[drupal-devel] [feature] AJAX Google Suggest feature for Folksonomy Module

[Steven]

Issue status update for http://drupal.org/node/21116

 Project:      Drupal
 Version:      cvs
 Component:    taxonomy.module
 Category:     feature requests
 Priority:     normal
 Assigned to:  killes at www.drop.org
 Reported by:  factoryjoe
 Updated by:   Steven
 Status:       patch

Good patch, some niggles:



The check_plain() does nothing to either commas or pipes, so you can do
it at the end after all the imploding. In fact, you also need to
check_plain() the existing words again, so moving the check_plain() to
the end fixes that too. The existing words are in plain-text form when
they arrive and need to be inserted back into HTML.
First you explode by ',' (no space), then you implode by ', ' (with
space). It seems to me that each time you use an autocompletion
suggestion, you get extra spaces after a comma. It's possible HTML's
whitespace rules collapse the multiple spaces, but it needs to be
tested.
Like the other Ajax patch, we should hardcode $limit to prevent abuse.

When adding folksonomy terms to a node, drawing from existing terms
would be a useful feature. There are two options worth considering:



An initially hidden flat list of the most used 150 tags that you can
click to add to your text input (see my demo [1])
A Google-suggest [2] like feature for pulling out of /all available/
tags

This was intended for Morbus' freetagging code, which doesn't have a
separate project. Thus, I'm moving it to the drupal project.

I think that should be easy once Thox' Ajax code has hit core.

Ok, somebody please try this patch. You'll need to apply the ajax patch
first.
