Tag Module Now Available for EE 2

Yesterday, Solspace released a new version of their popular Tag module. The new Tag 3.0 has several changes (including a few new variables) but the most important is that they added support for Solspace Bridge, which means Tag will now run on your EE 2 websites.

This is just one more step towards all of the add-ons you need being available for EE 2. There aren’t many major ones left, so the momentum towards EE 2 replacing EE 1.6 is picking up steam.

Here’s the full changelog for Tag 3.0:

  • Added a simple search ability to the Manage Tags area of the Tag control panel.
  • Added a “cloud-like” clickable list of Tags to the UI (for EE 1.6.x) to easily add existing common Tags to an entry.
  • Added {count} and {total_results} variables to the Tag:Tags tag.
  • Added {subscribe_link} and {unsubscribe_link} variables to the Tag:Subscribed tag.
  • Changed wording for removing of tags from “Bad” status.
  • Upgraded module to use Solspace Bridge 1.0 with CodeIgniter, therefore allowing compatibility with EE 2.x.
  • Fixed a bug where Bad Tags were still being shown in the Tag:Tags tag.
  • Fixed a bug where the Tag_Name tag was ignoring the websafe_separator=”” parameter completely.
  • Fixed a bug where the inclusive=“yes” with multiple tags in tag=”” was sometimes treated as OR instead of AND in Tag:Entries.

Upgrades are a mere $6.95. Learn more: Solspace: Tag 3.0.0

The Solspace add-ons which may be less well-known, but which are in my opinion invaluable, are the performance-suite products (Static Page Caching, Template Morsels, and Preparse) and Super Search. I’m really curious to know where these are in the development pipeline.
