Thanks to Евгений for reporting these bugs and patches:
- BUG: SQL correction of PhilTags import function
- BUG: Do not not show already included tags in article. i mean, if you add some tags, and then will edit the article again, you will not see previously added tags
- BUG: cedTag will not let you manage tags from backend, if you are not logged in frontend, because of function canUserDoTagOperations in /helper/helper.php
- BUG: When i press Enter to add the tag, it not only adds the tag, but refreshes inner page and load there /administrator/index.php
- NEW: Enable choosing part of the sef url ('cedtag' to 'tag' or whatever, in cedTagSef.php) from backend
- NEW: Customized and clickable Breadcrumbs. So, it now look something like: Home->Tags->ANYTAG
Евгений has also some proposal for future work as well, some that went in 2.5.6
- Use content plugins for blog layout for a tag
-
Use Breadcrumbs. So, it should look something like: Home->Tags->ANYTAG
