Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted July 16, 20159 yr The tag system in IPS 4 is really nice, but I would like to be have full control of the tag system per-section. Right now we can only set the list of allowed tags/if tags are enabled per section, but I would like to have the full set of controls for each forum/section/database!Also (semi-related), a way to only use prefixes (perhaps a setting to auto-prefix the first tag?) would be appreciated.Lets have an example. I want to allow free and unlimited tagging on most of my site, but in the Q&A section, I want to allow one tag from the preset list, and have it be the prefix. Right now I can't do this, because the majority of tag settings are global and not adjustable on a per-section basis. Edited July 16, 20159 yr by Lukeroge
July 16, 20159 yr Agreed.Closed or open system per forum or category of app etc.Minimum and maximum also definable per forum or category of app etc.These should not be global. There is one setting for all apps and sections.And ability for a mandatory prefix. (@Lukeroge prefixes only as you state also good but the way tags work with prefixes I'm not sure they'll do that. Could work though if you define 1 max 1 min tag, so they can only input 1, and a prefix is mandatory. So in essence with these suggestions it would work. It would just show one tag and use it also as a prefix.) Edited July 16, 20159 yr by chilihead

It doesn't add much, and it uses existing IPS features.
July 16, 20159 yr Yes or just use the current prefix selection tool and when it is mandatory it throws an error if you don't select one. And if you only allow one tag it is automatically highlighted.
July 16, 20159 yr YES YES YES please. I posted this before, it should be configurable at least per app.
July 16, 20159 yr Totally agree but myself I need it in certain forum categories. Pages could be per database. Other apps per app, but the more control the better. Edited July 16, 20159 yr by chilihead

August 26, 20159 yr Author I'll just leave this here... Yeah, it's a good addon, I had it for 3.x. But functionality like this thread describes should be available in the stock suite.
