Solved Can't get tags for topics working using previous help posts

Post by jhathcock March 11th 2015, 17:54

Hello. I was really hoping to figure this out without having to post what appears to be an already answered question, but I am just going in circles. I am trying to add the ability to tag posts and search for them. I have searched this forum and found some information already posted. Here are the main ones that I thought would help me:
1 - https://help.forumotion.com/t131500-how-can-i-add-system-tags-keywords-in-topics-on-punbb?highlight=tags
2 - https://help.forumotion.com/t131396-how-can-i-add-system-tags-keywords-in-topics?highlight=tags
3 - https://help.forumotion.com/t138915-does-forumotion-support-tab-tags?highlight=tags
4 - https://help.forumotion.com/t108604-adding-tags-to-posts?highlight=tags
 
I am using phpBB3. I entered the JavaScript into the appropriate place (acp>modules>javascrpt>) and made sure it was active. But when I go to create a new topic, there is nowhere to add in tag words for searching. Once the page is open to compose the new post, I cannot figure out how to add the ability to put tags on it and then to search those tags. Unfortunately, I apparently cannot make heads or tails of what I am reading in the forums referenced above. Nothing is working. No matter what I put in to the JavaScript management or the CSS under Colors, the forum looks the same. I thought for a little bit that the JavaScript might have created a widget, but when I went to the widgets management, there was nothing related to tags there.


#4 appears that this is a frequently requested ability and the other posts seem to me that there have been ways to get this to work. However, I am not having much success.

Again, I apologize for asking what appears to be a question that has already been answered multiple times.

you don't need a script of anything

ACP(Admin Control Panel) > General > Messages and e-mails > Configuration > Messages > Allow keywords tags :


then you can just type something in topic like

#taggedforlater

then you can search by tags and find it

I thought that feature only applied to messages and emails. I was not aware that it applied to posts as well.

I have activated it. Just to make sure I understand: Now we just have to put a hashtag in the topic subject line for the search?

For example if I was trying to tag this topic when I first created it, I would type something like: "Can't get #tagsfortopics working using previous help posts". If I do that, I can search by tagsfortopics?

Hashtags are used in the messages.  When you do a search, you need to check the box for tags.

Is this solved now?

Example:  #cat

Now do a search with the tags box checked for cat.

Yes, it is solved. The system made me wait 50 seconds before I could mark the question as solved. Thank you again.
