retag() Method retags whole tagging_tags table

[motion-work]

I want to update a users tags. For that I am using the retag() method. The retag() method deletes the whole tagging_tags table and inserts the new tags.

Shouldn't it only update the tagging_tagged table? Or am I doing something wrong?

$user = User::find($id);
 $user->retag($request->tags);

when I tested it locally here, it inserted only new and did not delete existing. but that is some weeks ago

possibly... if all of your tags belong to this user... if you then retag.. all would be deleted, i think..

perhaps check the $user with dd($user); and check the taggable_id in the tagging_tagged table

This was happening to me as well, and it turned out to be because the tags were not used and the config value, delete_unused_tags was set to true. Setting delete_unused_tags to false resolved my problem.

on mine it says Call to a member function retag() on integer

the code $tags = array("tag 1 updte","tag 2 update"); $post = Post::find($id); $post->retag($tags);

check what $post is, with dd($post); or dump($post); And add use \Conner\Tagging\Taggable; to the Post model.

Yeah I don't know why delete_unused_tags is true by default. That should not be a default behavior. Setting that to false.
