This is a tag manager with tag cloud feature. Leave your comments on this plugin. (Tagger v0.5a)[http://silentworks.co.uk/notepad/wp-content/uploads/2008/07/tagger_05a.zip]

Jul 8, 2008 14:30 David 963 posts	@easylancer - I'm away for the next few days -- will get it on the "User Plugins" page come the weekend. Thanks for persevering!

But I have a problem when I click on a tag it shows me the next window with articles containing current tag ... but if I'll write a tag for example in other section of my web site (for example 'projects') it generates link to the 'articles" page not to the 'projects'. Or this plugin only designed to work with ARTICLES?

Jul 10, 2008 05:29 easylancer 68 posts	As stated above in my first post, this only works with articles. I will try to impliment it to work with other parts if the website in the future, but at the moment its only articles.

Jul 12, 2008 15:30 easylancer 68 posts	Ok i have updated the last version a bit, just some added options and now also a autoinstaller for frog 0.9.3. This is avaliable here Tagger 0.6a The snippet will automatically install the tag cloud but you can use tag list now aswell. Please read the readme.txt.

Jul 13, 2008 05:19 karlim 15 posts	Fatal error: Class 'Record' not found in G:\a\www\frog-0.9.2\tagger\install.php on line 2 when install,it shown that like above

Jul 19, 2008 07:36 easylancer 68 posts	Hi Karlim, i can't seem to replicate this problem. Anyone else have the same problem as Karlim? please let me know.

Jul 19, 2008 08:59 David 963 posts	w00t! :) Fabulous! I'm not sure how the synergy worked between all of you plugging away (pun, sorry) on making tag-links work, but this is great. @easylancer - everything (impressive "autoinstall"!) worked perfectly for me - results visible on my Articles page. I just need to see why the CSS is nudging the bullet list a bit too far to the right.

Jul 19, 2008 09:15 David 963 posts	@easylancer - was there a reason for doubly-enclosing the tag list in `<ul>...</ul>` delimiters, so that there was a list-within-a-list? I think the default snippet code was: `<h3>Tag Cloud</h3> <ul id="tagger"> <?php tagger('cloud'); ?> </ul>` But the `tagger` function seems to create a list already, so the outer `ul` pair is surplus to requirements. I couldn't find where tagger.php was producing the list, though! Some secret place! Anyway, this is working great. It would be nice to see it develop to include all pages, but meanwhile this is really helpful. Thanks!

Jul 19, 2008 10:07 easylancer 68 posts	Good find David, i will remove that now and upload it again.

Jul 19, 2008 11:14 easylancer 68 posts	Yep i have reached Beta stage 1 with Tagger, now you can tag any page within the default Frog CMS setup. Get the latest version of Tagger now Let me know what you think of this latest version people and if you have any ideas which could be implimented to improve tagger even more.

Jul 19, 2008 11:57 David 963 posts	Hi e.l.! Nice update. :) I've plugged it in, turned it on, and enjoyed the taggy goodness! A few things caught my eye, just in the "tweak" category: When updating the plugin, a new "Tags" page is created, but not a new snippet. It would be nice not to have the Tags page duplicated -- is there a way of testing to see if it is present? or put a note about this in the readme? The plugin's index.php page needs to be updated! :) I changed mine to: 'description' => 'Tag cloud plugin in beta stage.', 'version' => '1.0β', should the `'require_frog_version' => '0.9.2'` be `0.9.2+`? (I'm running 0.9.3) or is that implied? in the Tags page where you have `echo "There is no items with this tag.";` I suspect you mean `echo "There are no items with this tag.";` ;) Thanks again for the great work!

Jul 19, 2008 12:19 David 963 posts	P.s. That `β` was really `β`, btw. But you probably knew that.

Jul 19, 2008 14:57 easylancer 68 posts	Ok all the glitches that David posted are fixed now and i fixed another bug. get the latest version from post above. Thanks for testing David.

Jul 19, 2008 15:57 David 963 posts	... and added to the MadeByFrog user contributed plugins page, too! (Finally!)

Jul 19, 2008 16:55 easylancer 68 posts	Yes finally David remembered to add it to Made By Frog user contributed plugins page. I will add in more features in the future when i get more time.

Aug 4, 2008 08:15 jMas 55 posts	Not worked whith UTF8 Russian language... And maybe whith others.... (((

Aug 4, 2008 08:25 easylancer 68 posts	I only speak English and i'm not sure why it wouldn't work with UTF8 Russian language since i am not defining any encoding type in my code. I think that would be a Frog CMS Issue.

Aug 4, 2008 08:26 David 963 posts	?? It works fine on my Frog site, jMas. Is your Frog mySQL db set for UTF8? I expect so, but thought I would ask! You can tell me if my one Russian tag makes sense! :)

Aug 5, 2008 02:57 jMas 55 posts	Hellow, this problem only(or not) whith Firefox. It encode Russian chars in to http://[mysite].org.ua/?tags/%D0%A2%D1%8D%D0%B3 I think that better, if Tagger is understood this string. ;)

Aug 5, 2008 04:27 David 963 posts	Hi jMas - Things seem different for me with Firefox -- here is a screencapture: I did get the result you describe with IE6, though. I think that this is a browser issue, not a Tagger issue! Others might have different experience of this, though.

Aug 5, 2008 06:09 mvdkleijn 458 posts	Things you could check: Are you using character encoding set to UTF-8? (firefox: View->Character Encoding->Unicode (UTF-8)) Are you using a character encoding->auto-detect setting? Sometimes the browser trying to be smart conflicts with the actual content. Try to change the browser's setting for auto-detect. As for internationalized programming, I've had quite some experience on this matter in Java and I can tell you that doing it properly is still tricky. So for the programmers out there: Make sure every HTTP response to the browser defines the document to be UTF-8 (something Frog and many plugins are not doing at the moment I think) Interpret all GET and POST parameters as UTF-8 strings. (in PHP this is NOT the same as a normal string) Interpret all URIs and URLs as UTF-8 strings. Treat all strings that should be outputted to the browser as UTF-8 strings. Please note: PHP (especially php4) is a little handicapped in the way it handles strings. You have to be very careful how you handle them when using UTF-8 due to the fact that UTF-8 characters are so-called multi-byte characters (i.e. one character does NOT equal one byte). The "classic" string based on (usually) ASCII values is single-byte... Now imagine: a 8 character UTF-8 string suddenly becomes a 16-byte string... what does the strlen() fuction return? 8 or 16? ;-)
