Making Use of Yii Taggable

[larry-tx]

After our initial minor glitch, I've got your extension working. Many thanks for all your hard work!

Now, I'm trying to make use of it and hope you can provide some additional help. Tags, in my experience, have generally had two purposes:

• To provide a tag cloud that represents tag frequency by font size with links such that the user can click on a tag and display a list of models that have that tag
• Independent of such a tag cloud, have a search facility by tag. Of course, in the case of Yii, that search facility would integrate seamlessly with the standard and advanced search functionality such as is found in the admin view.

Since, without such functionality, your extension wouldn't be of much use, I'm sure you've worked through both of those issues. For me to try to develop the functionality would certainly be a duplication of effort as well as being non-trivial (and a violation of the whole purpose of a framework which is to avoid coding as much as possible). In addition, all of the tag cloud extensions that I could find require a frequency column, something that your extension lacks. Could you share what you've developed in this regard?

If you could add some wiki pages to GitHub or some additional functionality to your extension, it would make it truly useful! Again, many thanks for all your efforts.

Hi LarryTX,

Thanks again for great feedback!

I need some more time in order to answer you thoroughly, I did not forget about you =) just need some time...

Any idea whether you're going to do anything further with the extension. It would be helpful if you could, at least, at a count field to the model so that it could feed that to a tag cloud.
