Description
We are using the mailhandler module and we want to use hash tags (#tag1, #tag2) instead of the tags notation (taxonomy: [tag1, tag2] that mailhandler has now. Right now this is harcoded in the mailhandler. We want to move the notation into the module's administration. We are wondering if we should submit a patch for this and if so it could be useful for other people using mailhandler. Thanks!
#1
Moving this to the Mailhandler issue queue.
#2
If you think it could be useful to other people, please submit a patch (especially if you already did it in your own implementation).
You may want to discuss the idea here, prior to working on the patch, because I'm not sure it's a much needed feature.
#3
I like the idea of hashtag support in Mailhandler. It seems like many people are familiar with hashtags from Twitter, and in any case tagging something with
#drupal #usabilityis much easier thantaxonomy[1]: [drupal, usability].If sites want to turn hashtags in the node body into links the way Twitter does, an additional filter module would also be required for rendering the hashtags.
I haven't tried yet but presumably it should also be possible to make a small plugin module to add hashtag support to Mailhandler, in which case this could be won't-fixed.
#4
Using hashtags as taxonomy commands in mailhandler, in addition to the current syntax, should be rather easy. However, if this feature is to be used as a filter on a node's body field, then a filter is needed as well, in which case, a module should be dedicated to it, IMHO, which can also include the right mailhandler hook, as mfb mentioned.
#5
It is something I was just looking for: as a module would be a fine way to do it. It does seem easier, and seems to be what people expect.
