Admin Tag Management Page
- Blacklist tag button for each tag
- Edit Wiki button for each tag to open the wiki edit page
- Blacklist/delete tag buttons now update with Ajax so the page is not refreshed each time a tag is deleted or blacklisted. Very useful when managing tags on a specific page of the list. Deleting a tag used to refresh the page, reloading the list at the start. Now there is no page refresh saving a ton of time.
- Inline selection of tags to delete or blacklist. 'Select all' helps speed up the process.
- Dedicated page for managing blacklisted tags
- New for XF2: pagination and create regex rules for blacklisting
- New for 2.5.1.2: Bulk import of blacklisted tags
- Assign tag category
- Select forums where this tag can be added
- Enter synonyms for the tag
- This will auto change the synonym tags to the canonical tag when one (or more) is used.
- On the front end (utilising front end permissions), so that non-admins can edit the content, have a way to edit (supporting bbcode in the description) the tagline and description of the tag. Also change the front end so aside from showing the list of content that is using that tag, you see the tagline and description of the tag in addition to the list of content using the tag.
- Uses Wikipedia API. Admin option to set any Wikimedia API.
- Permission to manage tag wiki
- With permission, when viewing the tag page (thread tags | XenForo Community), there’ll be an “Edit” link to manage the tag description and tagline.
- Provides a tabbed interface to switch between the tag's recent content and the tag wiki description.
- When saving a new tag or an existing tag with empty Wiki information, get the Wiki information from Wikipedia.
- Follow Wikipedia redirects (fixes cases where Wikipedia entries fail to load).
- If the wiki search returns a disambiguation page, there is an option to not use that.
- If the wiki search does not return an exact match, there is an option to try a fuzzy match.
- For when Wikipedia fails to return information for a tag, set the Wiki entry to the contents of the phrase "tagess_no_wikipedia_entry_exists" (default "No Wikipedia entry exists for this tag"). Note: if you do not want to display any text, set the phrase to a single space character to avoid attempting to repopulate it from Wikipedia each time it is saved.
- * New in 2.4.0 : If the call to Wikipedia does not return a result, Tag Essentials will get information for the tag from ChatGPT if the option to do so is enabled.
- Batch update process to populate tags with wiki information if they are blank or contain the phrase above. Note: This may take some time if you have a lot of tags to fetch as we limit the frequency of Wikipedia API calls.
- When batch updating threads, you can now add or remove tags in addition to all the existing options. When adding a tag, the user that started the thread is credited.
- When creating a thread, after typing the thread title (when the title loses 'focus'), an ajax request will check to see if any tags are included in the title, if they are then they automatically get added to the tags list (they can be removed and more can also be added).
- Suggested tags can be single and multiple words. E.g. If these tags exist: "I love John", "John Paul George Ringo", "Paul George Ringo", "Ringo" and a new thread title is "I love John Paul George Ringo a lot" then all the tags will be suggested.
- Admin option to set the maximum number of words in a tag which will be auto suggested (default 3). This is to avoid too much processing when searching for tags within a title. If set to 3 words, the above example would not suggest the "John Paul George Ringo" tag as it contains 4 words.
- To combat slowness when the server is finding tags to suggest, there is an admin defined list of stop-words to prevent suggesting tags with common words. Use of the stop words list can be disabled, enabled to ignore tags only where the first word of the tag is in the list or enabled to ignore tags which contain any of the stop words.
- A default list is included. E.g. "A" and "I". If enabled, this would prevent the "I love John" tag from being suggested in the above example.
- Create a forum-view Tag Cloud Widget showing popular tags from threads in the current forum and its subforums.
- The ability to get tags automatically added from ChatGPT when a thread is created based on the forum title, thread title and first post text. An Open API Key needs to be supplied from ChatGPT and if then enabled, and there are fewer than 3 (default, admin editable) tags already in the tag box, ChatGPT will attempt to top that number of tags up to 5 (default, admin editable) when the thread is created.
- AI Auto tagging is enabled in all forums by default, but can be deactivated in specific forums by unticking the Allow ChatGPT tag suggestions in this forum tickbox
- Note that there is a cost associated with using ChatGPT in Tag Essentials, though it is currently working out to be less than $2 per month for AVForums.com (a busy forum) and MGEVs.com (not a particularly busy forum) combined.
Resource Auto Tagging (New in 2.5.0)
- Resources can be auto tagged using titles and/or AI in the same way as threads.
- Batch update resource tags allows filterable selection of resources to be auto tagged.
- Note that the batch update tagging works on the simpler 'add existing tags within the title' system and not the AI method yet.
Filter threads by tags
- A new facility in the forum view to filter threads by the tags used
- In forum admin, set a minimum number of tags to be required in new threads in a particular forum.
- In forum admin, set default tags to be auto-suggested when a new thread is created in a particular forum.
- In thread prefix admin, set default tags to be auto-suggested when a new thread is created with a particular prefix.
- With permission (Tagess - Can Watch Tag), users are able to watch tags and receive an alert/email when new content is added with that tag.
- When hovering a tag, you will get a preview popover that displays a snippet of the tag description (from the wiki info), with links to the "recent content", "top users", and "view information" pages.
- Plenty of them
- Rebuild Caches -> Rebuild Empty Wiki Tags
- Rebuild Caches -> Prune low usage tags
- Rebuild Caches - > Remove orphaned tags (only usually needed to remove blacklisted tags after upgrading to 2.5.1.2)
- https://www.avforums.com/tags/4k/ - The tag overview page for their "4k uhd (ultra hd)" tag. Notice the synonyms, tagline and the tabs.
- https://www.avforums.com/tags/4k/top-users/ - A list of users that have used the tag the most.
