Batch assignment and detachment of tags
Logging tag changes

The initial authors of the plugin are Emiliano Heyns and Vladimir Kiselev.

Installation

These installation instructions are based on Redmine 2.6.0. For instructions for previous versions, see Redmine wiki.

To install the plugin
- Download the .ZIP archive, extract files and copy the plugin directory into #{REDMINE_ROOT}/plugins.
Or
- Change you current directory to your Redmine root directory:
```
  cd {REDMINE_ROOT}
```
  Copy the plugin from GitHub using the following commands:
```
  git clone https://github.com/Restream/redmine_tagging.git plugins/redmine_tagging
```
Update the Gemfile.lock file by running the following commands:
```
  rm Gemfile.lock  
  bundle install
```

Run the migrations generator to create tables for tags and associations:

 bundle exec rake acts_as_taggable_on_engine:install:migrations RAILS_ENV=production

Run the following commands to upgrade your database (make a database backup before):

 bundle exec rake db:migrate RAILS_ENV=production
 bundle exec rake db:migrate_plugins RAILS_ENV=production

Restart Redmine.

Now you should be able to see the plugin in Administration > Plugins.

Usage

The plugin enables you to add tags to wiki and issue pages using either the Tags field or inline tags. To switch between these two modes, you should enable or disable the corresponding check boxes in the plugin settings.

To switch to inline tag editing, go to Administration > Plugins, click Configure, select the corresponding check boxes and click Apply.

After changing the settings, run the following command:

bundle exec rake redmine:tagging:reconfigure RAILS_ENV=production

Failure to do so will result in loss of data (tags) when switching to another tagging mode.

Inline tags can be added using the following syntax:

{{tag(tag_name)}}

Note that inline tags are saved when the object body is rendered. That's why if you want to remove all tags from an object, you must first add {{tag}} to its body to actually clear the tags. After that you can remove {{tag}} from the object body.

Adding {{tagcloud}} will generate a tag cloud, which will be displayed in the sidebar.

The most often used tags are displayed in a larger font.

By default, inline tag editing is disabled. In this mode, you can type tags into the Tags field to add them to an issue or wiki page. You can use spaces or commas as tag separators.
