[Tinhte] XenTag 3.2.5

[Adam Howard]

I believe somebody is faster than us: http://xenforo.com/community/resources/hashtagging.2110/

I have no interest in that add-on

Would love to see this one extended and would be willing to support the development of it

Can you explain why you don't want to use that add-on? I know you wouldn't mind paying $15 for a useful resource.

For my opinion, simply we trusted more the way you code xfrocks.

Several reasons really.....

• Displays a large copyright in a pop-up
• Copyright looks like tag (only larger)
• Cost extra to remove that copyright
  
• Depends on overlay / pop-up
• Has no tag page
• Tags are not searchable
• Delayed response in tags showing up

The list continues..... But I'd much prefer to see this add-on further developed. This one works & I don't need more than one, nor do I want to lose the tags I already have.

So if it is possible....

And of course there is this factor

Just FYI - I've used Daniel's hashtagging for months and not had any large copyrights in a pop up appear, the copyright is neat and small, there isn't a tag page but there IS a tag list and I've not experienced any more of a delay than the tags system in this thread (which I am using as well).

Glad it works for you.

But we'll have agree to disagree on the copyright. To me this looks larger than tag (hell, it is its own button)


But to each their own.... I would rather see [Tinhte] XenTag be further developed.

My suggestion is to extend `xf_tinhte_xentag_tag` with `tag_ category`.

This would then allow to group tags to allow separation

so LiverpoolFC would be a club category whilst payers have Player Category. This would show as "Club Tags: LiverpoolFC" "Player Tags: Rush, Aldridge, Molby"
This would also aid the tag cloud if you could select the category to show.

Some way of grouping tags and separating them on thread view and thread creation and on tag cloud would be something i'd love to see added.

But it doesn't LOOK like a tag, which is what you said -

• Copyright looks like tag (only larger)

it looks like a button. For what it's worth, I like both mods. I use hashtags on one site and this one on another

it looks like a button.

I must remember that technology and metaphors (or slang) do not always go hand to hand. In this the miscommunication is my own fault.

I meant to say that it was it's own "tag" or billboard or logo or advertisement (pick a phrase), which outshines the functional purpose of the tagging system in the since that it is large & very distracting (beyond notice of the tags).

I even would think that it maybe even misleading in the since that the average user is going to click that, simply to think that it is a function of the site (of some sorts).

But again, I'm glad it works for you. Everyone's view-point and personal preference is their own.

Hello,
tried to perform an elastic search with the new version on multiple tags and it turns out that the string was formed incorrectly.

Using
<input name ="tinhte_xentag_tags_text" balbal /> in the template
tags are "tag1,tag2"

query was like "tag1 tag2" when it should be ["tag1","tag2"]

had to edit
XenTag/Integration.php and remove the implode

return array('metadata' => array(
Tinhte_XenTag_Constants::SEARCH_METADATA_TAGS,
Tinhte_XenTag_Helper::getSafeTagsTextArrayForSearch($constraintInfo),
));

Not sure if I am doing something wrong?

You want to get results for both tags?

 

[HotCopper]

yes that's right.

 

[xfrocks]

yes that's right.

Well, it is intended to search for results with both tags. So it's working as designed in this case.

@xfrocks - I think you should consider extending this addon to have the functionality of hashtags like @Adam Howard said. I'd be willing to spend $50 to buy it provided it also lets users subscribe to the hashtags.

Plus as everyone says - I find xfrocks's code more reliable.

On auto complete of tags --- it keeps trying to include an image with them for some reason. But there's no image associated with tags, is there?

Are you sure you are running latest version of the add-on? That happened with old versions only.

Version 1.7.2.

Really don't want all the extra features/overhead of the newer updates.

The latest update is largely about optimization and bug fix. The new feature is backend, mostly.

It would be useful to combine thread tags and #hashtags. That's why it does not make sense to use a separate addon.
