Taggable Behavior

Allows active record model to manage tags.

Installation and configuration

Create a table where you want to store tags and cross-table to store tag-model connections.
You can use sample SQL from schema.sql file.

In your ActiveRecord model define behaviors() method:

[php]
function behaviors() {
    return array(
        'tags' => array(
            'class' => 'ext.yiiext.behaviors.model.taggable.ETaggableBehavior',
            // Table where tags are stored
            'tagTable' => 'Tag',
            // Cross-table that stores tag-model connections.
            // By default it's your_model_tableTag
            'tagBindingTable' => 'PostTag',
            // Foreign key field field in cross-table.
            // By default it's your_model_tableId
            'modelTableFk' => 'post_id',
            // tagTableCondition - empty by default. Can be used in cases where e.g. the tag is composed of 
            // two fields and a custom search expression is needed to find the tag. Example for user table:
            // 'tagTableCondition' => new CDbExpression("CONCAT(t.name,' ',t.surname) = :tag "),
            // Tag table PK field
            'tagTablePk' => 'id',
            // Tag name field
            'tagTableName' => 'name',
            // Tag counter field
            // if null (default) does not write tag counts to DB
            'tagTableCount' => 'count',
            // Tag binding table tag ID
            'tagBindingTableTagId' => 'tagId',
            // Caching component ID. If false don't use cache.
            // Defaults to false.
            'cacheID' => 'cache',

            // Save nonexisting tags.
            // When false, throws exception when saving nonexisting tag.
            'createTagsAutomatically' => true,

            // Default tag selection criteria
            'scope' => array(
				'condition' => ' t.user_id = :user_id ',
				'params' => array( ':user_id' => Yii::app()->user->id ),
			),

			// Values to insert to tag table on adding tag
			'insertValues' => array(
				'user_id' => Yii::app()->user->id,
			),
        )
    );
}

For using AR model for tags (for example, to bind custom behavior), use EARTaggableBehavior.

To do it add following to your config:

[php]
return array(
  // ...
  'import'=>array(
		'application.models.*',
		'application.components.*',
		'ext.yiiext.behaviors.model.taggable.*',
		// ...
		// other imports
	),
	// ...
);

In your AR model implement behaviors() method:

[php]
function behaviors() {
    return array(
        'tags_with_model' => array(
            'class' => 'ext.yiiext.behaviors.model.taggable.EARTaggableBehavior',
            // tag table name
            'tagTable' => 'Tag',
            // tag model class
            'tagModel' => 'Tag',
            // ...
            // other options as shown above
        )
    );
}

Methods

setTags($tags)

Replace model tags with new tags set.

[php]
$post = new Post();
$post->setTags('tag1, tag2, tag3')->save();

addTags($tags) or addTag($tags)

Add one or more tags to existing set.

[php]
$post->addTags('new1, new2')->save();

removeTags($tags) or removeTag($tags)

Remove tags specified (if they do exist).

[php]
$post->removeTags('new1')->save();

removeAllTags()

Remove all tags from the model.

[php]
$post->removeAllTags()->save();

getTags()

Get array of model's tags.

[php]
$tags = $post->getTags();
foreach($tags as $tag){
  echo $tag;
}

hasTag($tags) или hasTags($tags)

Returns true if all tags specified are assigned to current model and false otherwise.

[php]
$post = Post::model()->findByPk(1);
if($post->hasTags("yii, php")){
    //…
}

getAllTags()

Get all possible tags for this model class.

[php]
$tags = Post::model()->getAllTags();
foreach($tags as $tag){
  echo $tag;
}

getAllTagsWithModelsCount()

Get all possible tags with models count for each for this model class.

[php]
$tags = Post::model()->getAllTagsWithModelsCount();
foreach($tags as $tag){
  echo $tag['name']." (".$tag['count'].")";
}

taggedWith($tags) или withTags($tags)

Limits AR query to records with all tags specified.

[php]
$posts = Post::model()->taggedWith('php, yii')->findAll();
$postCount = Post::model()->taggedWith('php, yii')->count();

resetAllTagsCache() and resetAllTagsWithModelsCountCache()

could be used to reset getAllTags() or getAllTagsWithModelsCount() cache.

Bonus features

You can print comma separated tags following way:

[php]
$post->addTags('new1, new2')->save();
echo $post->tags->toString();

Using multiple tag groups

You can use multiple tag groups for a single model. For example, we will create
OS and Category tag groups for Software model.

First we need to create DB tables. Two for each group:

[sql]
/* Tag table */
CREATE TABLE `Os` (
  `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `Os_name` (`name`)
);

/* Tag binding table */
CREATE TABLE `PostOs` (
  `post_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `osId` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`post_id`,`osId`)
);

/* Tag table */
CREATE TABLE `Category` (
  `id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT,
  `name` VARCHAR(255) NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`id`),
  UNIQUE KEY `Category_name` (`name`)
);

/* Tag binding table */
CREATE TABLE `PostCategory` (
  `post_id` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  `categoryId` INT(10) UNSIGNED NOT NULL,
  PRIMARY KEY  (`post_id`,`categoryId`)
);

Then we are attaching behaviors:

[php]
return array(
    'categories' => array(
        'class' => 'ext.yiiext.behaviors.model.taggable.ETaggableBehavior',
        'tagTable' => 'Category',
        'tagBindingTable' => 'PostCategory',
        'tagBindingTableTagId' => 'categoryId',
    ),
    'os' => array(
        'class' => 'ext.yiiext.behaviors.model.taggable.ETaggableBehavior',
        'tagTable' => 'Os',
        'tagBindingTable' => 'PostOs',
        'tagBindingTableTagId' => 'osId',
    ),
);

That's it. Now we can use it:

[php]
$soft = Software::model()->findByPk(1);
// fist attached taggable behavior is used by default
// so we can use short syntax instead of $soft->categories->addTag("Antivirus"):
$soft->addTag("Antivirus");
$soft->os->addTag("Windows");
$soft->save();

Using taggable with CAutoComplete

[php]
<?$this->widget('CAutoComplete', array(
	'name' => 'tags',
	'value' => $model->tags->toString(),
	'url'=>'/autocomplete/tags', //path to autocomplete URL
	'multiple'=>true,
	'mustMatch'=>false,
	'matchCase'=>false,
)) ?>

Saving tags will look like following:

[php]
function actionUpdate(){
	$model = Post::model()->findByPk($_GET['id']);

	if(isset($_POST['Post'])){
		$model->attributes=$_POST['Post'];
		$model->setTags($_POST['tags']);

		// if you have multiple tag fields:
		// $model->tags1->setTags($_POST['tags1']);
		// $model->tags1->setTags($_POST['tags2']);

		if($model->save()) $this->redirect(array('index'));
	}
	$this->render('update',array(
		'model'=>$model,
	));
}
