The second option sounds good to me -- this label will only be used to tag "open" RP threads so it won't ever change, nor would we add additional labels (through the plugin or through PB's native feature) on the boards where this plugin would be active. Option 2 it will be..

Option 2 it will be.. I've had second thoughts.. I can't use either of the options I gave you, as it would make searching for them difficult.. You need to be able to search for the tag as it is named otherwise it defeats the purpose. So I'll just have to check for the tag name in the list whenever it is accessed.

Hi Kami, Can you please take a look at this... Searchable Thread LabelsHopefully it's self explanatory. I have not played with the search function yet, but if I get that to work I will let you know.. To be honest, I don't like the PB search function at the best of times.. I never get the results I expect. If you have any questions let me know, the same goes for if you want anything changed or added.

Hey Todge, had a play with this -- I'm not totally sure how to search for the label? I've set it up for a test label on this board: theavatarrp.com/board/32/fire-nationwith the pinned thread marked with the OPEN label

Hey Todge, had a play with this -- I'm not totally sure how to search for the label? I've set it up for a test label on this board: theavatarrp.com/board/32/fire-nationwith the pinned thread marked with the OPEN label Yeah.. As I've mentioned before, I can't ever remember getting a satisfactory result from the PB Search function. The label is in the post body as {tag)Open(T1), or similar depending on the label name and it's position in the list, so searching for (tag)Open SHOULD find all the posts that have been labelled Open.

And there in lies the problem.. I did some experiments on my test forum and added 'label 1' to some threads, 'Label 2' to some and 'Open' to some others, then searched for the exact phrase (tag)Label 1, and as you say, I got a hit on ALL the tags, regardless.. I also did a search for 'Label 1', and again, got a hit on all the tags, this is because the classname of the added tags containg 'label'.. Searxhing for exact phrase simply does not work, it doesn't differentiate between seperate words, spaces or non-word characters, getting a hit on ANY thread that ontains the first part of the phrase regardless. There is nothing I can do to stop that as the search function is obviously controlled by PB themselves. What I can do is change the label name to something highly unlikely to be included in a normal post.. Something like 'tagOpen', which should then work if you search for either exact phrase OR with the word tagOpen, but it is moving away from an obvious search parameter. If that's OK with you I'll do that, or if you have a better prefix than 'tag', let me know and I'll use that instead. I have also had another look at the post you linked to that contained your label, and it doesn't contain it, so I assume the label was added using the standard PB route rather than using the plugin?

Todge - ah yeah, i guess i misunderstood how to add the tag... i didn't see it immediately when modifying the OP of that thread, so maybe i'm just missing something. for what it's worth, users won't be manually searching for this. my goal is to have the search populate for certain boards in order to generate a static link that i'll place in the header of our Plotting board that's just a button that says "click here to view open threads" or something to that effect. as long as: - i can search for it initially to generate a reliable link - users can click that link - (ideally) search results exclude boards i havent selected OR there's a one-click method to bulk remove the tag when i archive completed threads then we're good. 🤔 not sure if the last bullet point is possible, and i'm sure i'll be able to come up with a work around for it if needed.
