Tags that members can add themselves

Bishwas-py

If a user wanna post for a specific topic, like: Django-CMS but the primary tags we have are Programming > Django. And we can't ourselves multiple tags ourselves. The tags should be addable by users/members, something like this in our old Vanilla forum. I think a extension for this will really be helpful.

WHY ISN'T ANYONE REPLYING? THIS IS FRUSTRATING!

Bishwas-py bumping your own posts to demand an answer, especially with ALL CAPS (this is perceived as shouting on the internet) is not going to get you what you want.

Please be patient, our team constantly reads these discussions but they don't always have time to reply immediately. While you're waiting, please review the Community Guidelines so that you're helping yourself to be a positive member of our Flarum Community.

And in the future, please don't bump your own replies within a reasonable time (at least 3 days).

Please be patient, the community isn't always around and we got to sleep and work etc.

If I understand this correctly, you want your users to have the ability to create a tag for a discussion themselves?

As far as I know, this is not possible in Flarum and I've seen no extension do that yet. Developing one doesn't seem to be too hard though, it could just extend the Tags extension, without any extra settings (like permissions, secondary tags, etc. - just a plain label). The tag would be stored in additional column in the database - user_tag. Possibly, you could filter certain phrases in user tags, or view all user tags in one place for moderation. That's just my idea

Overall, a cool idea and I like it. If I knew PHP, I would develop it :)

SKevo There have been hashtag extensions in the past that allow for finding post by those. Not what's being asked for here but this idea to some extent has been created in the past. Now that we're in stable extensions like this should last much longer and our ecosystem will continue to expand.

The Taxonomies extension allows user-created taxonomies. This can be used in place or parallel to Tags.

However the Taxonomies extension isn't ready for use yet. There's the old fof/taxonomies package for beta 13 and the new flamarkt/taxonomies package which is partially ready for beta 16 and will be officially released for Flarum 1.0 in a few weeks.

I'm hoping to have that package ready soon because it's been a while I talk about it and there's still no discussion for it on the forums since no stable release of the extension was ever finished. But it's coming 😇
