Automatic Tagging (Product) · **Released**: 06-30-2008

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).

History

Based on Buro9's code at https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=179772 converted into a product for ease of updating vbulletin/plugin.

I'll be adding some additional features at some point as well.

when someone type the topic title between quotes it take it with the words

what i mean for example

"topic title"

so the tags become: "topic, title"

can u make the tags: topic, title

without the quotes

sorry i'm bad in english

I agree. It does this with any character.

It would be nice if the product would automatically strip the tags of special characters other than letters and numbers.

For some reason, it doesn't work when posting using the Zoints Anonymous Posting MOD.

is it possible to add a feature that specific characters be stripped from the tag when allowed?
ie. remove ! exclamation points, ? question marks and the like.

You write in your orginal post:

But I can't find this option anywhere. Where did you find it?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
