This files describes API changes in tagging, information provided here is intended especially for developers. === 3.6 === * The following functions have been finally deprecated and can not be used anymore: * tag_type_set() * tag_description_set() * tag_get_tags() * tag_get_tags_array() * tag_get_tags_csv() * tag_get_tags_ids() * tag_get_id() * tag_rename() * tag_delete_instance() * tag_add() * tag_assign() * tag_record_count() * tag_record_tagged_with() * tag_set_flag() * tag_unset_flag() * tag_print_cloud() * tag_print_description_box() * tag_print_management_box() * tag_print_search_box() * tag_print_search_results() * tag_print_tagged_users_table() * tag_print_user_box() * tag_print_user_list() * tag_display_name * tag_normalize * tag_get_related_tags_csv() * tag_set() * tag_set_add() * tag_set_delete() * tag_get() * tag_get_related_tags() * tag_delete * tag_delete_instances() * tag_cleanup() * tag_bulk_delete_instances() * tag_compute_correlations() * tag_process_computed_correlation() * tag_cron() * tag_find_tags() * tag_get_name() * tag_get_correlated() * tag_cloud_sort() === 3.1 === * Each plugin must define the tag areas it uses in plugindir/db/tag.php See https://docs.moodle.org/dev/Tag_API for more details. * When adding a 'tags' form element the component and itemtype must be specified in the element attributes. * Tag name is no longer a unique field in 'tag' table, tags may be separated in tag collections * Specifying component is also required when retrieving item tags. This will allow different components to add tags to the same table (for example blog and forum posts) and even suggest alternative tagging for the same items. * All tag_* functions were deprecated because they now require either tag collection id or component, some were moved to the new class core_tag_tag and some - to the renderers or templates. As usual, the deprecated function code and debugging message will provide you with the suggestions of the alternative. Please note that all deprecated functions will be removed after several major releases. - tag_type_set - tag_description_set - tag_get_tags - tag_get_tags_array - tag_get_tags_csv - tag_get_tags_ids - tag_get_id - tag_rename - tag_delete_instance - tag_find_records - tag_add - tag_assign - tag_record_count - tag_record_tagged_with - tag_set_flag - tag_unset_flag - tag_print_cloud - tag_print_description_box - tag_print_management_box - tag_print_search_box - tag_print_search_results - tag_print_tagged_users_table - tag_print_user_box - tag_print_user_list - tag_display_name - tag_normalize - tag_get_related_tags_csv - tag_set - tag_set_add - tag_set_delete - tag_get - tag_get_related_tags - tag_delete - tag_delete_instances - tag_cleanup - tag_bulk_delete_instances - tag_compute_correlations - tag_process_computed_correlation - tag_cron - tag_find_tags - tag_get_name - tag_get_correlated - tag_cloud_sort * Char field 'tagtype' in database table 'tag' is replaced with int (0 or 1) field 'isstandard'. === 3.0 === * Tagging courses is now implemented without user id - through course edit form or special "Course tags" form. All coursetag_* functions in /tag/coursetagslib.php were deprecated without replacement and related JS code was removed. Config variable $CFG->block_tags_showcoursetags was removed. === 2.7 === * The functions tag_set, tag_set_add, tag_set_delete and tag_assign now expect the component and contextid of the item being tagged. === 2.6 === More cleanup was done to tag cloud sorting which involved some API changes, see MDL_39800 * tag_print_cloud() arguments were changed. * coursetag_get_tags() arguments were changed. * coursetag_get_all_tags() arguments were changed. * coursetag_sort() was removed. === 2.4 === Significant cleanup was done to course tags which involved some API changes, see MDL-15471 * tag_print_cloud() arguments were changed * coursetag_print_cloud() was removed. * coursetag_get_official_keywords() was removed * coursetag_rss_feeds() was removed
