Project Details

Description : Give the ability to add tags inside threads.

Features:
Thread Creation

Adds a modern, styled Tagify input field on newthread.php
Input matches MyBB .textbox theme (dark mode + consistent padding)
Allows inserting multiple tags per thread
Autocomplete suggestions from previously used tags

Thread Editing

Allows editing tags from editpost.php (first post only)
Loads existing tags into the input field
Saves updated tags and replaces old ones
Automatically updates sidebar tag cache

Database + Storage

Tags are stored in a custom mybb_threadtagstable
Automatically created on plugin activation
One entry per tag per thread (tid + tag)

Display

Tags are displayed in showthread.php below the thread title
Tags are clickable, linking to search results
Uses a custom CSS class .item-blog-tag for visual style (background image, font, shadow)
Also styled consistently in the sidebar

Sidebar Integration

Optional setting: enable/disable sidebar tags from ACP
Variable {$sidebartags} can be placed in any template
Displays the last 20 most recently used tags
Styled identically to showthread tags
Data is cached using MyBB's $cache system to reduce DB load

Configuration:

Modify newthread template:

<!-- Find: -->
{$posticons}

<!-- Add before it: -->
{$tags_input}

Inside showthread template

<!-- Find: -->
{$thread['threadprefix']}

<!-- Add after it: -->
{$showthread_tags}

If you have to keep {$sidebartags} that will display the last 20 tags used in any template where the variable {$sidebartags} exists make sure that in

ACP -> Configuration -> Settings -> Plugin Settings ->  Modern Tags Settings

The Option Enable Sidebar Recent Tags is set to Yes

If you want the tag links (like search.php?action=tag&tag=cs) to actually list matching threads :

Go to search.php in your root and find the line :

$mybb->input['action'] = $mybb->get_input('action');

Add below to it this :

if ($mybb->input['action'] === 'tag' && !empty($mybb->input['tag'])) {
    global $theme, $templates, $header, $footer, $headerinclude, $lang;

    add_breadcrumb("Tag Search", "search.php?action=tag");
    $tag = htmlspecialchars_uni($mybb->get_input('tag'));
    $escaped_tag = $db->escape_string($tag);

    // Find threads with this tag
    $tids = [];
    $query = $db->simple_select('threadtags', 'tid', "tag='" . $escaped_tag . "'");
    while ($row = $db->fetch_array($query)) {
        $tids[] = (int)$row['tid'];
    }

    if (empty($tids)) {
        error("No threads found for tag: <strong>{$tag}</strong>");
    }

    $threadlist = "";
    $thread_query = $db->query("
        SELECT t.*, f.name AS forumname
        FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "threads t
        LEFT JOIN " . TABLE_PREFIX . "forums f ON (f.fid = t.fid)
        WHERE t.tid IN (" . implode(",", $tids) . ") AND t.visible=1
        ORDER BY t.lastpost DESC
    ");

    while ($thread = $db->fetch_array($thread_query)) {
        $thread['subject'] = htmlspecialchars_uni($thread['subject']);
        $thread['threadlink'] = get_thread_link($thread['tid']);
        $thread['forumlink'] = get_forum_link($thread['fid']);
        $threadlist .= "<li style='margin-bottom: 10px;'>
            <a href='{$thread['threadlink']}' style='font-weight: bold;'>{$thread['subject']}</a>
            <div style='font-size: 11px; color: #999;'>Forum: <a href='{$thread['forumlink']}'>{$thread['forumname']}</a></div>
        </li>";
    }

    eval("\$searchresults = \"<html xml:lang="en" lang="en" xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
    <head>
        <title>Threads tagged with {$tag}</title>
        {\$headerinclude}
    </head>
    <body>
        {\$header}
        <table width='100%' border='0' align='center' cellpadding='10'>
            <tr>
                <td class='trow1'>
                    <h2 style='margin-bottom: 15px;'>Threads tagged with: <span style='color: #3b8beb;'>#{$tag}</span></h2>
                    <ul style='list-style: none; padding-left: 0;'>{$threadlist}</ul>
                </td>
            </tr>
        </table>
        {\$footer}
    </body>
    </html>\";");

    output_page($searchresults);
    exit;
}
