    • tag multiple pages using title search

    Posted by Justin Boyd posts: 1 United States

    I have just taken over a tiki powered knowledge base with over 5000 documents, none of which have tags. The previous admins built our knowledge base using structures, but it's searchability is greatly hampered by years of non standardized page creation where full text searches bring about so many non relevant results that our company has all but abandoned it's use.

    We believe we can resolve many of the issues by tagging the pages with an organized tagging method. Currently the only method that I can find within tiki is go to through our structures and add tags page by page, which could take several months. Are there any projects in the works or has anyone succeeded in tagging groups of pages based on search criteria?

    I know this can be done running SQL queries and made simpler by developing some php scripts that can do some error checking, but I do not want to invent a wheel that is already rolling out there somewhere. If not, are there some plug-ins in existence that I might build off of that would give me a head start?

    I am a novice at php and have examined the database table and I know how to do what I need to do, but I don't want to pioneer a development project that might be already in the works or has already been achieved. I have done extensive searching through github, gitlabs and documentation and have not found any leads. Any assistance would be appreciated.

    We are using Tiki 24 LTS and planning to upgrade to 27 LTS once the tagging and some other auditing has been completed.

    Thank you for any assistance.

    I think the way to do it would be similar to this topic:
