We just purchased your tags module for use in our IS department information/collaboration portal. 

We are using SQL Server Express 2005 and DNN 4.8.2 with Evan O'Neil's Minimalist skin.

When we try to use the default settings, we get tags but they are not links so they have no value.  They are only links when I turn on the text link to portal search switch but then they are only standard text links with no relative frequency information indicated by font color or size.

Also, I realize that this is, I believe, version 1.0 of this product and I haven't looked at your stored procedures, yet, to see how I might be able to enhance their utility, but I would like to be able to have a phrase table where important multi-word phrases could be recognized rather than only recognizing single words.

Hi, yes this is the initial version and we are working on future enhancements. Many of these include more detailed integration with DotNetNuke Forums, Active Forums, Blogs/Wiki etc... I understand your concern with multi word tags but not sure about the best thing to do with it, maybe search and if those words are found together count them as a single instance?

As far as search links... This should be using different style sheet classes, but, these are not initially added into the stylesheet. You will probably have to have them added as A.Medium, A.Low etc... Right now all of the default classes are setup in the stylesheet class for text and not hyperlinks but you should still be able to.

Also... Researching this more the stylesheet classes for hyperlinks should be .class:Link.

So....

.DynamicTags_HighSignificance:Link {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #92B847;
}

.DynamicTags_MediumSignificance :Link {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FF9900;
}

.DynamicTags_LowSignificance:Link {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #3A73BB;
}


.DynamicTags_HighSignificance {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #92B847;
}

.DynamicTags_MediumSignificance {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 13px;
font-weight: bold;
color: #FF9900;
}

.DynamicTags_LowSignificance {
font-family: Tahoma, Arial, Helvetica;
font-size: 12px;
font-weight: normal;
color: #3A73BB;
}


Is what I set ours too on the main Dynamic Tags page and it appears to work then for both Links and modules where the feature isn't turned on.

Here is the HTML as rendered with the CSS in your post:

 

As you can see, no anchor tags.

Ideas?

Also, as for groups of words, I would envision a table that would be manually maintained by the user (preferably with a user interface for those without access to sql server tools) where phrase groups could be entered that are then searched for and, as you said, would be counted as single entities.  A sophisticated (and expensive) rules engine could do this, of course, but we're talking DNN here, not a BI tool.

Also, I'd like to see you use stored procedures or views for these queries with a standard interface that would allow more sophisticated users the ability to tie in other modules that you don't support out of the box.  I created a view, for example, that is run by the reports module that is a "What's New" module (since they dropped support for the What's New module that used to ship with DNN) that I can simply modify as I want to add support for additional modules.  By using stored procedures or views you could make this module extensible as well.

Let me know if you have any other ideas on the link issue.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your reply.

I tried the CSS in your post with no results.  The anchor tags are not being created unless I select the "Make text link..." option.

Here is the HTML as rendered with the "Make text link..." option:

Well... It is at least setting the stylesheet class names to different stylesheet classes throughout (such as DynamicTags_LowSignificance and DynamicTags_MediumSignificance). The stylesheet properties that I copied/pasted above are exact what we are using on our Dynamic Tags Product Page and you will see that the tags on the top of the page and the tags on the left hand side all are using the classes specified for links and standard. Notice that the top module is rendering tags that are not links and the left hand column tags are links to the DNN search area. One thing - You might have to hit refresh or F5 if you save the stylesheet class before the page will refresh with the proper changes.

Ummmm..... Check out our demo page and also, if it still is not showing changes please open a support ticket on Snowcovered and we can review this further if you get us edit rights to the module.
