JTags ComponentModulePluginLanguage

What is JTags?
JTags is a Joomla! Extension for adding keywords (tags) to Joomla! Content.
What is it for?
The general project idea is to enable users inserting specific labels to tag any Joomla! content. Some time ago I was browsing some site and looked for articles related to "iPhone". Unfortunately I was forced to browse every page and stare at text just focused to find requested label. I guess many of you was at the similar situation, so you know how it is tiring and frustrating. If only I could just select/type "iPhone" tag, I would find requested articles just in eye blink.

the few negative reviews do cover it i think.
When you have a full website and your not planning to add any more content then this tag thing gives you the feeling you have to start over again.
nobody in his right mind would edit 478 content pages in order to add some tags.
but i gave it a try.
Uninstalling wasnt easy as well.
the plugin failed and trashed my site as i use gzip and that somehow was a problem..

When navigating to your articles through JTags, the articles URL changes and is not the same as what Joomla! creates. This makes module placement on selected articles impossible using JTags. You might want to show all your modules on all your pages and you will be fine, but if you want to show modules and menus on specific pages they will not show if you navigate to them via JTags. Breadcrumbs will also not work as expected. This is a major flaw and is the reason for a low rating.

This component fills a big black empty space desperately needed in Joomla. The new Version 1.1 does just what it says! it is very easy to use and fits extremely well into the 10 templates I tested it on. Thumbs up for this great add-on.

The same old story, it's not a real tagging extension I don't know why it's call it that way, it just use search which is a totally different story. Right now it's kind of useless, you can just use search instead, what's the difference ? I know it's harder to make a real tagging extension but it worth much more.

If you are working on a blog or a news portal, that extension is really useful

This is a wonderful nice Joomla add-on that with a few extra features will be a real top 10 for Joomla 1.5 framework. If you have not tried this yet - just one thing!

Do it!

This is something Joomla desperately needed. Great work!

Very nice, but one big problem - if you go from the tag search result to an article the url of the article will be wrong (instead of the article's usual url it says /component/content/article/xx ). This means that a menu and other modules assigned to the article may not show up. Also not working with breadcrumbs.

You should be redirected to the article url and not the component url in the search result if this extension really shall work.

I've been waiting a very long time for such an extension to be made. This has made my website more like a blog, which is exactly what I needed, and adds in some very cool features that I like.

I would say the only two things that need to change is to provide the ability to give a style to the tags module, and to also type tags before hitting save on an article. Otherwise, this is an excellent extension to use.
Simple and nice component ! Good work !

If author will develop this extension, in feature it could be "must to have" extension for every Jommla installation.

Why Joomla team wouldn't develop such simple thing in core installation. Cross categorization problem is still there (Drupal beats Joomla in this field)...

very easy to use and neat
thanks for providing, this was a gap.
a small user guide would be fine.
