Latest Version : 2.9.2.1

Things Worth Knowing About Since The Last Version
2.8.9->2.9

• If there are database permission issues that prevent the auto-updater from running, you won’t see error messages all over the place (but if you do a force-reinstall they will display)
• Related posts are sorted by most tags in common, then most recent first (previously it was just most tags in common order)
• Tag urls are now url-encoded (duh.) – this allows using umlats and other such things (at least in the way I tried (; including ü in your tags works, using magical characters directly is a bit bung still)
• Lists of posts can now include the date of the post (uses the %postdate% formatting placeholder, and the default date format)
• UTW_Show functions have changed a little – the first parameter still takes the name of a predefined format; but if you pass in custom formatting information, it will be added to the predefined format.
• The Options > Tags page has a whole bunch of embedded help. Yay help.
• The automatically included links can now be placed either before or after the content. There’s also the option to add text before and after the tags (handy for Tag: labels, wrapping tags in spans or divs and wrapping html lists in <ul> tags)
• I’ve fixed an odd bug with feeds (it worked for me, but didn’t for a couple of people.. it’s just one of those bugs, I guess)
• [Wordpress 2 only] On the write post screen, the tag entry and tag suggestion boxes have been shuffled into the right-hand column and put into magical boxes for shuffling and hiding and whatnot.
• There’s a new template function, UTW_ShowRSSFeedIcon(). It displays an RSS icon on tag pages for the current tag set (if you’re viewing /tags/tag1 it’s a link to the tag1 feed. On /tags/tag1+tag2 it’s a link to the feed with posts tagged both tag1 and tag2).
• The UTW_AddTagToCurrentPost() has an extra parameter – it allows specifying the minimum user level that you need in order to add tags. It defaults to 3.

2.8.6->2.8.7

• Plugin now works with the wordpress 1.6 alpha version

2.8.5->2.8.6

• Tagyu now tries to use CURL to get related tags
• Ajax driven embedded tag-adders will now accept a comma separated list of tags, instead of being limited to a single tag
• There’s time sensitive tag lists! (You can put a tag list in your archives that includes the most popular tags for the month being viewed)

2.8.4->2.8.5

• Fixed the bug with updating the database *fingers crossed*
• Changed the way that requests to tagyu are sent, which will hopefully work for people whose servers wouldn’t allow them to use the old way.

2.8.3->2.8.4

• Bug fixes
• There’s now the option to link tags to gada.be and Zniff
• The administration has been split in two! There’s now an options page, where options are; and a manage page, where tags can be manipulated.
• There are a bunch of new options – you can choose how to format the automagially included links, and you can choose which icons to display in icon-based formats

2.8.2->2.8.3

• Tag suggestions now come from tagyu.com
• There’s a new predefined format, weightedlongtailvertical
• There are new custom format bits – %tagrelweightrank%, %tagrelweightrankint%, %tagrelweightrankcolor% and %tagrelweightrankfontsize%

2.8.1->2.8.2

• The documentation is up to date!
• (yeah. that’s mostly it.. there are a few bug fixes; but this release is mostly for the completed documentation. May it never get so horribly out of date again.)

2.8->2.8.1

• Fixes the bug where an error was displaying in the tag box for new posts
• Automagically included Technorati and local tags are now wrapped in tags. Technorati tags use the CSS class named “technoratitags” and local tags use the CSS class “localtags”
• You can view the union of tags! If you go to /tags/tag1|tag2|…|tagn then the tag page will display the union of those tags. At this stage, you can have either a tag intersection or a tag union; you can’t mix the operators up.
• There’s a new formatting string, “andcommalist” that will display a comma list of tags, along with a link to the intersection page (when appropriate – either from viewing a tag page with a single tag, or viewing the tag page for an intersection of tags)
• There are also new custom formatting placeholders:
  • %intersectionurl% that displays the url for the current set of tags and the tag being rendered.
  • %unionurl% that displays the url for the current union of tags, along with the tag being rendered.
  • %intersectionicon% that displays the intersection url with a little icon (intersection icon).
  • %unionicon% that displays the union url with a little icon (union icon).
  • %intersectionlink% that displays the intersection url as a link, with a + as the link text
  • %unionlink% that displays the union url as a link, with a | as the link text

2.7.7->2.8

• It’s getting closer to really-really having spaces in tags: tags are now a comma separated list, and any tags with spaces will automagically have spaces turned into underscores
• Tags can have synonyms. Synonyms behave kinda like aliases to a tag, so if you have a blogging tag; you could set up blogs and blog as synonyms, and any requests for tag-based pages for the synonym will retrieve the tag-based page for the underlying tag. Synonyms are handled on the Manage>Tags page (This is much cooler than it sounds; and I have grand plans to follow!)

