Tagging User Generated Content tagging-user-generated-content
Overview overview
Tagging of user generated content (UGC) is the means by which community members can help other members search for content.
Typically, tags are applied by authors and administrators in the author environment. Tagging UGC is unique in that UGC tags are applied by community members in the publish envronment.
The tag namespaces and taxonomies are the same for both applications.
Communities Features communities-features
The AEM Communities features which can be configured to allow tagging are:
Administering Tags administering-tags
See Administering Tags for creating and managing tag namespaces and taxonomies.
See Tag Essentials for developer information.
See Using Social Tag Cloud for adding a Social Tag Cloud component to a page to facilitate searching for posted UGC using the tags applied.
Tag Permissions tag-permissions
The default permissions are set to not allow tag namespaces to be read by everyone in the publish environment.
Because tags are applied to UGC in the publish environment, read permission needs to be enabled for community members in order for them to be able to select tags to apply.
The following is how it appears in CRXDE when an administrator applies read permissions to /etc/tag/discussions for the group Community Engage Members.
