#27 multiple topics

[iamdecal]

to allow for "tagging" etc,

i've done some preliminary work on this to modify the
current functionality.

currently anything at the start of the subject like
this [code] is used to define the topic, ive extended
this so that if you put multiple things in
like this [woo,yay,hoopla] then the post will be tagged
as such, if the tags dont exist then they are created
in the db, if the do exist then a counter for that tag
is incremented so that you can easily see how many
posts have the that tag, and search by it.

does any one have any other features that should be
added to this section?

It would be nice to have a module in the sidebar to allow you to only
display items that have a certain "tag". In fact, a module that contains a
list of "option" buttons, with the first option being "all" and then each tag
being listed as a seperate option to allow people to select what they are
viewing would be nice.

If this can be done without and DB changes then we should implement it in 1.1

Otherwise we will have todo it for 2.0.

We should ensure that when we implement multiple topic
tags we update the post.php to include this data in the
META tags for search-engine optimisation.

i agree a post by tags module is probably going to be needed
instead of or as well as posts by topic.

to my mind, tags will REPLACE topics, but thats up for
discusion i guess,

in addition i expect that clicking on a tag will return a
list of all posts with that tag

I don't see the difference between tags and topics ?
Multiple tags, multiple topics - they are the same thing
aren't they ?

To keep-in with CoMoblog terminology I would remain
calling them topics - it's just you can assign multiple
topics to a post.

CoMoblog topics = Flickr tags I guess :-)

will need db changes to do properly, so this is on hold

Initial commit has made it into 1.2 - further testing required
