I'm playing around a bit with tags. Choose a word to tag a page (topic). With time a "cloud" will be created with different tags. The cloud might be used as an alternative navigation to find topics you're interested of. Tags is one of the new features in XLTV2. However, this is just to show you how it will work..... see it as "training". :) Questions in this thread, please.... |

i don't understand how it works |

Cool concept, but you should probably remove that "powered by Wanabo". At least just put it on the bottom of the site :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
"Site Index" is the cloud which is created by all the tags from the visitors. You can use the cloud to find topics related to the tag. |

impakt: unfortunately i'm not allowed to remove "Powered by..." xltv2 will prolly use another similiar system anyway. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I don't have a good feeling about this. |
||||||||
|
|

The tags ain't the same when you first come on the board and when you come on the index via the index button |

they have different urls that's all |

redrumisgay, well that didn't take long |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

Ah yeah, you could probably write a function that generated key-words/tags by itself from the initial/first post. Would probably be even more accurate than human-made ones. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
if you have never seen the concept "tags" before then i fully understand the confusion it might bring... but give it some time and don't critize it right away.... fyi, "tags" will be more discrete in xltv2, but highly accessable for the users who wants to use an alternative way to find information. the current integration shouldn't be taken too seriously. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
then what would be the point compared to a regular search? the point is to create a human association of the topic. if you have a topic on "bola" .... then it might be useful to tag the topic with words like "darrel", "fitton" or/and "jello" althought those words are not located in the thread and thereby wouldnt be found using a search engine. it's the human association which could make a difference here... as long as we keep the cloud healthy, the more useful it will be. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
as you can see the cloud is already cluttered with irrelevant tags on this particular topic, which confuses things, but that's quite natural in the beginning...... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I've absolutely no fucking idea what this is at all but I applaud it none the less. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
unfortunately it seems like the premature behaviour might force the concept to be abandoned. which is a shame really. |
||||||||
|
|

|
we're like kids who got a new toy =] |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
sounds like granular word collections |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ehhh... ok, let me see if I get this... when in a topic that actually is about something, we click "tag this page" and add a tag for what it is about or what the topic contains. We will then, if everyone uses these tags correctly, be able to find the topics and any other topics that contain information about whatever the tag is..? so if I click a topic about mastering and tag it "mastering," people will be able to click the tag for mastering and find that topic +other topics that have been tagged "mastering"..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, I think you need do a thread explaining WHAT ARE TAGS HOW THEY WORK HOW TO BE RESPONSIBLE USING TAGS ETC then, 8 weeks later, introduce tags. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it will only find other topics with the same tag. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, that's why I suggest computer-generated tags. A large majority of the forum will probably just make "funny" tags instead of using it seriously, at least in the starting phase. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
funnily enough, the possibility of being funny using the tags disappeared even before the tags were implemented. just look at how predictably they are being used for "humour." |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yes, so if people use them correctly, they will quite possibly be a great tool! good work, but I don't think you can rely on people using them correctly... you should only give certain people access to them, I think... not only the mods, though, as that would be too few for it to be effective, but take people that.. you know.. don't fuck about... |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it IS possible to automatically generate tags based on page content. "the starting phase...." <--- true |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
maybe create a new field when creating a topic in which one can enter a keyword for the topic that would automatically be the first tag? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
it IS a useful tool. the purpose is not to replace the mb index page or the search engine. just an alternative way of finding relevant information. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is actually a good idea.. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
here's an idea - how's about only the thread creator or mods can assign tags to a thread, and nobody can assign tags to the index page? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
another example: why not tag all radioshow-topics with a "radioshow" or "liveshow" tags? it would simplify things a lot. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Yes, I know. That's why I suggested it :p |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
yeah and maybe you could have the auto-generated discog threads auto-generate tags with the artist name, catalogue number and such..? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
oooo! the site index thingie has larger text the more sites there are in the tag.. qrter is quite big already. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the mb index page won't have a tag-index in the future..... that's totally irrelevant. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Dammit, I just typed in a load of relevant ones! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this doesn't work very well yet, as everyone is seems to be tagging the main page. |

| |||||||||
|
|
Yeah, it's failing. I can't be bothered to keep tagging relevant things to just have people putting qrterz, gigingerz, roxxorz, gayz. Defeats the point. |
||||||||
|

|
i clicked cocks and nothing happened |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ah, yes, unfortunately it seems to rely on javascript.. enable that, and it should work. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
mm, i have, it was tagged to xltronic.com/mb instead of a topic though hehe, like we're all cocks |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
this is a very good idea (aside from the obvious abuse) are the 4 or 5 listed on the left the most recently tagged? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
aaand they're gone. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
^^^ woa |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i taged this topic tags :) |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
ahh i see... neat |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
o, wait, they're back |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dunno just how useful these will be. but i hope they stay and you work out a way to keep it clean. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
This is a good idea.......... even if people abuse it (before they get bored and go back to slagging off tridenti), it still should work if at least some people tag responsibly. |
