I've seen these words a lot around subversion (and I guess general repository) discussions. Myself I have been using svn for my projects the last few years, but I've never grasped the complete concept of these directories. What do they mean? ...
I've heard of a few ways to implement tagging; using a mapping table between TagID and ItemID (makes sense to me, but does it scale?), adding a fixed number of possible TagID columns to ItemID (seems like a bad idea), Keeping tags in a text column that's comma separated (sounds crazy but could work). I've even heard someone recommend a s...
Tag-based web sites often suffer from the delicacy of language such as synonyms, homonyms, etc. For programmers looking for information, say on SO, concrete examples are: Subversion or SVN (or svn, with case-sensitive tags) .NET or Mono [Will add more] The problem is that we do want to preserve our delicacy of language and make the m...
So I've got a hobby site I'm working on. I've got items that are tagged and I want to associate those items with photos from Flickr. Even with restrictive searches I might get results numbering in the thousands. Requirements: I want to display between 10-20 pictures but I want to randomize the photos each time. I don't want to hit F...
Things like $log$ and $version$ which add data upon check-in to the file. I'm interested in seeing the other ones and what information they can provide, but I can't get much info unless I know what they are called. Thanks. ...
I am trying to write a regular expression to strip all HTML with the exception of links (the <a href and </a> tags respectively. It does not have to be 100% secure (I am not worried about injection attacks or anything as I am parsing content that has already been approved and published into a SWF movie). The original "strip tags" regula...
I am interested in choosing a good structure for an online message board-type application. I will use SO as an example, as I think it's an example that we are all familiar with, but my question is more general; it is about how to achieve the right balance between organization and flexibility in online message boards. The questions page...
How would you design a database to support the following tagging features: items can have a large number of tags searches for all items that are tagged with a given set of tags must be quick (the items must have ALL tags, so it's an AND-search, not an OR-search) creating/writing items may be slower to enable quick lookup/reading Idea...
We have the standard Subversion trunk/branches/tags layout. We have several branches for medium- and long-term projects, but none so far for a release. This is approaching fast. Should we: Mix release branches and project branches together? Create a releases folder? If so, is there a better name than releases? Create a projects folder...
I see them all the time and always ignore them. Can someone explain to me why they have become so prevalent? If I'm using a site that allows me to explore it via tags (e.g., this one, del.icio.us, etc.) that's what I will do. Why would I need a "cloud" of tags upon which to click? I can just type that tag(s) into a search box. What a...
Has anybody come up with a better technique for managing tags and branches in subversion than what is generally recommended (the parallel directories called 'tags' and 'branches')? ...
I would like to extract a reduced collection of "meaningful" tags (10 max) out of an english text of any size. http://tagcrowd.com/ is quite interesting but the algorithm seems very basic (just word counting) Is there any other existing algorithm to do this? ...
I've done some research on using tags from social bookmarking sites for web search, but I'd like to learn more about other ways in which users might use tags for information retrieval. Do you use the tags on sites like Stack Overflow for navigation? Do you think of them like filters (narrowing down a large list of questions), or as c...
I am planning to extend the basic html input tag provided by Spring to incorporate more features into it. I did similar kind of exercise in past for Struts too. At that point of time I had to create a tld file with the attributes that I introduced plus all the attributes available in the parent tag. This is bit tiresome and repetitive s...
What tools allows me keep track of tags when doing web development? For example, I would like to be able to quickly find whether I missed closing a div tag. At the moment I am using notepad++ to write html. It highlights starting and ending tags, but it can take me time to review almost all tags to find where I went wrong. ...
This is a real issue that applies on tagging items in general (and yes, this applies to StackOverflow too, and no, it is not a question about StackOverflow). The whole tagging issue helps cluster similar items, whatever items they may be (jokes, blog posts, so questions etc). However, there (usually but not strictly) is a hierarchy of t...
How to tag images in the image itself in a web page? I know Taggify, but... is there other options? Orkut also does it to tag people faces... How is it done? Anyone knows any public framework that is able to do it? See a sample bellow from Taggify: ...
I am seeking a WinForm control that would provide an autocomplete behavior for multiple space-separated - exactly ala del.icio.us (or stackoverflow.com for that matter). Does anyone knows how to do that within a .NET 2.0 WinForm application? ...
I want to be able to generate slickedit tags on the commmand line, as soon as I sync a project from revision control - so via a script. Any way to do this? ...
What's the best way to store tags for a record? Just use a varchar field? What about when selecting rows that contains tag x? Use the like operator? thanks! ...
