I’m on the initial stages for the next version of Cat2Tag, which will have some extra features and some quick fixes, but basically this is what I’m trying to accomplish for the next release:
Technorati Tags
I don’t really find them really necessary nor useful, but seeing many people are requesting this feature, it will be included in the next version, turned-off by default, i’ll later explain how it will be turned on.
Collective-Tagging
Don’t really mind the concept, in short, the plugin will let the readers tag the posts, again some may find it useful, some others don’t, so again, it will be turned-off by default. I need to research a lot more into this, and if an anonymous user can take part of this collective-tagging thing or it is neccesary to register before.
Control Panel
I think for more customization, a control panel is required, and last time I checked there’s a way to dynamically add a control panel, the point here is to make the plugin zero invasive to any Wordpress installation, with that I mean, “only one file for everything”.
Custom Separators
If you don’t like the blank spaces as a separator, you can choose any symbol but alphanumerical and international symbols like á or ñ.
Sub-Tags
Sub-Tags = Sub-Categories, the most practical way to flag a subcategory if found could be using the main tag, then write a special symbol indicating we’re going to create a sub-category (different from the separator symbol), then write the name of the new sub-category, something like this:
- You have a main category called “Cat”
- You want to have a sub-category of “Cat” called “SubCat”
- In order to have “SubCat” as a subcategory of “Cat” you will need to write on the tags field “Cat > SubCat”.
If you have better ways to make this, please post it in the comments.
And those are the main new features I plan for the next version of Cat2Tag. And again I encourage you to post your opinions, bug reports and feedback about this plugin in the comments.
