Tip: Force users to add tags!

Wed, 21 Mar 2012 05:20:45 +0000

I could not find this option in the admin panel (and no plugin for that), so I used jquery to not let the user send his question if there are NO tags.

use this jquery code:

// user must give at least 2 tags
if ($("#tags").length > 0){
   var regForm = $(".qa-form-tall-table").parent();
   regForm.submit(function(e) {
       var tagsN = 0;
       // count nr of tags
       var matches = $("#tags").val().match(/\b/g);
       if(matches) { tagsN = matches.length*0.5; }
       if(tagsN<2) {
           e.preventDefault();
           $("#tags").focus();
           $("#tags").css("background-color","#FFFFAA");
           alert("Please give 2 tags related to your question!");
           return false;
       }
       return true;
   });
}
