Adds global tags for posts and comments in a multisite installation. Uses the Multisite Taxonomies plugin to create taxonomies.

Description

This plugin relies on the Multisite Taxonomies plugin to perform network wide queries. Adding and managing taxonomies in the network admin.

Spaces Global Tags creates two new multisite taxonomies. Both taxonomies are assigned to the post post-type. The first one global_comment_tags is storing #tags made in comments on the post. The second one global_post_tags allows post authors to create #tags while writing posts.

When using the frontend editor provided by Spaces it shows an autocompletion for existing tags and allows you to create new ones on the fly.

Other notable features:

• Global Tag archive pages https://example.com/multitaxo/<taxonomy_name>/<tag_slug>
• Global Taxonomy archive pages https://example.com/multitaxo/<taxonomy_name>/
• Allow tagging in the P2 style aka adding #foo in the post_content and comment_text.

Installation

Clone it, love it, hate it.

1. Install the Multisite Taxonomies and network activate it.
2. Install this plugin and network activate it.
3. Find the taxonomies in the network admin.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this replace the default tags in a WordPress multisite

No. But it does disable them on the post object type.

Is there a global search available

No, not yet. It will be integrated with the Spaces search, but for now you will have to click on the tags to reach the archive pages.

I found a bug, where can I report it?
