Showing tags in actions log

Started 4 months ago by jamesarosen / 4 posts

  1. I have an entry like "coded #ruby #html for 2 hours" in my feed. That shows up in my activity log as "coded for 2 hours" with no information about the content.

  2. Yeah, tags don't appear in the actions log. If you clicked through to the page for 'coded', then #ruby and #html would appear as clickable filters on the right.

  3. Standard disclaimer: yfd is great! The tagging feature is great and has the potential to add a lot of richness to your own data.

    However - and this struck me when looking at the actions log and the data download - we aren't able to download the tag infomation. All the other data in the actions log is downloadable.

    This is a bit of a problem...especially if you are interested in subcategories. eg, for beer, you have two options: beer or brand as the tag.

    drank beer #bluemoon

    or drank bluemoon #beer

    I suppose one way around is to create a new beer action..but then it can't really be easily compared with other drink categories.

  4. I'll make tags download-able soon. Tagging is a relatively new feature, and I just haven't updated the download yet. Will let you know when it's there. Thanks!
