Is it possible to replace the standard tag field on BlogEntry with the auto-complete TagField?

bump.

This has to be a common requirement. Are there any resources on this?

Hi Will,

This is not recommended, but you can replace in BlogEntry the line 81 with:

if(class_exists('TagField')) {
	$tagfield = new TagField("Tags", _t("BlogEntry.TS", "Tags (comma sep.)"), null, "BlogEntry");
	$tagfield->setSeparator(', ');
	$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", $tagfield, "Content");
} else {
	$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Main", new TextField("Tags", _t("BlogEntry.TS", "Tags (comma sep.)")),"Content");
}

Hope it helps,
Juan

So this works ?

Can I put this code in mysite ? I don't want to edit the blog code, its a problem when you upgrade.

@buddhaSource - no not in mysite - in the BlogEntry class instead of the regular field.

I'm not getting good results with it though. seems pretty buggy
