The Sueetie Tag Control can be dropped into any application to assign tags to the current item
Tags Everywhere!
The Sueetie Tag Control sets the stage for "Tags Everywhere!" The Tag Control is what makes future tag and search enhancements possible. The first use of the Sueetie Tag Control can be seen at the bottom of Sueetie CMS Pages. A normal user would view the tags as shown here.
A user with Edit permissions for the item, here the content page, would be shown the Tag Icon.
The Tag Icon pops open the Tag Editor Panel shown here. What you're going to love about the Sueetie Tag Editor is that it uses
Remy Sharp's Tag Suggestion jQuery script. Here's the
Tag Suggestion demo page if you want to get a feel for the functionality.
What's displayed in the Sueetie Tag Editor Suggestion List are Sueetie Master Tags. Sueetie Master Tags are the global tags shared by all Sueetie Applications. Because they are global tags for the community, the same suggested tags will appear in, say, the Media Gallery that display on a Sueetie CMS Page. I should also mention that new tags can be added dynamically at any time.
Using the Tag Control
The Sueetie Tag Control uses jQuery scripting and WCF Services to retrieve suggestions and update tag assignments inline without the need for postback. Yet using the Sueetie Tag Control is as easy as dropping the HTML control onto a web page as shown below. Some of the available properties are shown in the Intellisense list.
Editor Roles can be assigned with the control's "Roles" property. Assigning Roles is not necessary since the Tag Control is smart enough to know if the user can modify that item's tags.
Tags and Search¶
Tags aren't very useful unless content can be easily retrieved by tags, so the Sueetie Tag Control is integrated into the Sueetie Global Search Engine. Here is what is shown when clicking on the "CMS" tag shown in the previous screen excerpts and at bottom of Sueetie.com CMS Pages.
