Advanced Tags & Prefixes - IPS 4.x

[DarkVibe]

I don't want to be the boy who broke the b***s but isn't a little too much for a third party app ? It's like a 1/4 of the community price... Anyway i don't talk about this app only but generaly.

Here prefixes have been added to the system before updating.

Here prefixes were added to the system after the upgrade.

In both cases, the configuration is the same.

[Matk]

It would be nice if when moving a topic to an area where it is not allowed tags, they were removed or on editing the topic they are removed automatically... Some people put the exact same prefix on the tag and it is not possible to delete or put the prefix.

[Namo]

Confirmed. Prefixes added after the update does not appear as categories. Prefixes before updating displayed.

[seanzol]

Has anyone else had an issue where title changes don't persist unless you also change a tag?

[motomac]

I moved a topic with a prefix to the forum, where prefixes are not allowed. And now I can't remove or edit this prefix. It's still visible.

May be a prefix should be removed automatically in such cases?

[Namo]

Still, this plug is broken. I can not add a prefix, edit, or delete.

[PrettyPixels]

I'd like to delete all my tags and start fresh. Is there any way I can mass delete all my tags and start over with this app?

[Namo]

On another forum, a fresh installation showed prefixes as subcategories. How do I add a new forum that does not work anymore. When the plug begins to work?

[Matk]

Not is possible enable "Require a Prefix"

[pilotguy]

Quick question.  I have a calendar system with multiple calendars in it.  When I attempt to test the prefixes out I've found that if I "create event" without first selecting a specific calendar group to display the ability to force prefix selection doesn't work and is in fact bypassed all together.  However, if I first select say "Calendar A" and then create event the tagging rules are applied.

Any workaround for this or something that can be adjusted?

[seanzol]

I'm having a weird issue that seems to be related to having required prefixes in a section/forum.

Title changes, or adding polls, do not persist upon saving a thread unless I also remove the prefix. While I have the global mods are exempt option enabled, this causes problems for my users who want to modify their threads without us having to do it for them. I'm not sure if anyone else has experienced this issue, but I'm hoping I can get this fixed.

You could use multimods to alter the prefix at that point. That's not really a feature I intend to add at this point.

Thanks, that helps. I'll look into that further, should be able to find and fix whatever the issue is. Will reach out if I need more info.

I'll look into it. I don't have an immediate answer.

See comment to Matk above.

In what context? I haven't heard of total failure like that from anyone else.

Not easily. You can go to the tag management tool in the ACP and delete all tags and prefixes from there; that should do it.

Please clarify.

I assume the settings are set per 'calendar group'?. If so, no, no workaround for that situation. I'm not sure why they would allow unlinked events like that in the first place. It would be equivalent to posting a topic outside of any forum.

I could not change the title of the specified topic

Hello,

the issue is caused by the "Advanced Tags and Prefixes" Application.
As soon as i disable it, i'm able to rename the topic with the "Namo" useraccount.

I would suggest to contact the author of this application for further support.

Okay...HeatSeeker reported the same issue above. Like I told him, I'll look into it.

Is this you clarifying the issue you posted about above, or something completely different?

[Namo]

The answer I received from the IPS Support after reporting the problem.

I ask you for help because your plugin block the editing of titles.

[NathanR]

Just reporting I'm getting the same issue with editing of topic titles not saving.

[Ryan H.]

Just released a minor update. This should fix outstanding issues, at least until the next IPS release is out...

@Morrigan, I wasn't able to reproduce your tag cloud issue at all anymore. I can exclude tags with spaces just fine as of 3.1.5. I made an adjustment there anyway, though.

 

What's New in Version 3.1.6

• Fixed bugs with editing topic titles.
• Fixed node settings cache not being cleared on changes (that is, some forum tag/prefix settings not taking effect).

[Joel R]

Thanks for the ongoing releases.

Dear @Ryan H.

I've been playing a little more with the Advanced Tags & Prefixes over the weekend (mainly to clean up the mess of an open prefix system on my community ), and I was hoping to throw out a couple of larger suggestions over things that bother me regarding tags.  (To be clear, these points bother me about the tagging system in general, not your app.)

1.  Moderation over new tags - I've always offered an open-ended prefix system so my tags can organically grow over time.  However, there's no way for me to moderate the growth or to ensure the relevancy of new tags without checking each new topic's tags and prefixes.  As such, I'm wondering if you can consider adding a moderation tool for new tags (eg. they need to be approved first by Moderators before they appear; otherwise they remain hidden).

2.  Relational schema - I don't really know how to properly describe this, but in essence .. some sort of relationship-based system among the tags that can provide a logical and hierarchical categorization.  Here are two examples of relationships:

• Equivalency: The tags "dog" and "canine" are equivalent to each other, so if a user selects one of the tags to discover more content, he gets content tagged with both since they are the same.  This is a huge problem for me as my users will define new tags like "dog" "dogs" "canine" and "hound" when they're all the same.    
• Parent-Child: The tag "dog" is a child tag of "animal."  So if a user selects "animal," then he gets results from "dog" "cat" and "cow."  

Right now, the tagging system is one big pile where all tags are equally distinct and independent.  I'm wondering if you can help bring some sense of order to tagging?  Maybe?

I did something close to #2 for a client on 3.x, a looong time ago. I think it's come up for discussion before--solid idea, great functionality, it's just...complicated. In that case, I basically had to rip out IPS's built-in tag system to make it work. The ad-hoc and unconnected nature of IPS's tag/prefix architecture makes it totally unsuitable for setups like that. It's all using raw text.

Anyway, they're good ideas, but I wouldn't expect to see them in the near future.

When you fix your change of title in the editing?

All due respect, but $42 for prefixes? Holy canoli.
