Add tags to sessions #26

Closed anekola closed 11 years ago

anekola commented 11 years ago

With the ability of tagging sessions, we can use the tags to generate related sessions on each page.

Additionally, we'd like the same taxonomy to appear on Student Newsroom posts, so we can provide related content on the session pages too.

@jeremiahnpatterson - How would you like to manage the tags? Should they be in the spreadsheet or would you like to manage them in WordPress?

@anekola Let's keep it in the spreadsheet as well...

anekola commented 11 years ago

The trick with keeping them in the spreadsheet will be that you'll need to make sure there are no spelling errors or inconsistencies; although Daniel should be able to program against some of these. Ex: "Social Media", "Social media" "social-media." Although, it is possible to program dropdown menus into a Google spreadsheet, to help curb user errors (see: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U2I_5tIV-Cc)

@jeremiahnpatterson If you have a list of tags you'll be using, it may be beneficial to share that here; just so we have a shared record of it.

Yep, I knew that'd be the case. @jeannebrooks and I will be establishing a list of rules (more or less) for using the spreadsheet.

@anekola we have a list that we've used so far, though we may need to trim. I'll have to collect them to post here.

It was easy to build this into WordPress. If you visit a session page in the admin on the dev site, you'll notice that you can tag sessions. The post and session templates have been updated to pull in those types of content with similar tags.