2.7.6->2.7.7

• I fixed the bug with related tags (When I switched to alpha sorting, I put the order clause in the wrong place)
• There’s a new template tag, UTW_AddTagToCurrentPost($format=”"). It puts an ajax-enabled box on posts. If format is empty, then once the tag has been added nothing will happen. Otherwise, the new list of tags rendered using the named format specified will replace the contents of the page element named “tags-{post id}”.
• “iconlist” is a new named format that displays tags along with Technorati, Flickr, Del.icio.us, Wikipedia and RSS icons (and if viewing from a tag page, an intersection icon that links to the intersection of the current tag(s) and the tag being rendered)
• “commalisticons” is a new named format that displays tags with the icons; with each tag separated by a space.
• “htmllisticons” is a new named format that displays an html list, with icons first then the tag
• %icons% is a new placeholder for custom formats. It includes the list of icons as above.
• %intersectionicon% is a new placeholder for custom formats that displays the intersection icon, and links to the intersection of the current tag set and the current tag. If the current tag set is empty, then nothing will display.

2.7.5->2.7.6

• The list of tags for a post/related tag lists are now sorted alphabetically (instead of just however they were falling out of the database)
• There’s a new template function for inside the wordpress loop: UTW_HasTags() which returns true when the current post has tags, and false otherwise
• The include path is being set explicitly, as per this request

2.7.4->2.7.5

• The Tag Suggestion bit will look for any tags related to the set of keywords Yahoo! returns, and include those in the list of suggestions.
• There is a Force Reinstall button on the Manage – Tags page that will attempt to re-run all of the updates.
• Custom formats can now have a “single” format, which is used when there is only one matching item.

2.7.3->2.7.4

• Adds Yahoo! keyword suggestions to the post editing page

2.7.2->2.7.3

• More bugfixes: no longer shows all posts on the tag page (this is fairly important)
• Fixed a buglet with RSS feeds and tag.php files not playing nice together
• The javascript tag for the ajax bits ought to be XHTML compliant, now

2.7.1->2.7.2

• Just a bugfix for -1 limits

2.6.2->2.7.1

• There are RSS feeds for tags (and sets of tags) –
• Tag pages are paginated
• The plugin is localised-ish (I’m not sure if I’ve gotten everything, though.. lemme know if I missed anything!)
• The alphabetical weighted lists now display the top x items in alphabetical order instead of just the first x alphabetically
• You can now specify the maximum number of things to get using the UTW_ShowSomething() functions
• The javascript for the Ajax bits now live in an external file
• The bug where tags were being eaten when you shrunk the icons has been fixed
• I’ve fixed the Flickr tag link url. I really, really mean it this time
• I renamed the ID column of the tags table to tag_id; so if you see any SQL errors, let me know!

2.6->2.6.2

• Technorati, Flickr and Wikipedia urls now have tag URL’s of the form that the service expects (like+this, likethis and like_this respectively)
• There’s a “superajaxrelated” format for using with related links lists. It’ll do the expandy thing, and has a + button which will add the tag to a post (instead of the – button for a normal list)
• Running the install page is a thing of the past! It’ll automatically update any settings when you copy in a newer version of the plugin
• Flagged the tag cache! turns out it’s good enough without bothering about making one of these (:

2.5.5 -> 2.6

• Buzzword compliance update!
• Introduced ajax bits – if you have a tag list that uses the “superajax” format magic will happen! Clicking on the » will display icon-links to Technorati, del.icio.us, Flickr and Wikipedia; then clicking on « will hide them again. If you’re logged in, and have a user level over 3; you can add and delete tags from the main page instead of going to the edit screen.

2.5.4 -> 2.5.5

• Fixed the bug in RSS feeds
• Tags assigned to private/draft/unpublished posts no longer display in tag clouds
• Updated the docs to reflect the slightly different install for version 1.5 of WordPress

2.5.3 -> 2.5.4

• Documentation has been updated to take out the step where the tag.php file is copied to themes
• The minimum and maximum font sizes can be specified for tag clouds
• There’s now a little bit of magic for related posts
• “Technorati Tags: ” no longer displays when there are no tags, when they’re included automagically

2.5.2 -> 2.5.3

• Fixed the bug where if you’re using the index.php template instead of a tag.php template; the not found message + search box were displaying at the bottom of the page
• There’s nifty support for importing tags from custom fields
• And in the interests of fairness, there’s a way to export tags back to a custom field as well d:
• There’s a new named format, coloredsizedtagcloudwithcount that displays a colour/size tag cloud with the number of times each tag is used.

