Anyone for #hashtags..?

Not a big issue, but I'm curious as to whether anyone is writing a plugin to provide Twitter style hashtags instead of/as well as the usual tagging method? A lot of people find hashtags very easy and convenient to use, and there's no need for an extra input field (which many people can't be bothered to use). It would also go some way to loose multi-site 'integration' at the UI level for members. Just a thought.

This is kind of implemented already, actually. Hashtags seem to automaticly link to

/search?Search=#hashtag&Mode=like

Yup. #feature-request #vanilla2

Neat. I hadn't thought to try it! Thanks @chi1 and @Lincoln.

@lincoln i tried this on my forum and it did nothing. is there something that needs to be enabled specifically?

Lincoln

Have you not been copying config-defaults.php in your upgrades This must be in your config:

$Configuration['Garden']['Format']['Hashtags'] = TRUE;

Note that using Markdown as your formatter will break hashtags.

oh hadn't noticed that before. im relatively new to vanilla, but i really like the software so far.

I just turned it on, it seems totally disconnected from the discussion tagging system. is there anyway to tie them together?

Lincoln

No, they don't work together unfortunately.
