hi:

i am trying to implement a feature similar to del.icio.us tags where each user has a set of own tags that are also part of the main vocabulary.

this is mainly what i need:

- when the user inserts a new story and adds terms they are added to the DB. The terms HE added are then shown on HIS profile as a tag cloud. the tag is shared so other users can access the same from the main vocabulary.
(if you have used del.icio.us you know what i mean)

Now i am showing a general tag cloud using tagadelic but it should be adapted to be able ALSO tags for each user in their user profile page.

how much would this cost?

thanks for your time.

Hi,

This great idea has been floated before but might gain some traction this time since more people are familiar with tagging. There's a package, awtags, for 4.6 that does pretty much want you want. The ideal w/b to have some of that functionality work with 4.7 freetags. I am not aware of any development or how much time/cost it would take for this effort. Off the top of my head, I would say you need to modify taxonomy and user modules as well as the tables.

Let me know what you find out.

Thanks,

Jim

It sounds like you could use the existing taxonomy terms stored with the node as long as they were tags entered in by that user.

I'm just thinking from a relational standpoint (very simply here right now), if you joined users to nodes to terms in the right way you could get what you're looking for without any new tables or extra data entry.

That would be a great feature. Shoot me message if you find someone to do this. I maybe interested in pitching in.

You all should check out this thread on the same topic. People over there are talking about potential ways to implement this and also the idea of doing a code bounty.
