I want to enter things like "I, Robot" as a tag, or maybe authors (Asimov, Isaac) as a single tag. I noticed this can't be done either by typing the phrase, neither by enclosing it in quotes.

Don't know if this is a "bug" or a "feature request" =) Leaving it at "feature request".

Hmm, in fact this would be a bug, because the help text directly states "Company, Inc." as an example =)

This aint a bug, as
"company, Inc." works, but this would become to tags "compony" and "Inc."

Comma ist the only seperator used and this is the complete common seperator in all systems.

I dont think tags need commas, as tags are NO sentences, and thats the only place where you need commas. So sorry, this is a nofix until you convince me not :)

Hi Janus,

the design seems to be broken in your installation

Is that the safari browser? Could you make screenshot of everthing including the suggestions?

Thanks!

I actually changed the discription to be more precise

(Just reinstalled the module, 6.x-1.0-beta6)

The attached screenshot might clarify things.

The problem is in this line in tagging.plugin.js :

tags = $(input_sel).not('.tag-processed').val().split(',');

which is overly simplifying things: Tags can be enclosed in quotes and have commas, spaces and other characets in them (see: http://api.drupal.org/api/function/drupal_explode_tags/6 )

This module, as is, forbids one to enter terms such as "I, Robot" which would be a valid single term in the regular Drupal autocomplete widget.

ANOTHER issue: enabling the module AFTER you already have such terms will also split your terms up incorrectly.

Also, see http://drupal.org/node/559176 for how it was fixed in Active_tags module

Janusman as this complicates the whole javascript part a lot, iam not gonna put this on hight priority. This will need a lot of tests to be properly supported.

Iam aware of the old "tagging style" where you could write down a whole sentence. But actually i dont think thats what a term should be, so i tend to downgrade this one to minor (as people need to use tags as tags like they are defined, not as "full text descriptions".

Feel free to provide patches if this one is urgent to you.
