Jerome’s Keyword Manager

94

Update: Since WordPress 2.3 you don’t need Jeromes Keywords anymore since WordPress offers tagging right out of the box. So my manager is deprecated also – if you use an older version of WordPress i encourage you to update immediately.

Even if Jerome’s Keywords is a very, very nice and useful wp-plugin – I still missed something. How could i update previously entered tags without having to edit every single post?

The solution

The marvelous jeromes-keyword-manager (final version)

Features

These are the features i’ve been missing ever since i installed jerome’s keywords:

  • Rename, Replace or delete tags easely – All posts get updated
  • Find all posts tagged with a specific keyword
  • Find all posts without tags

Installation

How do i install a wp-plugin? Instead of repeating the old rtfm phrase i’ll explain the veeery complicated way to install one:

  1. Unzip the files into an empty directory
  2. Upload the file and directory directly into the wp-content/plugins folder of your wp-installation
  3. Go to admin panel / plugins and activate it
  4. Enjoy!

Special Thanks

Special thanks for providing ideas, problem feedback, language files, etc. go to: Mike, Juice, PlasticDreams, Sterling and all that downloaded the plugin already – You make a little developer very proud ;-)

The Future

Since Jerome’s developing on version 2 of the plugin (currently beta), which will already contain a global tag management, this little plugin will be deprecated soon. Imho it’s already better to have it all in one plugin – And i’ve learned alot about plugin programming for my second WP-plugin-project: Yet another photoblog.

Latest info: Jerome’s keywords manager will be part of jeromes-kewords v2 eventually. I’ve rewritten the code to use the new DB infrastructure and sent it to jerome, since he asked for it. Let’s have a look what will happens next ;-)

Happy Tagging!
