Tags -- these are a cool new feature, but it looks like there are still a few bugs to work out.

I tried to add the tag "frc663" to the photo at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/23495 but it instead results in a "-" being added to the tag list. I see that others have had similar problems on other photos.

This has happened to me trying to tag several pics "frc862" & "frc465"

Another tag quirk -- the photo at http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/photos/23472 was incorrectly tagged with "frc1296" but I don't see any way to delete the incorrect tag.

If you go to the item's page and click on the little voting button in the tag window you can "vote" on the validity of that tag. As Brandon mentioned in his FAQ (above) -

Four unanimous votes pushes the change .. otherwise majority rules after 2 weeks (time/amt subject to change).

[Stu Bloom]

Oh yeah ... and Brandon ...

FANTASTIC JOB!! This is a great enhancement - I love it!

Something to add about this, it seems to be connected to tags that were already added. For example, FRC111 would appear, because there have already been pictures with it tagged, while FRC217 would appear as a "-" because the tag doesn't exist yet(?)


::Update Edit:: Now FRC217 works as a tag. Maybe it takes a few seconds to get into the system? Still had to retag all of the "-" tags though.

[Brandon Martus]

I just fixed the '-' .. I'll have to hunt down how that got in the system, and why the system started using it.

To remove invalid tags, you have to either vote them down (), or initate a voting sequence by clicking the little trash can next to them ().


Old Who-Am-I pictures .. whoops. Should be fixed now.


Bugs: using this thread works, for now.


More Tag FAQ:

• Dispite their length, we are going to tag regionals with at least 4 tags. This will help group/browse by a specific regional, a specific year of that regional, and all regionals.
  
  -- 'Regional Name'
  -- 'Regional Name Year'
  -- 'regional'
  -- 'year'
  
  For example:
  
  "Great Lakes Regional" regional 2005 "Great Lakes Regional 2005"
• Team numbers must be preceeded by 'frc' 'fll' 'fvc' .. ie: frc47 frc111 frc234 frc45

wow this is pretty awesome brandon! i just tagged all my old photos, but this ability to search for pictures is gonna make using CD a lot more enjoyable.

[Jessica Boucher]

Please keep the user in mind when tagging. For instance, I was tagging the state maps I made a while back, and realized that not only should they be tagged by full state name, but also by state abbreviation, since both are possible to be searched upon.

(Unless we make a rule about it. As far as I know, there is none.)

Additional note: Maine's state abbreviation, ME, gets entered as "me", which some have already started using as a tag.

[Brandon Martus]

Yes, 'ME' should be for maine, and "Who Am I?" should be used for 'me'. I"ll update the case of "ME" to reflect that.

I think adding both 'Maine' and 'ME' is a good idea. We already add three or four tags for regionals -- the more we have, the better it is (within reason, of course).

[Brandon Martus]

I need some input on some ideas I had, please

Should we allow people to retract and/or change their votes on tags? Sometimes, after thinking about it (or after making a mistake) I've wanted to change my vote. Should this be allowed, if so, when? ..is your vote final, and let others form a majority and pass/fail the tag addition?

Should I add in notification (via email) on any of the following:
-Your image gets a new tag.
-Your tag gets voted on.
-Your tag makes it through the voting cycle.
-Your tag doesn't make it through the voting cycle.
-Your tag gets put back through a voting cycle (essentially a delete).
-A tag you voted on gets voted on.
-A tag you voted 'yes' on gets a majority 'no'.
-A tag you voted 'no' on gets a majority 'yes'.

I think voting should act like a poll or rep, Once you click it it is over.

as for the notification system i am all for it as long as you can turn it off in your user cp

[Brandon Martus]

I could also possibly provide these as lists.

I agree with this. Once you vote, it should be final.

Maybe you can make those stats about your tags/images available within the User CP. Having them sent via email is ok, as long as I can turn the option off.

[Brandon Martus]

Every tag in the tag box (to the right of the image/paper) is a link, which takes you to more photos (or papers) with that tag.

Some of you may know, others may not realize that the star () to the left of the tag takes you to all media with that tag.

Flickr uses a little globe for something similar to this (public vs private tags). I didn't want to rip them off (completely ), so I went with a star, but I'm not really liking it.

If you have any ideas for an icon that could show up there, please send me a PM with them -- either a word explanation, or an icon if you're feeling creative (10x10 transparent gif or png).

Thanks.
