  • What it does

    Item Tags lets users add tags, or keywords, to items. Clicking a tag lists everything with that tag, across the whole site. A tag cloud shows the most used tags, larger the more they're used.

    ACP > Modules > Item Features > Item Tags

  • Setting it up

    In Quota Config:

    • Allowed on Profile: members of this quota can add tags.
    • Show on Detail Pages: this quota's items show a tags section, where tags are added.
    • Tag Own Items Only: members can only tag their own items. Otherwise, they can tag any item.

  • Using tags

    On an item's page, users type a tag in the tags section and add it. Each tag links to yoursite.com/tags/(tag), which lists every item with that tag. Profiles have their own tag cloud, and the Tag Cloud widget puts one on a Site Builder page.

    Admins aren't limited by the wait timer, word count or length.

  • Global Config

    Setting What it does
    Tag Wait Timer Minutes a user must wait before adding another tag (default 1)
    Max Tag Words The most words in one tag (default 3)
    Max Tag Length The most characters in one tag (default 50, at most 254)
    Pagebreak Items per page on a tag's page (default 12)
    Enable Tag Cloud Shows tag clouds. Turn off to keep tags and tag search without clouds. (Default: on)
