Hi!
Omeka Classic’s Admin interface is quite powerful, but one of its weaknesses, in my opinion, has always been the Tags page: from the inability to merge two Tags when renaming them, to the fact that every time you delete one Tag, the list gets reset… well, there’s room for improvement, I thought.
That’s why I created the Tags Plus plugin: it enhances the existing interface, adding a whole host of features that should be useful for repositories with lots of Tags.
The Admin interface consists 3 different tabs:
The first tab is quite similar to the existing one, although it’s clearer and one can now choose how many Tags to display; besides, merging is enabled.
The second tab uses the PHP Levenshtein function to search for couples of similar Tags (maybe different just by one letter, like simple typos); the interface then make it easy to merge them, if needed.
The third - and last - tab makes available for Admin and SuperUser roles a few extra tools:
- delete all Tags that are not associated to any Item (Omeka should be taking care of those “orphans” automatically, but one never knows);
- convert all Tag’s case (three different options are offered, but more could be added in the future if deemed useful by users);
- use the DC.Subject field as a source for extra Tags (this one derives from plugin SubjectToTags, by Vincent Buard, with the main difference that, in this case, the plugin is NOT deleting previously existing Tags).
As usual, comments and suggestions are welcome.
