Predicting tags

Auto-complete your tags

I decided to have another play with tags as I tend to use them quite a bit on my posts and I'm always forgetting which ones I've used before and which ones I haven't. So I threw together a plugin that will auto-suggest tags based on ones that you've used in the past. It'll also show you a list of all other similar tags in case you have more than one tag with the same starting letter(s) although they're not clickable at the moment because I haven't got that far.

Installation is pretty simple, just download the zip ( AM AutoTags ), upload it, install it, then meander into the plugin settings and set the tag separator for whatever your version uses. That's it. Now when you enter tags you it should try and auto complete them for you and show you a list of other tags.

NOTE : I've only tested this in FireFox as my IE is having a crisis of confidence when it comes to running javascript, so if you use IE and it doesn't work then tough shit. Also, this is a pre-release version so it's bound to have a few quirks, if you find any then just let me know and I'll see what I can do to eradicate them.

*edit* 24^th April
I think I've finally managed to convince IE that it can actually understand javascript so this should now work in IE as well, zip file updated

Nice work. The show/hide is smooth.
On the Mac, it works with Firefox, Safari but not Opera 9.50 Beta.

Now if only that same show/hide could be used for the toolbars

Gotta love x-browser

Ok I've made a few script changes so it *should* now work in opera, tested in 9.27 which I assume is latest stable, but it might work in beta. The zip file is updated so you can just download it again.

It still doesn't work in explorer ... mainly because I haven't tried particularly hard, and I still haven't made the "available tags" clickable.

Clickable tags would be a nice touch. Thanks for the update, works with my Opera Beta nicely.

Swift update.

After a load of pissing around and some pointers from Danny I *think* I've managed to get this working in IE.

The zips been updated, let me know if you have any problems

Just tried it out in IE6 and it kinda works.
When you try and select a couple of tags it just adds a comma to the tag and comma that is already there. That's IE for you

It works in FF here? About the nearest I can get to "not working" is if you click a new tag without separating it from previous tag in which case it'll replace the current tag for every click?

I've changed that behaviour as well, see if it does what you expect now?

*points to the fact that you not only missed the "reply to yabba" link, you also forgot to type yer bloody name* ... I'll make allowances for the "before coffee", but any git that's so lazy arsed to have just got up at 8am deserves slapping

*note* : it's now 23:00 ( "less than 8 hours to coffee" to aussies ) here, so feel free to take the piss whilst I sleep

Back to the plugin... what's the best way to deal with 2 worded tags?

internet-explorer or internet_explorer or internet explorer ?

I noticed that the plugin didn't pick up any double worded tags

Previous versions of the core had space separated tags, so I used "-", new style is comma separated, so I use spaces for double word tags

I can pull up double worded tags no problem ( have to type the second "r" of "pre-r[elease]" though )

Got a problem with predicting tag:
_am_autotags.plugins.php: line 48: var htsrv_url = "'.trim( $baseurl, '/' ).str_replace( '&', '&', $this->get_htsrv_url( 'am_tags_autocomplete' ) ).'";
On my installation it gives:
var htsrv_url = "http://www.domain.info/blogs/blogs/htsrv/call_plugin.php?plugin_ID=26&method=am_tags_autocomplete";

the words blogs appears 2 times.
