Implemented Tags, Tags System, Tag Cloud

[jörg]

hello bob,

is theire a chance, that we become a tagsystem for the showcase? i need tags on my database and it where so nice, if you can add a system for your showcase.

I can't remember if this has been requested/rejected before or not, but it IS something that is on my whiteboard, so its stands a good chance at being added to the core addon.

No. All the features/functionality that will be in 2.0.0 have been marked as 'Implemented 2.0.0'.

Tags will be in the next x.X.x release... ie 2.1.0

Also would highly appreciate this feature!

For those of you that have been waiting for tags, this is pretty close to being ready for release (could be available in the next maintenance release if all goes well).

sneak peek/teaser...



This is the same page as above, cept you can see that I've filtered the results to only display items tagged with "1969" that have been "featured" and have the prefix "For Sale"

Hello @Bob B , I really like the way you have implemented the tags in Showcase.

Do you have any plans to allow us to further customise the tag cloud? Specifically I would love to see an option to reorder the tag cloud so the most recently applied tags show first.

Would also love to see an alternative list view of all tags in place of the full tag cloud page...

I would love to see an option to reorder the tag cloud so the most recently applied tags show first.

When you have time, can you start a new suggestion thread just for this one idea and explain it in more detail (to include if you are refering to the MAIN CLOUD PAGE or the Tag Cloud Sidebar Blocks). More details the better.

Would also love to see an alternative list view of all tags in place of the full tag cloud page...

I'll need you to create a suggestion thread for this as well along with MUCH more detail as I don't have a clue what you are asking for here.
