Advanced Tags & Prefixes - IPS 4.x

[joshuaj]

@Ryan H.,

I can confirm that the latest patch fixed this issue.

To fix go to : System -> Support -> Something isn't working

From there you'll see a minor patch. Apply it and it should fix the tags not saving.

My forum can accept only one prefix for each category. You click save for 3 prefixes, and i see one 1. Also after this bug i lost thousands of topics prefixes, and transformed into one colour tags .

Yes this is a major headache for us to

Please can this be fixed ASAP

This was apparently not just an issue with Tags plugin but the board. I noticed it was causing issues with Taman's themes as well with his sliders order. This minor patch fixed his theme slider tags as well.

Confirmed also.

Yep, I was having the same problem here of only saving one tag, installed the latest IPS patch and it is working now. So, a problem with the platform, not with the app.

Thanks! That was a huge help.

@Ryan H. I found out a bug today that I don't know if it is with the platform or with your app. So I'd like your feedback on this so we can report this bug to IPS if that is the case.

I have a usergroup that I want to allow the users to use prefixes, but not tags. So for this usergroup, we have tags disabled and prefixes enabled.

However, with this setting, the prefixes aren't displayed at the front-end (when creating a new topic) for users in this group. They only appear when I also enable tags for this group.

Can you test this? Thanks.

That's going to be 'not a bug' on both parts, I'm afraid. Prefixes are tags internally, just special ones. That means a given member must be able to use tags in order to use prefixes.

Hum, I will open a topic with a suggestion for them to change this, then.

I cannot seem to remove, rename or edit the tags. Every change just never gets saved.

I've already ran the recache tool, the support tool. Is it just me?

[+Gabriel Torres]

@Ryan H. I was actually able to solve the issue using the app itself... There is an per-forum option called "Tag Mode" which defaults to "Inherit". Changed this setting to "Prefixes only" and the tag system was disabled, allowing only prefixes!

Can you give more context? Before/after screenshots?

In the tags section of the app, if I delete a tag from there, it deletes it visually but after refreshing the page, it's still there. I can provide a video via PM if you'd like.

Hi @Ryan H.

This is a minor issue that I reported to you in the past, in the topic feed widget the tags and the topic titles don't have a space between them. It is still like this even with the latest update. This is very minor but freaks out a person with OCD like myself.

Thanks,

Gabriel

I still have this problem. Was it fixed?

[+Gabriel Torres]

@motomac Nope. Still waiting.

No change. Not considering it a breaking issue.

[motomac]

Hm... But it obviously breaks this app's own style:

Last topic in a forum:

If the problem is caused by the bold font in a widget I suggest to make the font normal - the same as in forum view.

Nothing's broken though. It just looks a little off. It's nothing to do with the bold text, just styling. It shouldn't be hard to work around, I'm just not going to publish a release just for that. I missed it on the last update.

[motomac]

So does it mean you will fix this in the next release?

That's likely.

I am getting a MySQL error when I goto ACP > Support > Something isn't working... No apparent errors with the app as far as I am aware however it says the database has a problem with it.

There are some problems with your database. Normally it is safe to try to fix these problems automatically however if your community is large, you may want to run the necessary queries manually. If so, the queries to run are:

ALTER TABLE `forums_topic_mmod` CHANGE COLUMN `topic_prefix` `topic_prefix` INT (10) NULL DEFAULT -1 COMMENT 'AT&P: Topic prefix'

Should I just apply the fix it wants to do?

Hm, I'll look into that. Yeah, do it, shouldn't hurt.
