It's just an entry field under the story. I will add an autocomplete feature once the core functionality works. But I figured I'd first get it out there so folks can use it.
I'm sure Mark will see it and evaluate it himself. Adding new support types is easy as long as there is a call to PLG_templateSetVars in the right places.

Currently, there is no admin interface to the plugin. It just assumes anyone logged-in can enter tags to any supported object. Unfortunately, only stories call PLG_templateSetVars in unmodified Geeklog. I'll work on common patches for various other plugins as I get time (and requests). Yours is request 1 for a mediagallery patch.

I didn't know plugins can go that deeply in the system (without hacking), nice. I assume it's really under the story and not in the FCKeditor menu?


Autocomplete would be great. I hope it would be like in IMDb. That is, a list of similar tags. Then, if you're sure it's none of them, you can suggest a new tag. That way the admin can maintain a chosen list of tags instead of having endless tags, which is something I don't like about web 2.0. Even IMDb, that has a closed list instead of endless tags, has lots of variations of the same thing. So you can never be sure you get all of the relevant movies when you click a certain tag.


It would be great if Mark cooperated with you. Then he could focus on the media stuff instead of on tags.

P.S.
Are you sure you don't want to open up a little business so I could pay you and delcare it a business expence, which is what it is?

PLG_templateSetVars. Unfortunately, it's only supported by stories (and when I'm done with it, events.) Of course, tag would probably look weird next to links and polls though. Staticpages could support it if the staticpage calls the function itself.
Sorry, I went with the slashdot.org model and open tags. I'm sure it could be enhanced to handle closed tags once the autocomplete part is done. But that's not my interest at the momemt.

I do plan to add an admin section where you could tell the system different tags are the "same". So if you have google and googling in your tag tables you could force the system to treat both as "google" for look up (and cloud size) purposes.
All he (or anyone) needs to do is add the PLG_ call to his code before he parses his templates, add a {tags} entry to the relevant template files, and make sure there is a $template->set_var call containing the unique identifier of the object. Then it just takes a few Config entries in my plugin and its all hooked up.
What do you need from me to show I'm a "business"? I usually mark income like this on my taxes as "consulting".

?


It would be more efficient if instead of doing it each and every time, it would just change once every story that has "googling" to "google".


When you enter a store and want to prove you bought there (since it's for your business), what is the only thing you care about? Legitimate business invoices. Everything else is not my business (no pun intended). I need to prove I paid X by having an invoice from your business that declares X was paid to your business by my business.

Tags are entered by the rabble, not the story writers/editors (although they can participate as rabble I suppose). Slashdot is controlled chaos. Problem with putting it into the editor is there is no sid until the story is saved so I have nowhere to store them such as between previews.
Perhaps. It's a future feature so I'm sure there will be others who would want the aggregate 'google' and the subaggregates 'google' and 'googling' to show up in their tag clouds. Answering your question before I was still considering all sides.
Office stores sell invoice blanks. And wouldn't a paypal email receipt be worth just as much printed out as one of those invoice blanks?

I will be talking to my accountant about it next week. The calendar gig is potentially a lot more income than my "consulting" fees of the past.

What's a "rabble"?


That's also true for the story's title, introtext, bodytext, featured or not, and everything else a story has. They're just passed around as $_POST paramters.


Of course office stores can't and have no legal right to check who they sell to. Therefore your signature is the difference maker. Only a business has the legal right to sign those blank invoices.

Can you fake a business signature? In general, you can fake anything. But at least where I live I can check your business in a governmental site (or just count on you to show me a printed governmental license). Internationally it's another story, because I don't know how to check you in your country. So internationally it's just a matter of trust. If you do fool me and my IRS one day tells me they're on to you, they will no longer accept my payments to you as business expences and I'll have to pay taxes for my payments to you (read: it won't screw you directly, but indirectly I'll no longer pay you in the future).

The great unwashed? Your users. Have you seen slashdot?
Yeah, but there's a big difference between writing something that understands 2 parameters (id and type) versus something that understands all the ins and outs of story edit/save/preview/submission etc. That's why the story has to be saved before there can be tags.

Now, I am back from the summer.

Just added $200 to Dirk's Paypal account.

Hope it went through.

Thanks for all your cooperation!

Sam

We're up to $720 now.

Has this happened yet? If this Calendar Mod/Update allows for email reminders & Recurring events I'll chip in $20.00!

Thanks!

It's not ready now. It will be done by the end of the year. Right now its in the process of being developed. You can help by donating through PayPal at the information below.

Done! Thanks! Can't wait to see it finished.

It's getting close to the end of the year and I was just wondering how it's going on this???

See jmucchiello forum post here:

You could also pm him for information on the test site.

Yeah, my wife broke her elbow and that put some serious limitations on my freetime for about a month and a half. She's nearly done with physical therapy, now. So things have returned to normal around here.

One person has asked for their money back. Down to $690 now.

bye, Dirk

I understand.

Another person asked for their money back. Down to $490 now.

bye, Dirk

Unfortunate. But not unexpected. I hope to put something out shortly after 1.5.1 is final. It won't have recurring events but all the other features are hopefully still working. Some of the required features have been working for over a year. It's my own fault for not going with a frequent release methodology.

Two more people have asked for their money back. One has already received it and I'm waiting to hear back from the other person.

Current sum: $390, probably going down to $215 soon.

bye, Dirk
