Re: [xwiki-users] Use Tags as select list instead of input
Thanks Vincent for answer, I think it will perfectly fit my need ! And I agree with you Jerome for findability ... But before switching to structured tags on my wiki, what will happen if I do while many pages are already tagged, with tags not provided in the possible tags list ? Will they be removed from the tags list of these pages ?

You might want to run a cleaning script to delete all tags (or specific tags) first, then apply the change.

At first it was what I wanted to do, split tags edition in distinct categories plus a free text field for normal tags (and have everything saved in tags field), but maybe structured tags will be enough ...

Well, that's what is done in the new Blog application (categories + tags), so you could look at it and try to emulate it for other kinds of pages as well, but I'm not sure how easy it is to do...

Maybe this documentation would help:

Hi all,

First I saw that in tagedit.vm, we can change to a select list
instead of an input field for entering tags. I changed this in the
displayEdit property for XWiki.TagClass, but without effect.
In tagedit.vm we have (XWiki 1.5) :
#set($displayType =
$
xwiki
.getDocument
(XWiki.TagClass).xWikiClass.tags.getProperty('displayType').value)
#set($possibleTags = $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues)
First line is ok and says select, but $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues is
always empty ...
So my question is : where is defined the list of possible tags for
page(s) ? I though it was the tags field of page XWiki.TagClass,
but it seems it's not ...
I didn't even know this feature! I checked the code of
getTagsPossibleValues in XWikiDocument.java
(http://fisheye2.atlassian.com/browse/~raw,r=11430/xwiki/xwiki-
platform/core/trunk/xwiki-core/src/main/java/com/xpn/xwiki/doc/
XWikiDocument.java),
the list is constructed based of pipe-separated values in the tags
property of XWiki.TagClass (this is the moment I discovered that tags
are stored as a static list, too ;))
So if you say tag1|tag2|tag3 here, this is what
$doc.tagsPossibleValues will return you (as a list).
Hope this helps.
When you successfully do have the tags displayed as a select list with
finished list of possible values, what would be cool is that you
create
a FAQ entry for it to explain how you did.
Cheers,
Jerome.
Thanks for help,

Indeed, it's all there, so this make the FAQ entry useless.
I could not find it (nor a link to it) in the 2 places I looked for:
- Features on enterprise.xwiki.org
- search for tags (ok, the tag application is on the second result
page and I did not click, bad assumption from me here)
All that to say 2 things (which are actually almost the same) :
- It's not natural to look for user documentation on code.xwiki.org
- We need more internal links. Mainly because our search is not yet 100%
relevant, and because it's not natural to look for user documentation in
application space on code.xwiki.org. I would have been able to find it
if it were linked from the Features space, ;ike:
Features - Organize your documents (Spaces and Tags) - Tag
application on code.xwiki.org
Just to brainstorm on documentation findability,
Jerome.
Thanks
