Prerequisites

• I am requesting the new feature to the correct repository.
• I checked the latest version on GitHub and the README.md documentation to ensure that this functionality does not already exist.
• I searched to make sure that this feature has not already been requested.
• I have, or I know someone who has, the ability and willingness to test the new feature on a Moodle LMS-based site.
• I agree to submit one feature request per issue ticket (do not submit multiple requests in one issue ticket).
• I understand that development and support is provided by volunteer(s) and that all final implementation decisions are up TNG Consulting Inc.

Feature Request - The User Story

I want to make global tags for the UN Sustainable Development Goals. However, I noticed that numbers are not allowed in Global Tags. Could that limitation be removed in a next update? Or would it run into problems if you do?

Use case: There are 17 SDG with specific icons. So I wanted to make {SDG1} to {SDG17}. I don't know a simple solution for this, teachers and students should be able to easily add such an icon to there courses/texts. SDG_one to SDG_seventeen would be an option, but a bit far fetched. I think I will get the remark a couple of times a day: why are the numbers fully written?

Alterative you have considered

I can also try Generico or C4L to create this, but Filter Codes is used more at our University.

Planning on submitting a solution in a pull request (PR)?

Hi @Richardvi ,

Thank you for your request. I cannot think of any reason why I would have excluded the possibility of using numbers. It was likely just an oversight. I will look into it and let you know when it is ready for testing.

Best regards,

Michael

Hi @Richardvi ,

Just to let you know, your request has been fulfilled. You can now use numbers in the name of global tags using FilterCodes version (2024100702 or later) here on GitHub. If you would be so kind, I would appreciate it if you would give it a try and let me know if it works for you. If it does, this update will be included in the next release of FilterCodes.

Best regards,

Michael

Thanks Michael! I'm going to test it out now.

Seems to work fine Michael, thanks again!

One thing I noted... the 'pretty html' option works a little bit strange. When it's checked, I get the tiny_mce editor. When I enter the source code option in that editor and add some simple HTML (f.e. image tag), it will not save the info.

It think the HTML is being cleared upon safe.

When I uncheck the 'pretty html' option, I can safe my html codes. Then I can check it again and, save, ans see how it really looks in the tiny_mce editor.

So it was confusing, but it works.
