Tagging a tag extension request.

duman

While writing a post, I find myself typing "... if xyz, open a new discussion at Developer -> Bugs tag." Instead of that just like user tagging @duman can we do @developer/Bugs so that the extension will grab CSS colors of those tags (optional) and make it clickable. So that wherever you click on the generated tag it'll redirect you to Developer -> Bugs tag. Basically, tagging a tag in a post.

Is it doable? I don't know if Support is the right topic. If not move it please. ?

Nice idea! But what if someone's username is the same as the name of a tag? Maybe #Developer

duman

Justice Yes maybe with a different character # suits best for this job.

That would be nice. # makes sense, just like in Discord.

clarkwinkelmann Can you do it? I know that you're developing extensions for some money. If you're interested in, how much would it cost for me? Thanks in advance.

clarkwinkelmann

duman I just had a quick look and it doesn't look too complicated to add (If we talk about #tag being replaced with a styled block just like the one in the "renamed" post type like we see above when jordan changed tags).

I guess it's possible to have something working in less than 2 or 3 hours of work. Contact me via https://clarkwinkelmann.com/flarum (email in sidebar) if you want to discuss pricing.

This should be added to flarum-ext-tags, clarkwinkelmann if you'd be willing to pr that would be great. Otherwise I'll just lift it off of your extension at some point ?

luceos I have no plan to do it for free right now, but if I create it for somebody and they allow me to release it under the MIT license, the core extension can take it, no problem ?

I love the idea of the #tag , it gives us the a good chance to improve onpage SEO.

Should be very possible, if I'm not mistaken the GitHub Autolink extension had this in mind at some point in time. ?