2.5.1 -> 2.5.2

• Go to http://yoursite/wp-content/UltimateTagWarrior/ultimate-tag-warrior-install.php – there are shiny new settings that the install will set up for you
• The colours of the tag cloud / linear weighted graph thingers are set-able – you can set the colours at the high and low ends, and the in-between colours are generated from there. Lemme know how this works: black to white seems to work okay, and red to blue involved all sorts of purples, but I’m not sure how well it works in general (:
• Your themes don’t need a tag.php file anymore(!). If your theme has a tag.php file, it’ll use it for displaying a tag; otherwise, it will automagically fall back to the index.php file.
• Absolute url’s now use the ‘home’ option instead of ‘siteurl’
• You can now specify always displaying the links to existing tags on the edit page; instead of switching to a dropdown when there are “lots” of tags.
• (I fixed the silly bug in the delete-post action)

2.5 -> 2.5.1

• Mark helped me fix the buggy bits around $posts
• The list of tags on the post editing screen will display as a dropdown list once you hit 50 tags
• You might find that your tag urls revert to http://somesite/index.php?tag=tag urls. Go to the tag management page, and switch the pretty urls option on to get your rewritten urls back.

Feature Set :

• Rockin’ administration interface
  • Delete, rename and split tags
  • Perform a mass import from categories to tags
  • Easy to use interface for making configuration changes
• Multiword tags (sorta – tags have underscores or hyphens; but display with spaces, and link without)
• Lazy tag addition – the tags which are currently in use are displayed on the edit screen, and can be clicked to be added to the set of tags for a post
• Tag intersections – /tag/tag1+tag2 retrieves the intersection of tag1 and tag2
• Technorati support – tag links conform to the format Technorati expects, and are also included in atom feeds
• Allows custom formatting with a profound level of control
• Long tail curve. Oh baby. Throw your tag cloud out and take this for a spin. Displays a histogram of tags that, depending on your tagging behaviour, is a long tail curve.
• Linear.. uh.. weighted.. uh.. thing. If you tend to use fewer tags, this is a graphical way of displaying them which is a little more interesting than a stubby long tail curve – it’s a wide bar, that displays popular tags wide and unpopular tags narrow.
• Tag Clouds – automatically displays popular tags big, dark or both depending on the formatting option chosen.
• Uses a Toxi-esque database schema (pretty sweet for intersections; not too bad for unions; just not great for inserts d; )
• Has a formatting mechanism that will make your eyes bleed. Sorta. If I can draw histograms within its confines, that’s got to count for something
• Wrappers around core functionality, so you don’t need to even consider the existence of the formatting mechanism unless you’re doing something pretty out there
• Local cosmos works out of the box; but rewritten urls allow choosing the location of the tag cosmos, and can update the .htaccess file automatically by updating permalinks through the wordpress admin [2.5.1]
• Can import tags from a custom field; and export tags to a custom field [2.5.3]
• Can display a set of related posts, based on tags [2.5.4]
• Can add and remove tags with the power of ajax [2.6]
• Can magic-clicky to get links out to other tag-savvy sites [2.6]
• Tag pages are paginated [2.7]
• There are RSS feeds for both tags, and sets of tags [2.7]
• In theory, it’s localised… There just aren’t any other languages for it yet [2.7]
• It can make suggestions for tags using the Yahoo! content analysis webservice [2.7.4]
• It allows tags to have synonyms [2.8]
• It can display both tag intersections and tag unions [2.8.1]
• And.. uh.. other things. Yeah. Other things.

Add-Ons

Drop these into the Ultimate Tag Warrior folder, in your plugins folder to expand tagging functionality in curious ways that don’t quite belong in the plugin.

Tag Archive – Displays a tag archive. Resurrected from UTW1ish. Has one function: UTW_TagArchive ($limit = 20, $postlimit=20). $limit is the number of tags to get, $postlimit is the number of posts to get for each tag. Everything is wrapped in div’s for easier styling – each tag is in a div with the ‘tagarchive’ css class; tag titles are in a ‘tagarchivename’ div; the posts are in a ‘tagarchiveposts’ div.
