Hi all,
It'm trying to use "tags" as a more structured categorization feature.
First I saw that in tagedit.vm, we can change to a select list instead of an input field for entering tags. I changed this in the displayEdit property for XWiki.TagClass, but without effect.
In tagedit.vm we have (XWiki 1.5) :
#set($displayType = $xwiki.getDocument("XWiki.TagClass").xWikiClass.tags.getProperty('displayType').value) #set($possibleTags = $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues) ....
First line is ok and says "select", but $tdoc.tagsPossibleValues is always empty ...
So my question is : where is defined the list of possible tags for page(s) ? I though it was the "tags" field of page XWiki.TagClass, but it seems it's not ...
I didn't even know this feature! I checked the code of "getTagsPossibleValues" in XWikiDocument.java (http://fisheye2.atlassian.com/browse/~raw,r=11430/xwiki/xwiki-platform/core/...), the list is constructed based of pipe-separated values in the "tags" property of XWiki.TagClass (this is the moment I discovered that tags are stored as a static list, too ;)) So if you say "tag1|tag2|tag3" here, this is what $doc.tagsPossibleValues will return you (as a list). Hope this helps. When you successfully do have the tags displayed as a select list with finished list of possible values, what would be cool is that you create a FAQ entry for it to explain how you did. Cheers, Jerome.
Thanks for help, Jeremie
