Taggerati for WordPress: feedback please!

Small update. I placed a new zip.

Fixed:

– Ajax part was broken, now fixed
– Fixed Tagpage for: ” being shown above
the tag cloud. It now has a different header
– All output validates as XHTML 1.0 now

I just went through and tagged the posts on my front page, added the display of tags for each post on the index page and added the tag cloud at the bottom:

It still needs some styling though, especially on the tag page as those borders on the linked images just have to go but that can come after a few beers. ??

So far it all seems to be working fine except for the issues noted above and I seem to like tagging a lot better than using categories it just feels more natural and my list of categories was starting to get out of control. Now I just need some quicktags to make tagging nice & easy…

Is there anyway to tag a post without having the tag be a part of the post? Say for example I do a post about Nintendogs and want to tag it as Video Games but saying the term Video Games doesn’t really fit in the post, is there anyway to tag that?

In this post I had the first Houston as an itag but it was getting filtered out to be blank, I changed it to a normal tag for now but it looks like that is a bug somewhere, it seems to do that for all of the first itags by the look of it actually.

Plus tag’s don’t seem to be working right, possibly related to when you have a multi word tag, for example look at this post both of the tags there are plain tag’s and not itag’s yet they are not links.

Jaseone> About the Nintendogs thing: In that case I would use itag. Just stick <itag>videogames</itag> below the posting for example. The Houston tag looks normal to me. It works fine?

I’ll look into multi-word tags today. Thanks! ??

On the multi word thing: It does work. The only thing is it doesn’t get linked for some reason. If you use the tags in this post block (see INSTALL file) it will show.

In this post I used ‘feed fetcher’ as an example:

I’ll fix the tag not being a link thing!

Fixed. Multi word tags get displayed correctly now.

(FWIW, the Tidy Tags thing was written to unmangle my data when I imported it from a substantially different database schema; and to clean up after a bug in UTW1ish. In practice, you don’t need to use tidy tags (unless you’ve been manually importing or otherwise making a mess of your tagging data))

I think I misunderstood the purpose of itag’s, from the description I thought the words would remain part of the post but just not be linked anywhere, that would explain it!

I think tags with >2 words are still not rendering as links, they get recognized as tags and the text is still rendered for them in the post but they don’t get made into a link.

For example the first mention of Ruby on Rails is tagged in this post but it hasn’t been made into a link.

It is… The problem is in WP itself. It does NOT work when you use excerpts because WP strips off all html and other tags. The same problem occurs when you have a posting that contains a link. A demo is here on my site:

click

If you look at the post about ‘My plugins and K2’ you will see a text ‘DOWNLOAD’. This is actually a normal html link but it’s not shown as a link on the frontpage. On the full article view however you do see the link. I also tagged the 2-word expression ‘release quality’ in that posting in order to demonstrate that it does work.

WP simply removes ALL formatting from excerpts before you can even get it with the_excerpt() so I’m not sure whether this issue can be resolved.

It’s not a bug, it’s a feature ??

But I’m not using excerpts well and if you load the actual post the link still doesn’t render.

Maybe there is some incompatibility between the plugin and the latest development build?

That’s really weird! Can you please, just to be 100% sure you’re using the latest version, re-upload taggerati?

Just download it and unzip again into the plugins dir.

I’ve installed it on two separate WP installs and it works on both of them so I’m sort of confused here! ??

The other one is here:

Check the tag ‘comment spam’, it’s working fine there.

Oh crap… Sorry, I wget’d the latest release without realizing I hadn’t deleted the last zip file so it got saved as .zip.1 and of course I unzipped the old .zip one, all is well now after working that out. ??

WP-Taggerati 1.0 has been released. Thanks to everyone who helped testing and debugging!
