5156	Ability to easily add tags to posts using a list of existing tags...	andrewflanagan	anonymous	"I love the new built-in tagging in 2.3. One of the things that I thought would be helpful is to have a list of tags displayed for you so that you can just click on them and add them to the list rather than always having to type them. I make typos and I'm sure others do. At the same time, I have at least a SOMEWHAT limited number of tags (under 100) so this functionality seems useful.

Here's what I did to make this work on my site with Wordpress 2.3.

In the file wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php, insert the following: (between line 161 and 162)

==== begin code ====
        <script type=""text/javascript"">
        function setTag(text)
        {
                var curvalue = document.getElementById('tags-input').value;
 
                if (curvalue == """")
                {
                        document.getElementById('tags-input').value = text;
                }
                else
                {
                        document.getElementById('tags-input').value = curvalue + "", "" + text;
                }
        }
        </script>
        <?php
        $output = ""<legend>"";
        $tags = (array) get_terms('post_tag', $args);
        foreach ($tags as $tag)
        {
                $output .= ""<a href=\""#\"" onClick=\""setTag('"".$tag->name.""')\"">"".$tag->name.""</a>,"";
        }
        $output = substr($output, 0, strlen($output) - 1);
        $output .= ""</legend>"";
        echo $output;
        ?>
==== end code ====

I'm sure that this is sloppy but it works... I now get a list of tags that I can click and automatically add to the tag list (and it inserts commas as you'd expect).  Anyway -- maybe this can be an option somewhere since obviously it might be a bit much if you had a huge amount of tags."	enhancement	closed	normal		Optimization	2.3	normal	wontfix	tags, javascript, add, ease of use
