sub tags more than 2 levels deep?

[rogerdpack]

Anybody know of any work or patch that allows this?
If I created it would a patch that allows this likely make its way to
trunk?

Thanks!

Roger,

I don't know of any work, although it should not be too hard to accomplish.  I am pretty sure that the database schema does not need to change because the tag table already has a parentID field, which gets set to 0 if it is a top level id or the id of the parent tag.  Hardest part is going to be modifying the controller and how it displays data.  Might need to go to a snippet based system for the display.

I've modified sites before to use infinitely nestable tags. Just
didn't see the interest for the main distro. Like Nate says the DB is
already setup for it. You just have to change the UI bits.

What is the disadvantage of including it in trunk? I don't see any
reason not to.

The standard template most people will be working from only includes
two levels of tags. More rails savvy people will be able to modify it
to suit their needs.

That was my thinking when limiting to 2 levels.

Here's a patch to allow them in the admin. If anyone would like this
rolled into the 'real' distro I can create a more comprehensive patch.
Thanks!

If you could make a ticket / attach the patch that'd be great. It will
allow me to revisit it later and not forget about the email ;)

Roger,

Thanks for the hard work you have done with this patch. I know it
will come in handy with something I have planned.
