| What are Tags? |
|
Tags at the simplest level involve adding a space separated list to a Channel or an Article. A unique tag name helps user to view all the articles posted with same tag name. MyWebdunia features the ability to tag your articles or channels and, those tags are then displayed underneath respective article or channel.
Channel tagging
MyWebdunia allows you to add tags to channels, again by specifying a space separated list of tags when you edit the channel. Thereafter, whenever an article is placed under a tagged channel, it picks up the tags belonging to all of its channels. In effect, this provides a way to bulk tag all articles in a particular channel.
Article tagging
Articles can be tagged separately dispite of being tagged by its channel. Such articles have both tags: tagged by channel as well as by article. When you publish your article, the tags will be listed with it. Clicking any of the tag will take you to a page containing only posts with that tag.
Tagcloud
MyWebdunia automatically generates and maintains a tagcloud, which you can see by clicking the Tags link in the sidebar. The size of a link provides an indication of the relative numbers of entries that use that tag, while hovering over it shows the actual number. Clicking the link will take you to a list of all entries using that tag.
Tag-based feeds
Each tag has an associated RSS/Atom feed, allowing readers to subscribe to only those tags they are interested in. For example, the newsfeed URL for your 'help' tag of this portal are as follows.
Problems?
If your tagcloud doesn't seem to be accurately reflecting how you've tagged your entries, you might need to reindex your portal. Go to Admin > Utilities > Reindex.
