Tagging Tools plugin for Question2Answer
=================================================

This is an event plugin for popular open source Q&A platform, [Question2Answer](http://www.question2answer.org). It allows you to select 'tag synonyms' - unwanted or duplicate tags that should be changed or removed.

For example if you had 'websites' as a tag, some questions may also get tagged 'website'. With this plugin you can set 'website' to always be changed to 'websites' when a user enters it.
For example if you had `websites` as a tag, some users may tag a question with `website` instead. With this plugin you can set `website` to always be changed to `websites` when a user enters it.



INSTALLATION & USAGE
Installation & Usage
-------------------------------------------------

1. Download and extract the files to a subfolder such as `tagging-tools` inside the `qa-plugins` folder of your Q2A installation. Since the Github repo is updated regularly, a stable versioned package is also provided, e.g. `Q2A-Tagging-Tools-1.5.zip`

WARNING: if you have a lot of questions on your site, converting all the old questions will take a long time. Version 1.5 now uses AJAX to edit a few posts at a time, however, it may still cause high MySQL and Apache CPU usage. It's recommended that you add tag synonyms a handful at a time to avoid too much overhead.

6. The option "Prevent new users from creating new tags" adds a Javascript barrier preventing low-rep users from creating new tags. Currently there is no way to replicate this on the server side without hacking the core, but that will rarely be a problem.
