New Posting Features - Automatic Tagging (Product)

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.

well, for starters, BBcode and Html needs to be stripped out first. I've been testing this myself but haven't had time to do anything more with it.

There should also be a way to detect phrases.

While I'm liking this but Mr. Eyes's mod is more useful. Tagging of group words, adds tag even if author adds them. You would definitely need to add those features.

Yeah, im surprised to see this mod as there is already one out there, however thanks for sharing, ill see how you progress yours, and i might install it in the near future.

Will it do RSS Feeds?

The product quoted is definitely more complete and feature rich but it doesn't look like it's going to be further developed. I'm going to watch this mod and I hope it'll be polished and updated on a more frequent basis.

Not only these - a Script to tag all old Threads is still missing.
