Mass Tagging
-
I’m thinking about developing a way to add lots of tags automatically. I found the directory fp-content/plugin_tag and learned how the files in it work. Do I need to touch other files when adding tags?
-
No, you don't.
Tagging isn't a feature of flatpress, it's just a plugin of mine and because of this it uses just files in this directory to interface with the FP System.
Actually there are other files: the fp-content/plugin_tag directory that contains an index for the tags and it's used to show all entries that have a specific tag and there are some files in the cache, used to speed up the process and use less server resources.

Thank you. Piero, how do you make a backup of your plugin_tag directory? I keep a complete copy of the whole LAttilaD.org on my hard disk, time to time downloading the changes. But Total Commander cannot download this directory, since there is both an a.txt and an A.txt, and either one has to be overwritten with the other one. There is an option in TC to determine whether or not to convert case when uploading, but there is no such option for downloading…

Sorry, I haven't never thought that Windows filesystems are case insensitive because I use Linux to develop and in my webserver.
I'll release a new version to fix this problem.

Thank you. Please consider this topic when doing it.

Additionally, I recommend to use the first character, not byte, for file names. Tags starting with accented letters result in files like Ã.txt and Å.txt, according to the first byte of the UTF-8 code of their first character. This can result in copying problems, too.
