Hi,

There are several plugins related to tagging. However, it's also possible to simply add the tag bar from the edit template to the tiddlerinfo panel. This way, tags can be modified without opening a tiddler in edit mode. The following code adds the tag bar to the tiddlerinfo panel, adds the caption "Edit Tags", makes the tag bar the default tiddlerinfo tab and adds the info button to the view template:

<$button>
<$action-listops $tiddler="$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags" $tags="+[append[$:/tags/TiddlerInfo]]"/>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags" caption="Edit Tags"/>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/config/TiddlerInfo/Default" text="$:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags"/>
<$action-setfield $tiddler="$:/config/ViewToolbarButtons/Visibility/$:/core/ui/Buttons/info" text="show"/>
Make Changes
</$button>

Just wanted to share this. Maybe some readers find it useful!

Cheers,

Stef

This nice. fast, efficient and discrete.
I also use the simple tagger plugin by matabele. this however is faster than the simple tagger plugin because of the drop down functionality. simple tagger plugin can however mass add or delete tags.

@Stef: nice one. So here's a simple question from a newbie: how do I use your code? In other words, where do I put it? Should I make a new tiddler with that code in the text box, or …… what else? Please explain.

yes just put it in a tiddler, save it and press the button that you just made. then in any tiddler press the info button, press the edit tags tab and tag away. BUT (for me at least) it do not work any more in the new tw 5.1.22 as mentioned.

Thanks HC. For me it does not work either: there is no edit tags bar in the info section of a tiddler.

Peter,

I like to use this http://tongerner.tiddlyspot.com/#%24%3A%2Fplugins%2Ftg%2Ftoolbar%2Ftagging

I think the Tiddlerinfo Panel easily gets overcrowded.

Thanks a lot, Birthe, he has some interesting plug-ins, of which I installed the Tiddler bar.

The tiddler you link to has this in its title field: $:/plugins/tg/toolbar/tagging

What should I do with that?

Peter,

It is part of a plugin among the many Ton Gerner has made.

Just took a look at this. My code appears to work fine when I use it in a brand new TW 5.1.22. However, there was an issue when I tried to upgrade an existing TW after making the changes described above.

The following quick fix worked for me:

Try upgrading your TW again. This time, uncheck the tiddler $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags before finishing the upgrade.
Open your upgraded TW, put my code into a new tiddler and press the button.

Please let me know if it worked!

Cheers,

Stef

Alternatively, you could also open your upgraded TW, retrieve $:/core/ui/EditTemplate/tags via Advanced Search/Shadows, delete this tiddler and then run my code as described above.
