TinyPortal v1.0 beta 4 - Tags

[Rus]

Are you considering making it permission based?  I'd like to let a few users add from the show hide thing on topics.

That doesn't work even for me as an admin yet btw.  When I try adding a tag from anywhere other than the admin panel it doesn't work.

Hi Rus,

Tags are a new feature of TinyPortal and, as such, are certainly a work in progress.  At this time, in order for a member to have permission to manage tags they must have the permission to manage TinyPortal settings enabled (TinyPortal --> Manage settings).  This can be accomplished by having a membergroup with that permission only and then putting the member into that group.

Tags have been discussed somewhat on the Team Board, but nothing has been finally decided on how to handle this.  In a later version of TP, Bloc may split this permission to "Manage Tags" out to a separate permission but nothing has been firmly decided on this yet.  Do you think that would be a good idea?

In any case, if you trust a member, they can be given the permission to manage settings without giving them the permission to manage articles and blocks, etc.

Thanks a lot ZarPrime. Your earlier guide to tags in this thread cleared a lot up as well.

How do you assign tags to a topic....? I just find tags in articles...

rekarde,

Sorry guys, I've been off for a couple of days.

Yes, you can tag boards, topics, and articles with the tag system.  Please go back and read my guide on this at this link ...

I have edited #4 in that post.  On my test site, I tagged a topic, a whole board, and 2 articles with the same tag so now, when viewing the topic on my test site in #4, it will show the tagged board and the 2 articles as related links to that topic.

If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask.
