Tagging for files and folders + search

[Yardboy]

Hiya -

I implemented a tagging feature in my own version of boxroom a couple months ago, along with a search for files/folders on tags. I took the time today to migrate it into a fork of your current branch.

Demo: http://screencast.com/t/RmG3wChW7v6

I used the following when writing this:

• acts-as-taggable-on (https://github.com/mbleigh/acts-as-taggable-on)
• sugar.js (http://sugarjs.com/)

Not sure how you feel about additional gems/js libraries.

Would you like a pull request for this feature? I don't have a full battery of tests written, yet, and there are a couple of things to cleanup, but I'll be happy to send it along once I get that done.

I like what I see in your screencast! Did you make sure the permissions stuff was taken into account properly? Wouldn't want files/folders to show up in search results that users are not supposed to see.

Yeah, that's part of the "cleanup" I still need to do. My client's
installation doesn't make use of the permissions system - all their users
are internal and have access to everything. So, I haven't taken the time to
build that out, unless you like it enough to take a pull request. If it
will make it into app, then it's worth the time.

Also working on a "download folder as a zip file" feature.

Hi, sorry for the late reply. I was away on vacation for a few days. It looks great, so I will definitely accept your pull request.

It looks like acts-as-taggable-on is actively maintained, so I have no problem adding that gem to the app. Is there a gem for sugarjs? I'd to be able to update to new versions of the library by doing bundle update.

Hiya -

No worries. "Vacation" - I'm not sure I understand this word - what does it
mean. :)

SugarJS is just an included javascript file. I'm personally not a fan of
using a gem just to include a js file. There is a gem out there but it does
not look actively maintained. I use it by default everywhere, but in this
case I don't think I've actually used more than one or two of the features

• so, I will rewrite them in stock js and pull SugarJS out, if you'd rather
  I did that.

For future, I would recommend having a look at it though, it's a wonderful
little add on for js work.

I've got permissions done and just need to wrap up the tests. Probably
another week or two and then I'll get it to you.

Any update on this?

Thanks!

@Yardboy, would you still be willing to send a pull request for this? It's OK to use SugarJS.
