>  BoardTracker Topic Tags Mod
Short Description
Thread tagging system linked to tag search on boardtracker - allows for other tag related features.

Detailed Description


This mod adds the ability to tag threads when posted. Tags are then displayed with the thread and link to tag search via boardtracker, similar to the tagging and tag search often used on blogs.

Tag search results can be global (all boards), or restricted to a single board or a select group of boards you define thereby allowing you to create traffic trading rings with other board owners or just within your own boards if you have more than one.

Once you have the mod installed and your users have started tagging, you will be able to add tag clouds to your board (with another mod) - you can see an example tag cloud on boardtracker index page. Other tag/folksonomy related mods based on this are also planned.

You can see an example of the tagging mod on boardtracker forums (using phpbb but functionally the same).

yes you can have it link to only your page. It describes how in the instructions.

However when board tracker comes to my site now these never work. It never gets the keywords into its scans! I think maybe somethign changed in 2.2 or 2.3 becuase it used tos can them properly and now it doesn't. I've emailed them from multiple email addresses about it and they never answer anymore.

Does the mod work for 2.3? Or is there any similar mod that does? I am rather interested in this.

OK, I can se that it works for 2.3, but I didn't think that the mod would link the tag search to another home page. I would like the tags to link only to my own page. Is it possible (and is it OK?) to change it somewhere, so the tags only link to my own board?

This mod works fine with 2.2. I just installed it.

Question: how can we make it so people replying to a thread can add tags? Or can we even create a "tag this thread" box so members can tag current threads more quickly?

Yeah, like I said earlier... if more people were doing a lot of tags it would be even better. So it's the type thing which will probably only get more useful over time, rather than less useful.

We're rescanning your threads for new tags so you should seem them soon.

As for the reviews - only if they are posted as normal threads in a forum would they be indexed. You could perhaps post a shortened version/preview as a thread with a link to the full article and then those previews would be indexed as normal.

Where are the articles posted by the way?

Hi, for some reason some of my topics which have tags havent made it into the tag search on boardtracker yet and the tags were there for a week or two now. I THINK most are cases where it already indexed the topic BEFORE I edited and put topic tags in, but I'm not sure. I just looked and noticed another which I have had a topic tag on for at least several weeks or a month which isnt in the tag search also. That tag search is a great idea and I wish more people indexed on your site would make tags!

Also wondering if there would be some way for it to index reviews from an in-depth reviews system I have. It's a component unique to my site... at this point it hasn't become active, as I am still getting things as perfect as I can with it. But anyway just wondering if there would be some way to get reviews indexed once i do start getting that really active.
