Hi Simon,

I'm glad you like the package, or the idea of it at least :). Given the information it sounds like that although the tags are being generated, none of them are being selected; which is why they aren't persisting upon save. There are two methods of selecting tags, the first is by right-clicking on them whereby they will turn a dark green. The second is a configuration property which will automatically select the tags by default when they're generated. I can't remember the name of the property off hand but the property names are fairly verbose so you should be able to figure it out.

Hopefully this will help you out, if not I'll be happy to help you futher

Hi Rich

Thanks for coming back to me. I've right clicked and they do turn green but nothing is saved when I save or publish. Also tried setting the auto properties to true but still the same result

autotags.config has the following settings although TagGroup confuses me, whats this used for?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
  <GenerateTagsAutomatically>true</GenerateTagsAutomatically>
  <SelectTagsAutomatically>true</SelectTagsAutomatically>
  <AllowManualTags>true</AllowManualTags>
  <AllowTagSuggestion>true</AllowTagSuggestion>
  <ShowHelp>true</ShowHelp>
  <TagGroup>simonantony</TagGroup>
  <OpenCalaisApiKey />
  <ProxyUsername />
  <ProxyPassword />
  <ProxyDomain />
  <Provider>GrailTechnology.AutoTags.Providers.TagTheNetService, GrailTechnology.AutoTags.Providers</Provider>
  <PropertyAliasesToUse />
  <PropertyAliasesToExclude />
</Config>

btw am I correct in assuming the tags should be stored within the documents node? i.e. my property is called autoTags so I assume they should be within <autoTags></autoTags>?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

Hopefully I'll be take a look at this tonight. I didn't have a laptop with me last night so couldn't download the relevant versions.

The tag group element is a fallback to umbraco's default tag data type whereby you can categorise the tags that appear for a particular property. e.g. you could have a "keywords" datatype with a group of "keywords" and a datatype for blog tags with a group of "tags", so that when you use the auto complete feature (of the default data type) you would only retrieve tags within the relevant group. Hope that clears it up.

As for where the tags are stored they should indeed be stored into your "autoTags" property and will be comma seperated. The tags are also stored into the database in the standard umbraco tag table to allow you to lookup related documents. You can use the umbraco library extensions to retrieve these.

Will get back to you about your issue tonight or tomorrow morning.

Regards

Richard

Thanks - that makes sense now, still not saving though which is strange. Nothing is appearing in the tags table either and nothing is shown in the logs so stumped

Hi Simon,

So I've downloaded a fresh version of 472 and installed package from the repository and used your configuration and everything works fine which is nice and helpful :).

Given the previous issues I've had, can you provide a list of the other datatypes used in the document(s) where this datatype is used.

Also, browser and database versions would be good, just to rule things out and try help replicate this behaviour.

Haa haa just my luck eh. Sure, heres the list:

Textbox Multiple

Date Picker

RTF Editor

Textstring

OpenCalaisAutoTag

True/False

DB is SQL Server 2008 R2 (web edition). Browsers are Chrome on Windows and Mac - could always give you a login to the staging site if that helps?

Thats annoyingly standard. I've tried in Chrome and thats fine too.

Email the credentials to elspiko dot esq at google mail dot com and I'll see if theres anything thata jumps out 

Which areas do you need access to? content, settings?

is working on a reply...
