Ultimate Tag Warrior
Posted by Jonathan Ng | Filed under Technical
As I find less time to do web development, I wander online and blog about a variety of things. I added a “tech” category, but obviously it didn’t suffice. So at last, I started tagging my posts.
First step was to find a tagging plug-in for wordpress. I simply Googled and found this: Ultimate Tag Warrior. The name itself is impressive enough. The plugin, certainly “ultimate”.
Ultimate Tag Warritor (or UTW), is surprisingly easy to install. Here are the steps:
- Upload the folder to your plugins folder and enable it in the Plugins tab.
- Under Options -> Tags, select the “Use Permalink” option.
- Regenerate your permalinks under Options -> Permalinks.
Lastly, displaying the tag list in your WordPress loop. The example given in the help file displays an unordered list, which I rarely come across. Mine’s a comma seperated list. Oh, and before you preview your site, a daunting task awaits you: tagging all your blog posts. Lucky for me, 29 posts isn’t that bad.
< ?php UTW_ShowTagsForCurrentPost("commalist") ?>Anyway, UTW has lots more functionality. For instance, generating tag clouds and not to mention a variety graphs. Unfortunately, I’m still in the progress of developing better navigations and an archive page (tags listing) for the site. So pleae wait till, erm… my semester break starts. :D
