I saw that the idea of hierarchical tags was discussed and even on the dev plan a few years back, then got shelved. Are there any plans to revisit that feature? Looking at building an index for my site, and would like to have hierarchical tags built into the system, rather than manually created by me in some funky way or another.
Just wondering. Thanks!
If you only need your tags two deep, I think thereās a hack to be done where you make a āparent tagā page (with a special #thisisatagscollection tag and assign all the āchild tagsā to it. Then on your āindexā, you grab all the tags for each page tagged with #thisisatagscollection.
Speed would need testing - itād be a {{get}} for each of the parent tags. Probably fine for a dozen parent categories. No bets on hundredsā¦
For now, Iām going to kludge it, I think: mark each post with the parent tag and the child tag, then build a page that shows everything under the parent tag, and separate pages for each child tag.
All of this is going on an Index page that is on the main menu, with toggles for each parent tag. A lot of work, but will make the site easier to use and provide more value to the subscribers.
