( This topic is related to a C7 topic & comments. Cobalt evolves to fast ;-) )

C7 - Tags - input and GUI like AutoComplete fields ?

Please, read Comments area with several ideas and thoughts.

Sergey's new tags project for Cobalt9 on GitHub. See Demo in action.

EDIT: Summary of feature requests for Tags component and frontend display.

  • Tags overview/index page as menu item

Would be cool to have a tags menuitem type. Or extended Tags module. Something that allows to generate a tags overview. Maybe with A-Z grouping, popularity, latest etc.

e.g. http://stackapps.com/tags

  • Pre-Defined Tags, Tag-Sets per section or type

Also like the idea to have a list of PRE-DEFINED tag terms. Good for equal and more precise tags. Working-modes: Suggest only created terms of current user; of pre-defined section tags, free tagging

e.g. K2, Drupal taxonomy

  • Input placeholder text, visual help

In general, AutoComplete fields benefit of a visual hint or inline text. A single + icon graphic is not enough for an average enduser. Something like three dots "...+" or a text hint "type here..." or "add new..." is easier to understand.

Tags page looks good. But there is tag follow feature :) You pull light thread, and it dump on you the track of stones.

So summary is this.

  1. In Cobalt 9 we will use our new Tags input and at the same time list element.

  2. Perhaps create Tags layout with search and descriptions options. Which lead to ability to add description field to tags in backend.
