Hashtag in Posts [library support]

[Wormopolis]

Yeah I had to change it from just # to [#] because it just kept messing up people's layouts no matter what I tried

Hey Wormopolis

I was wondering if there is anyway to make the Hashtag in Posts plugin affect the widgets on a custom page?

I have a custom home page, with the 'Recent Posts' widget front-and-center. The hashtags displayed in the posts in it all display as [HASH]exampleword(it doesn't really say 'exampleword', it's just an example), and are not clickable.

If it can't be done or is simply too much trouble, that's cool.

The hashtag code specifically looks for td.content div.message when parsing posts but the widget uses a few different classes and all DIVs and no tables so what you could try is to wrap the widget in a table with properly referenced classes to get the code to pick it up (this assumes the plugin itself is not editable).

On the HTML tab of the custom page try wrapping the zone in the table:


This could cause false positives in other codes which is why I emphasize the word try

The Plugin isn't editable at all. There aren't even any setting to change.

But...This worked! Thank you! No sign of any problems/conflicts yet, but I will keep an eye out.

Yeah I never really thought of a need to have it scan custom pages. I can look at adding that in as long as the custom page constructs arent too unique

Thank you Eton for stepping in

Can we get a button for this somehow? I have the plugin that lets me put buttons in the quick reply area, but I can't make it insert a simple [#]. Here's a button image you can use.

I love this plugin, but I am finding if posts are tagged later, they don't seem to get indexed. For example, if I make a post and then a week later add a hashtag, it doesn't add it to the tag list, even after waiting a few days for it to index.

Edit: Hashtags that are added/altered through editing an existing post will not index correctly without a support request to reindex a forum, but that problem may be fixed later by Proboards Devs.

I am finding that editing existing posts and adding new text to them will not result in the posts showing up in searched for the new text.

For example, if I made a post at 6am, then came back at 11am and added the term 'guitar', the post will not show up in searches for posts that include 'guitar', even weeks after the edit was made.

This is especially frustrating while using the incredibly useful hashtag plugin, as it means that hashtags cannot be added or altered after threads/replies are posted.

• Is this normal search index behavior to ignore edits? 
• Can I refresh what is indexed to include edits?  
  
• Will I have to constantly request to do that for it to properly index edited threads?

Hi,

There is no trigger for a search reindex when you edit a post, therefore editing a post will not have the edit indexed.

Mostly I think this is due to the fact that most people don't go back and edit posts often. You make the post and then you simply reply if you're providing more information (or more likely responding to another post). However I think its fair that they should be indexed. I'll mark this thread as a feature request for the future.

There is no way for you to trigger a reindex of an existing post. Since reindexing ALL of the post content is "expensive" in terms of server activity. A request would be the best way to make this happen.

I have a huge need for tags on my forum and I'm ever so grateful for this plugin! 

However, I have a problem with it... When clicking on a hashtag link (I also use HashCloud, by the way) when not logged in, it goes to the search page and not straight a way to the page listing all the posts made by that specific hashtag. I can move forward from there by clicking the "Search", but then it requires me to fill in captcha - this is very annoying and takes time before I can actually see the result for the tag search (that would go there without a problem if logged in). I have users on my forum that are visitors and not registered, so I would need the tag search be a bit more fluent. 

How can I make it go to the listing page immediately when clicking on the hashtag even if not logged in? Or at least - how to delete captcha questioning involved within the search?


Thanks in advance for help!
