Craft 4 support

[acalvino4]

Are there plans to keep this updated for Craft 4?

[alexjcollins]

@acalvino4 We'd certainly like to. We just need to determine the work involved so we can schedule accordingly.

I'll leave this open whilst we figure it out.

Craft core plans to remove Tags and Categories altogether eventually and give Entries UI capabilities that would enable them to be used and displayed as such. craftcms/cms#820

That being said, it doesn't seem like they've moved much forward to adding that in 4.0 since the only core change they've made is to add draft functionalities to categories.

Our website uses tags pretty heavily so I'll try to see what would need to be done to add the compatibility for Craft 4.0 and I'll make a pull request.

The earliest Tags and Categories could be removed as core concepts is Craft 5.0, as it would be a major breaking change. In the interim, I'd love to see this plugin upgraded for Craft 4 compatibility.

Just chiming in for all those +1s: I've been using my fork for a few weeks without any issue so far. So, for those who would need it right away while Ether reviews the pull request, you can pull my fork by changing your composer file like below. Don't forget the "repositories" part or it won't work.

{
  "require": {
    "ether/tags": "dev-master"
  },
  "repositories": [
    { "type": "git", "url": "https://github.com/davidwebca/craft-tags" }
  ]
}

Of course, this would be a temporary measure as I can't guarantee that my fork will stay up (I might delete my fork if and when the pull request gets approved). Make sure to update your file later if you do this!

Curiosity: does @brandonkelly or anyone in pixel&tonic, personally have any strong opinion on this topic?

Makes me honestly wonder: what would be the technical reason behind this "missing feature"?

can you review PR:. for craft 4

[brandonkelly]

Last week we announced that tags, categories, and global sets are going to be deprecated in Craft 4.4, and fully removed in Craft 5, in favor of entries (craftcms/cms#9781). And in 4.4 we will be adding a CLI tool that can be used to migrate existing tag groups, category groups, and global sets over to entries. We’ll also be making a couple improvements to Entries fields so they can replicate Categories and Tags fields’ UI (craftcms/cms#8522 + craftcms/cms#11379).

So in other words: this plugin won’t be needed anymore :)
