Dan,
Here you go: http://kitt.hodsden.com/drupal/extract_tags_module
You'll have to use comma separated tags, instead of space separated:
tags: tag1, tag3, taginfinity
Enjoy.
Kitt.
Quoting Dan Karran:
Does anybody know of an existing module which will extract tags from the body of a post (i.e. a line like "Tags: tag1 tag2 tag3") and pass them to the taxonomy system to tag that node?
I've had a skim through the Taxonomy related module list on drupal.org and didn't spot anything...
I am not sure why one would want to do this? Can someone explain why I would want to embed the tags in my node text instead of adding the appropriate category (vocabulary) settings to the content type? I have hierarchy disabled and free tagging checked and it allows me to enter a comma separated list. I also get the benefit of dynamic suggested terms based on what is being entered.
What Dan said.
Ever use Flickr? Ever use Flickr via mobile phone or email where you can tag photos with "tags: tag2 tag3" ? Ever duplicate this functionality on your own site where you can post via your cell phone via email or SMS?
Yeah, that's why: because not everyone is sitting at the Drupal interface typing in node content.
And, really, it's okay. People use software in ways you wouldn't expect them to, sometimes in creative ways, sometimes in ways you think are dumb. Doesn't matter. If it works for them, then let them use it that way.
Kitt.
