Tagging non author users to an image

Just give permissions for world + dog to change your taxonomy terms:

1) mark "image" as one possible content type for your taxonomy, here: admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/#
and 2) mark the users you'd like to give permissions to, under "administer taxonomy", here:
admin/user/access

(although I'm not sure about #2, as I don't give my loyal readership access to change anything at all.)

I. Go to your site.
Log in as admin.

II. Go to the address yoursite.com/admin/content/taxonomy
Select the vocabulary you would like to change - it's a number (#) - could be 1, 2, 3, 4 ...
You're now at the address yoursite.com/admin/content/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/# (put 1, 2, 3, 4 ... instead of the #)
Add [x] next to "Image", in the possible content types for this vocabulary.

III. Go to the address yoursite.com/admin/user/access
Select the user type who should get access to your taxonomy.

TEST things first: point III might mean that you're handing the keys to your site to world+dog ...

_{Note, if you're not on clean URLs, you'll need to put ? (or something - it's all over your site, in front of EVERY directory and file) in front of the /admin... directory names.}

Hetta - Taxonomy is interesting, but it doesn't help the idea of a relationship on the node connecting it to the user.

Rob3rt wants a
photo1 -> user1
photo1 -> user2

You are proposing a solution based on
photo1 -> the word "user1" as a taxonomy term
photo1 -> the word "user2" as a taxonomy term

Your idea is interesting and has some advantages (like built in RSS feeds for a user) but has the drawback of not actually connecting users to the images. Depending on the ultimate reason to do this (sending emails to the user that has just been tagged) It would require some way to associate users to those tags.

@Rob3rt - I think your idea would be better solved as a separate module where people can generically create relationships between nodes and users. Something like the cck user reference field. However you need a solution where you can let someone edit the user relationships but not the rest of the node. If this were done in a generic way it could be used for images but also for other kinds of content (movies, songs, blog posts about an event where you "tag" the people who were at the event). I'm marking this as "won't fix" because I don't think it should be solved inside of the image module. I am creating this as a GHOP task - perhaps one of them will pick it up: http://drupal.org/node/200038

Ah - so what's needed is to add the user data to taxonomy, and make it sticky at the top of lists ... which is a problem for taxonomy, not image.

(I use taxonomy to tag things all the time. Check this, for instance: www.henriettesherbal.com/plants/hypericum-perforatum - that's all images and book pages which are tagged "Hypericum perforatum".

Works a treat ...)

as i don't know more about php or js, but i can explain others, how they can make a module for this kind of feature.
Since there are many modules for serving same kind of functionality. but neither one for this purpose, i know many of people are looking for this feature. so if any one who knows programming, i can tell how he could make this.

A. http://code.google.com/p/jquery-image-annotate/

demo : http://www.flipbit.co.uk/jquery-image-annotation.html

B. http://www.fotonotes.net/

with this two tools you can tag faces on image but for user references functionality you must have to use user references field or Tag User module.

AKA : write a module by using one of tool, that i mentioned above & then integrate it with user references field or Tag User module. ]

Thanx.

Closing again.

Thanks for the advice and the links -- but this isn't something that will be handled in this module.
