Eliminate "Choose Tags for Your Discussion" screen?

orschiro

Hi all,

Is it somehow possible to get rid of the blow screen?

I only want mods and admins to assign tags once discussions got created.

Thank you!

orschiro I believe this modal pops up when the requirements haven't been met for posting. I think in the tags settings you can choose how many primary & secondary tags are required before posting a discussion. In this case you'd set both to 0 and prevent users from posting in any of the tags (with only post perms for global)

datitisev I thought I had it set up this way but it doesn't seem to work.

I just tested on nightly. I feel a confusion, this is a good catch IMO:

If you don't require any tag (eg. 0 to 2 or even 0 to 0 for both primary & secondary), the user can post without any tag but will see the tag prompt and will have to confirm without having selected anything.

I think there should be three scenarios here:

tag requirements > 0 : always show the tag prompt
tag requirements >= 0 : show a less invasive prompt (like: "do you want to add tags to your discussion?" etc. with buttons according to the choices)
tag requirements == 0 : no prompt at all

As of your use case @orschiro it would still be insufficient: in case of a tag requirements >= 0 (0 for users and >0 for admins), you couldn't get rid of a minimal prompt without an extension which would for example create a general permission to use tags.

A workaround would be to set a tag requirements == 0 ("0 to 0" for both tag types) and, as an admin, to always check "bypass tag requirements" when editing the posts. You could do this right now, but there is still a little issue to fix (the tag prompt appears even when 0 to 0 tag possible)

Going to try this one, thanks!
