To allow tags on an entity type, you must allow the tags relation between Tag and you entity type(s).

For instance to activate the tag functionnality on Person, Company and Division entity type, one should add to his schema:

from yams.buildobjs import RelationDefinition
class tags(RelationDefinition):
    subject = 'Tag'
    object = ('Person', 'Company', 'Division')

You should then see the tags box appearing on the primary view for entities of those type. The`TagsBox` display tags applied to the entity but also provides an easily way to add / remove tags, if you’ve the permission to do so.

More views

• The SimilarEntitiesBox shows some entities which share the most tags together

• The TagsCloudView, a classical, displaying a set of tags appearing more or less big according to the number of tagged entities. It’s used by the TagsCouldBox, which is not visible by default (user can activate it using their preferences) but that you can activate by default using the code snippet below:

  from cubes.tag.views import TagsCloudBox
  # make the tags cloud box visible by default
  TagsCloudBox.visible = True

• The primary view for tags provides a tags merging interface to site administrators, very useful to manage tags on a site where people tend to express the same thing with different words, or spelling.
