Interesting mod
Does this include a search feature?

Very Interesting mod!

very nice mod, something that would make it even better would be to have an "Alert" feature for certain tags so that a person gets an email or IM when a new topic is started with that tag.

wow! yes, it'll be great! but how to implement?
i have to start search after every post|edit? or i have to add new table {author, tag} and notify all authors with this tag? i.m.h.o., that is very expensive...

well not really. it should only be done after every new thread - not after every new post. as the label is added by the thread starter it is only his/her first post that needs to do this search and then email/PM to the users who have this tag.

otherwise, your idea of accumulating the posts in the authors profile sounds like a good alternative.

Please, try my another mod with same search technique: Elektra Profile with Labels
http://www.punres.org/viewtopic.php?id=2941
Additional profile fields and quick search by interests.

btw - i forgot to mention that your instructions for installing the mod has 2 x purge_label, explode_labels, and implode_labels in functions and so produces an error.

i noticed that the labels are not part of the regular search for the forum (not available in "Search in" on search.php) - do you plan to change this in a future version so that a choice is given to search only labels like now OR labels and normal search together?

another simple modification would be to have an option of including a label already for the user by them just clicking a link to post a new thread (say on the label search results page after having searched for a label), like http://url.com/forums/post.php?fid=1&am … LABELNAME2 so the user can forget about adding labels in this case as they just follow the link from the search page.

draft for next release:
- acumulate all labels from user topics. show them in user profile.
- accumulate last 5 user searches. save them in session cookies.

post & edit topic from WOULD like:

this is list of posted and searched labels for substitution

naitkris, it sounds interesting! Would you publicate your extension on complete set?

I am having a problem with this mod. When I create a new post the label is not present. The only way it works is for me to go in and edit the post and then add the label and then it works. What am I doing wrong. I've looked over the instruction over and over again and it all seems fine. I've pasted area I imagine would be most likely to cause the problem. Maybe someone can see if I did something wrong.

            // Create the topic
    $db->query('INSERT INTO '.$db->prefix.'topics (poster, subject, posted, last_post, last_poster, forum_id, labels, icon_topic) VALUES(\''.$db->escape($username).'\', \''.$db->escape($subject).'\', '.$now.', '.$now.', \''.$db->escape($username).'\', '.$fid.', \''.$db->escape($labels).'\', '.$icon_topic.')') or error('Unable to create topic', __FILE__, __LINE__, $db->error());
