1 This files describes API changes in tagging, information provided
2 here is intended especially for developers.
6 * The following functions have been finally deprecated and can not be used anymore:
8 * tag_description_set()
10 * tag_get_tags_array()
15 * tag_delete_instance()
19 * tag_record_tagged_with()
23 * tag_print_description_box()
24 * tag_print_management_box()
25 * tag_print_search_box()
26 * tag_print_search_results()
27 * tag_print_tagged_users_table()
28 * tag_print_user_box()
29 * tag_print_user_list()
32 * tag_get_related_tags_csv()
37 * tag_get_related_tags()
39 * tag_delete_instances()
41 * tag_bulk_delete_instances()
42 * tag_compute_correlations()
43 * tag_process_computed_correlation()
47 * tag_get_correlated()
52 * Each plugin must define the tag areas it uses in plugindir/db/tag.php
53 See https://moodledev.io/docs/apis/subsystems/tag/ for more details.
54 * When adding a 'tags' form element the component and itemtype must be specified
55 in the element attributes.
56 * Tag name is no longer a unique field in 'tag' table, tags may be separated in
58 * Specifying component is also required when retrieving item tags. This will allow
59 different components to add tags to the same table (for example blog and forum
60 posts) and even suggest alternative tagging for the same items.
61 * All tag_* functions were deprecated because they now require either tag
62 collection id or component, some were moved to the new class core_tag_tag and
63 some - to the renderers or templates. As usual, the deprecated function code
64 and debugging message will provide you with the suggestions of the alternative.
65 Please note that all deprecated functions will be removed after several major releases.
