Question

I'm running TagMePlugin 20 May 2006 (V1.009). The problem is that tags on topics in a subweb don't seem to be working.

So I've got tags in the WebLeftBar.

If I add a tag to a topic, it looks like it works.

I add another tag, only the new tag shows.

I load the page from the index, and all tags are gone!

I use the Tags display to locate that topic, and it lists only the first tag for that topic.

There is a slightly newer version, but the notes don't list subweb improvements.

I'll upgrade tonight, but I thought to submit the report anyway.

Second part, likely related or I can open a second ticket.

Performing showalltags in a subweb, the web parameter must be specified with the subweb name using a period, or nothing is displayed.

For example:

%TAGME{ tpaction="showalltags" web="My.Subweb" .....

Without the web parameter, its blank.

If you answer a question - or someone answered one of your questions - please remember to edit the page and set the status to answered. The status selector is below the edit box.

That is a known bug, see TagMePluginFailsOnSubWebs, and TagMePluginDev, my note on 06 Apr 2006.

Your post on 06 Apr 2006 is in TagMePluginDevArchive.

It also said that problem was fixed on 09 May 2006, are you sure this is the same problem?

I also verified I'm running 1.010, turns out the plugin info is wrong or wasn't updated.

The patch you discussed is in my TagMePlugin.pm:

sub writeTagInfo
{
    my( $webTopic, @info ) = @_;
    $webTopic =~ s/\//\./;
    my $file = "$attachDir/_tags_$webTopic.txt";

I show that the tag file is there and intact, its just it won't add more than one tag to a topic and they don't display right.

Yes, you are right, there is another bug lurking. Let me investigate...

OK, here is the fix, indicated in red:

# =========================
sub readTagInfo
{
    my( $webTopic ) = @_;
    $webTopic =~ s/[\/\\]/\./;
    my $text = TWiki::Func::readFile( "$attachDir/_tags_$webTopic.txt" );
    my @info = grep{ /^[0-9]/ } split( /\n/, $text );
    return @info;
}

# =========================
sub writeTagInfo
{
    my( $webTopic, @info ) = @_;
    $webTopic =~ s/[\/\\]/\./;
    my $file = "$attachDir/_tags_$webTopic.txt";
    if( scalar @info ) {
        my $text = "# This file is generated, do not edit\n"
                 . join( "\n", reverse sort @info ) . "\n";
        TWiki::Func::saveFile( $file, $text );
    } elsif( -e $file ) {
        unlink( $file );
    }
}

The second item should be already in the code. I will update the TagMePlugin.

I've patched my local copy, I'll begin testing it immediately. Thank you for your help!

Both problems appear to have been resolved. I'll reopen if I find any additional errors. Thanks for your quick response! Viva la TWiki!
