faster.

As I said though, GREAT PRODUCT INDEED!

[adwade]

One other thing I've noticed, is that the product seems to suggest some Tags Propositions that are ALREADY Tags. It acts like it has it's own database, that doesn't (first) check with vB to see what Tags exist. Would be nice if an Admin didn't have to approve TAGS that already exist in vB.

[adwade]

When using the RELATED WORDS module, I've noticed a BUG several times now.:erm: Namely, somehow the relationship table becomes corrupted.

For instance, we run a bicycling forum and I had headlight,headlights associated to the tag light. In perusing the RELATED WORDS listing, I noticed a DUPLICATE entry that also had headlight,headlights associated with the tag v rex. (a particular model of bike)

Also, one other suggestions: Rather than having Go to Page... [1] 2 3 4 5 6, etc across the top of the RELATED WORDS module, it would be nice if those were LETTERS instead. That way an Admin could quickly jump to a particular spot in the alphabet to revise things, rather than 'guess' what words are on which page number.

Love all the options
This has been one of the easiest Mods to install and use

Thanks

Can this be used alongside the other tagger mod, or would that just be inefficient? Then, the other mod creates the tags, and this one would use them.

The reason I'm looking into this is that I use the tag system to enhance my forum's search. Fulltext can't handle a search string like:

k5 vs. k7 vs. kx

but the tag system can if you tweak it using another mod that allows multiple tag searches, and then force searches with 2-letter words to use tags.

So, basically, I want as many relevant tags as possible. Can I use both mods?
