How can I extend the Tag settings to add a new form field?

SiCo · March 2021

Hi, is there any way to extend the tag editing hook "settingsController_tags_create" in "DashboardHooks" in file "dashboard/settings/class.hooks.php"?

I am trying to add an additional form field to allow setting a description on a tag. I just can't work out how to hook into this particular hook as it were.

I have copied code from the hero image plugin but I can't adapt it to hook into the tagging. Otherwise, it looks like I might have to create my own tagging view?

Thanks

Simon

Yes, creating a plugin with your own tagging settings view is probably the easiest way to go about this.

Tagging used to be a plugin, so it is hardly extensible as it stands.

Thank you, that would explain it, I did wonder why it was different to some of the other settings.
