WebCMS Posted August 17 Posted August 17 Currently, the user has to choose a subforum and assign tags to new topics as only the tags are found to be used for rendering Similar Content widget and marking up meta keywords (if no tags selected -> then no Similar Content widget and no meta keywords). If configured in ACP to not use tags, then use Subforum name to filter/render Similar Content widget and also use the same Subforum name to mark up the meta keywords. With the above option of not using tags, Articles could also use Subforums instead of categories on the Article posting form (so the article gets cross-posted into the chosen subforum optionally) and article URL can optionally have the subforum name for better SEO (or not). This refers to the prior topic of articles getting cross-posted always into a single subforum which is not optimal because articles can be on any subject as discussed in the below topic point #3 (summarized below) - 3) Currently, it can cross-post every article into only "one" specified subforum configured globally in the ACP which is not optimal. The article posting form should have a "Subforum" dropdown and a "Cross-post" switch to specify if the article should be cross-posted into the chosen subforum (this approach makes the cross-posting and subforum options dynamic on a per-article basis). Blogs and Events could use Subforum dropdown too instead of tags similar to Articles as above with the optional "Cross-post" switch to post into chosen subforum for more exposure. This would gracefully eliminate tags, simplify topic/article/blog/event posting, shorten the click-path for users with better UX and improve performance (from reduced clutter, storage and table-joins) for those sites who do not want to use redundant tags. This will not impact sites that are using tags.
