Another week closer to the 1.1 release = another preview 🎉
This time we'll be presenting another new feature.... Tags!
Forum Tags
Gone are the days of chaos, forum tags allow your users and moderators to apply tags to topics so users can find content they'd like to see much easier.
Configuration
Forum tags can be defined on multiple levels:
Global tags
Forum specific tags
Additionally, tags can be inherited from parent forums, allowing you to create complex hierarchies of tags, or automatically adding tags to an entire subsection of your forum.
Tags can also be marked as default which automatically adds the tag to any new topics in the forum, very helpful for creating simple workflows or as an extension to support boards.
Plugin Developer Notes
While forum tags aren't a generic system, this feature does come with a new re-usable component for plugin developers, the "forum_tag".
Example usage:
{% include '@Forumify/frontend/forum/forum_tag.html.twig' with { tag: {
color: '#FFFF00',
title: 'My Tag',
} } only %}
Final Words
We have a lot of future ideas planned for these tags. For now it's only visual "flair", but some ideas that immediately come to mind is the possibility to search/filter for content with a particular tag, build workflows using tags, add automations based on tags or automatically tag topics using automations,...
If you have any more ideas, make sure to let us know! We're always looking for feedback and ideas to help your community stand out!
