New tagging UI doesnt allow new tags added on the fly

[cam-findlay]

I do like the new tag box on the Article but this requires that tags are created before use which from a content management and user experience point of view isn't perhaps a good thing.

Is there a way to allow the ListboxField to be writable and turn a comma separated list into entries that are saved back into our tag objects?

no idea how to do it... i will have to dig into this a lot more...

hey cam, look at this module! https://github.com/sheadawson/silverstripe-quickaddnew

Dependency on silverstripe-quickaddnew module should be written in ReadMe section.

Install silverstripe-quickaddnew [Ensure folder name is "quickaddnew" not "addnew" as error message tells you]

Then at Line 117 in Code->DataObjects->DOArticle.php

Replace $addtags->useAddNew('DOTag',$MyTags());

with

$addtags->useAddNew('DOTag',$MyTags); [note $MyTags are without parenthesis.]

Then you will be able to add new tag on the fly.

In order to create new tag, Click add "Add New" button, A popup will appear, Give new tag name then It will be shown in Tags field.
