Hello, we just updated a bunch of the tags on our site and were wondering if it would be possible to batch tag a bunch of old topics that contain a certain keyword/url in the first post in a certain category through the console without updating the last edit time? e.g. – Add a soundcloud tag to all…

Something quick that I think will work. Might want to verify against a couple of records first before uncommenting the line to add the tag. tag = Tag.find_by(name: 'soundcloud') category = Category.find_by(name: 'music') Topic.where(category: category).each do |topic| if topic.first_post.raw =~ …

Thanks! That was exactly what I needed! I only needed to make a minor change and add if topic.tags.exclude?(tag) on the if statement to avoid duplicates. Here’s what I used for future reference: tag = Tag.find_by(name: 'TAG') category = Category.find_by(name: 'CAT_NAME') Topic.where(category: c…

I’m totally new to the rails console and I need to do something like this; tag all the posts in 8 categories with the title of each category and then once that has been done move all the posts in these 8 categories into an “Archived” category. Would something like this work for the tagging of the p…

Sorry I should have played with this more before asking for help, the following appears to work if you create the tag on a post first: category = Category.find_by(slug: 'testing') tag = Tag.find_by(name: 'testing') Topic.where(category: category).each do |topic| if topic.tags.exclude?(tag) t…

Now you can select which ones you want to change/append to, and then click the [image] button and you shoul…

To append a tag to every topic on a forum, first ensure the tag is used on at least one topic. Then run the following (replacing testing with the name of the tag) tag = Tag.find_by(name: 'testing') Topic.where(archetype: 'regular').find_each do |topic| if topic.tags.exclude?(tag) topic.tags << …

Hello all, I was trying to mass assign/append tags to topics based on category. I don’t really see a place to do this within the GUI that doesn’t take a long time. ( Select-all only works on what your screen has scrolled too. ) From the rails console I’ve been trying something like this ( old thre…

This code in post 5 should work for that - does it not work for you?
