So I have a plugin which isn't blog related but I still want to add tags related to the ProBlog plugin for searching purposes between the 2 plugins results.

Is it possible to extend the tags into another plugin as another tab?

Maybe sharing is the best way of putting it.

sure. you just add a belongsToMany relationship just like you see in the proBlog Post model for tags, except create/use your own pivot table. (instead of pivoting on the problog_blog_post_tags table, pivot on [myplugin]_[app_model]_tags table).

link the plugin to me at somepoint if you marketplace it so that I can link to it.

Perfect :)

Thanks for all your help ChadStrat

Minor question will I need to duplicate the Livetag widget?

When using the type: livetag - the tags refresh perfectly as per a prolog post.

At the moment I will need to check how to update the tags if added to the prolog tags from myplugin, but also save them to the [myplugin]_[app_model]_tags table.

Fingers crossed it will be easy :)

Update: I have got it working by duplicating the 'formwidgets/livetag' widget and renaming it in my custom plugin. Works a treat and inserting into the relations database structure :)

Also I needed to change the following to the custom forms name. customplugin/formwidgets/livetag/partials/_livetag.htm

fieldName: 'FORMNAME[tags][]'
