Description

Hi there,

I saw this module and thought it was exactly what I was looking for until I read in the documentation that it does not work on "tag" type vocabularies. Is there a technical reason why this is so?

I would love to see support for "tag" vocabs added - ie the module would check the node's content against the existing list of tags and add tags to the node as appropriate.

Cheers

It isn't technical, it's purely down to the workflow. How would you add a term to a tag vocabulary? The Autotag module would prevent you from adding any additional terms to the vocabulary.

@sdrycroft:

How would you add a term to a tag vocabulary?

The same way as you add term to a non-tag vocabulary...? :]

Why not to let admin decide then, what vocabulary he wants
to autotag?

Or, from within a content type where autotagging is turned off. I'd like to add tags/terms in one content type, but then have them another content type autotagged if those terms appear within it.

I guess the workaround is to create a vocabulary called "predefined tags". Disadvantage is that I cannot create new tags when creating new content of the first content type. I have to go into taxonomy to create new terms.
