You're correct. uTagsy is a document type specific tagger. "Show All" will only show the tags that are used for the doc type that you're currently using.
I do have a modified version which does all doc types. Send me your email address and I'll send it to you.
I'll be releasing uTagsy soon. I just have been too busy with uBlogsy.
Ok - I don't suppose you could send the source code? It seems that the OP had the same issue as me - but is now marked as resolved. I already had a uTagsy datatype in my build because during development (some time last year) it was removed out of an installation of uBlogsy for custom tagging.
Unfortunately, I have to keep using this datatype as there are many tags that exist throughout the system but mapped to specific doc types. Because of this, there are many repeat tags which could be resolved if the tags weren't doc type specific. Ideally, I want to avoid having to force the client to re-populate the tags!
We are using uBlogsy 2.1.1.2 within Umbraco v 4.11.5 and the package is awesome and works great. Thanks for the same.
We had one question on uTagsy - Tags which is inbuild in uBlogsy. With this as you mentioned earlier the tags are specific to Doc Type and "Show All" shows specific to that doc type only. We need to use it for all tags (global way). Some where you have mentioned in the thread that you have modfied version of same. I will really appreciate if you can please send it to me on viraln25 at hotmail.com
The standard "Tags" datatype (that ships with Umbraco) allows you to add tags to a specific group.
If you leave the datatype as is, the tags that you add will be added to the "default" group. As you add this datatype to doctypes around your site (where necessary) all tags will continue to be added inside the "default" group.
This will then allow you to use it in a "global way" across your whole site as opposed to doc-type specific.
Thanks Rick for your message. You are so much right on it and we infact used sniper tag (there is a third party package build on top of this default Umbraco "Tags") and it actually nicely auto fills when you start typing the letter on tags so user can know the existing tags and can easily pick it up. This is good enough from functionality perspective but what we actually need is to have betteer UI - how "uTagsy" does with "Show All" and "Hide Tags" (Shown below in screen shot) tags options and by clicking one of them it automatically assigns the one which you want to assign but the problem with uTagsy is - it does not work "global" way so was wondering if we can some how get an access to source code of same - we can modify it the way we want and use the same.
I guess you want the UX of the uBlogsy tagging datatype. But it's not supported as it is specific for the document type. The latest uTagsy version uses content nodes which gets around this.

Hy to the author. First one, really love your package. Helped me out alot developing rich content sites in a minute.
Okay now my Problem. I#M using your uTagsy DataType in another DocumentType. Question!
Is the uTagsy related to the DocType or is it possible just to retrive all tags in uTagsy.
Hope i explained it good :)

Ah nice one, this saves me a little, just looked into uTagsy ascx and code behind. But if theres a ready version :)
Here's my mail: [email protected]
Thanks to you Anthony
Hi Anthony,
Love the package - used it on lots of sites now!
I'd be really interested in seeing the modified version too - as I have a specific requirement - my email is [email protected]
Many thanks

uTagsy is now a separate package http://our.umbraco.org/projects/backoffice-extensions/utagsy
It is now part of the content tree. You can use the datatype in any doctype you wish.
Hi Anthony,
Thanks for the quick response. I tried installing this on 4.11.5 but it threw an error saying "Could not load type 'Umbraco.Web.UmbracoUserControl'.
I then noticed that the version I downloaded was V6 ... is there a version that works with 4.11.5?
Thanks
Rick
No version which works with umb 4.x unfortunately as there are breaking changes in the umb api.

Umbraco should really make the source link more obvious :)

Am i making sense here?

Yes, what Rick said.
