 Posted: Sat Jan 21, 2006 5:32 pm Post subject: Topic Tagging mod for phpBB boards.. |
 |
|
Now your users can tag threads when posting with our new topic tag mod for phpbb..
BT_Tags_phpBB-1.0.1.zip
You can see it in action right here on this forum - see the topic tags above!
The mod uses the standard phpbb mod template and is easy to install. It should also soon be available in the phpbb mods database but you can download it directly from here with the above link.
We will be releasing a vbulletin version soon also.
Although similar in function to tags and tag search often seen on blogs, there are some unique features with our tagging mod which enhances its capabilities.
Examples..
A standard tag, as seen at the top of this thread, links directly to the full tag search on board tracker like so..
http://www.boardtracker.com/tag/keyword/
However you can also restrict search to a single board only by appending your boardtracker board id (available in your boardtracker control panel) like so..
http://www.boardtracker.com/tag/keyword/123
However, even better than this, you can also include multiple specific boards in the tag search allowing you to create 'tag rings' to trade traffic with other boards or just circulate traffic between your own boards if you have several. For example..
http://www.boardtracker.com/tag/apple/290,300,52
Enjoy!

I have a question about this mod.
I've gotten down to the very last part in the text file that provides instructions on how to install this mod.
I'm stuck on the part where you edit the functions_post.php:
| Code: |
#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
$topic_vote
#
#-----[ IN-LINE AFTER, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
, '$topic_tags'
#
#-----[ IN-LINE FIND ]------------------------------------------
#
" WHERE topic_id = $topic_id";
#
#-----[ IN-LINE BEFORE, ADD ]------------------------------------------
#
", topic_tags = '$topic_tags'" .
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]------------------------------------------
#
# EoM |
In the functions_post.php you have this:
| Code: |
$sql = ($mode != "editpost") ? "INSERT INTO " . TOPICS_TABLE . " (topic_title, topic_poster, topic_time, forum_id, topic_status, topic_type, topic_vote, topic_tags) VALUES ('$post_subject', " . $userdata['user_id'] . ", $current_time, $forum_id, " . TOPIC_UNLOCKED . ", $topic_type, $topic_vote)" : "UPDATE " . TOPICS_TABLE . " SET topic_title = '$post_subject', topic_type = $topic_type " . (($post_data['edit_vote'] || !empty($poll_title)) ? ", topic_vote = " . $topic_vote : "") . " WHERE topic_id = $topic_id";
|
As you can see, I got the 'topic_tags' field set already.
But there are two instances of '$topic_vote'.
Which one do I reference to insert after?
Thanks for the help. I'm almost there! |

Add it after this one..
$topic_type, $topic_vote
So it becomes..
$topic_type, $topic_vote, '$topic_tags')" : "UPDATE "

It's now up and running, and looks like everything is working great.
Appreciate your help. |

Ok, I've added quite a few tags on my board.
I'm assuming that BT will have to index the board again before clicking on these tags will have actual results on BoardTracker?
For example, say I click a tag on my board. It goes to BT, and there's nothing there yet.
Does it just take awhile?
thanks. |

They'll be indexed as soon as the spider next visits - if you login to your boardtracker control panel you can see a graph there showing when the spider visits your board.

Good morning. Checked it again today. Looks like it's been indexed several times the last 24 hours.
I tagged several topics yesterday morning.
Clicking on subsequent tags still yields no results.
For example, one of the first topics I tagged was "doubleshot"
Which should show up here:
http://www.boardtracker.com/tag/doubleshot/
With a tag search result for this thread:
http://www.meeciteewurkor.com/tforum/viewtopic.php?t=64
Please tell me I'm just being too impatient?

Probably that thread was already indexed before the tags were added. You can see the thread itself does appear in the regular search results.
There is an easy way to 'fix' that though, you can tag such threads through boardtracker itself. Just do a site search for your board like this..
http://www.boardtracker.com/search/?search=site:meeciteewurkor.com
There you will see under every thread the existing tags and if there are no tags just click the 'Be the first to Tag this thread' link and you can add any tags you want - note though that tags added like this only show on boardtracker, if you want them to show on your board you still need to tag them there as normal.

Ok, I can do that.
So eventually the spider will pick up on tags added to the TVoT Board automatically and those threads will show up in tag search results?
I guess what I'm wanting to know is this:
I'm not going to have to manually tag every thread like you just described on the BoardTracker site itself?
I definitely don't have the time to do that.

We just added a feature to find tags on previously indexed threads so now all your tags should appear in BoardTracker.
