Active Tags

Active Tags adds a new option to free tagging taxonomies. If selected the taxonomy widget is replaced by a new jQuery enabled tag entry widget.

Works with core Taxonomy module and Content Taxonomy module.

This module came about through work on a site where some users found separating tags with commas confusing. Some users got it, and some didn't. This resulted in a site littered with concatenated tags. Wordpress has a similar tag entry mechanism where tags are entered separately. It has been implemented here using jQuery to rewrite the standard taxonomy entry form.

What Active Tags Is NOT

Active Tags is NOT a module that creates, stores, selects, or any other action related to handling taxonomy or server side data. If you have an issue with taxonomy performance, storage, autocomplete, or anything else not related to the front end widget, please file an issue with your respective taxonomy module(Taxonomy or Content Taxonomy).

What Active Tags Is

Active Tags is a pure JavaScript widget for changing how users enter taxonomy terms by piggy backing onto taxonomy modules, such as Taxonomy and/or Content Taxonomy. This keeps Active Tags simple and small.

Compatibility

Does not currently work with the Heirarchial Select module, Community Tags module, or any other module that uses the "taxonomy_override_selector" variable. More information

The widget is created using jQuery and has been tested to work on IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 2, Firefox 3, Safari, and Opera. The widget gracefully degrades if the browser doesn't support Javascript - in which case the regular Taxonomy or Content Taxonomy field is displayed instead.

Configuration

Simply install the module as usual then edit the vocabulary or field settings to enable the new tag entry widget.
