Guten Tag, Johannes!

Yesterday afternoon I got a pingback from Johannes Jarolim announcing the release of version 3 of his “Jerome’s keywords manager” plugin for WordPress. This morning I downloaded and installed it.
Johannes added a couple of nice features to the plugin. The one I find most useful is the new “Show posts without any keywords” link. I thought I had entered tags for all of my posts, but this new feature showed me that I managed to skip adding tags to one of my more content-rich posts (at least, I think it’s rich).
The last time I blogged about this plugin, Johannes commented, “Thanks for your nice review for that puny plugin”. It’s not how much you do, Johannes, it’s how much you do well. This plugin does a few simple things to make the life of a tagger much easier. If you’re using the Jerome’s keywords plugin for tagging, you really should get this plugin to help you manage your tags.
Johannes says that he’ll soon release “jeromes-keywords-manager – the final destination”, which he implies will include a solution to the too-inclusive tag search results from jeromes-keywords. I’ve been meaning to look into this problem myself, but haven’t gotten around to it yet.

Guten Tag Sterling
Just in case you’re interested: i think i solved the LIKE problem and released the final version:
http://johannes.jarolim.com/blog/2006/07/05/jeromes-keyword-manager-final-destination/
greets from Salzburg,
Johannes
P.S.: That german greeting was a very nice gesture – Haven’t seen many english “natives” doing that
Ah sorry – I forgot that it was you who downloaded it first and reported the php error – i’m such a forgetful brat!
Shameful,
Johannes
Looks good, Johannes! I went ahead and downloaded your version just to be sure I stay on the same page with you.
“Guten Tag” was meant as both a greeting and a play on words, since “tag” is the fashionable term for “keyword” these days.
[...] I mentioned this problem to Johannes Jarolim, author of the Jerome’s Keywords Manager plugin. Johannes came up with the correct WHERE sub-clause (value LIKE ‘keyword,%’ OR value LIKE ‘%,keyword’ OR value LIKE ‘%,keyword,%’ OR value = ‘keyword’) and implemented that in his plugin. But alas, that did not help my widget, which relies on the ?tag=keyword link operation provided by Jerome. [...]
Oh, and BTW Johannes, I’m not technically native — I was born in Germany (US Air Force brat).
“Tag für Tag – Ein gutes Gefühl”
Hah, finally after hours i managed to find another play *g*
Good that you have use for the enhanced SQL-LIKE.
Have a nice tag,
Johannes
Ein nettes witzeln mit Alliteration
Thanks, Johannes!
[...] Guess what! He tackled the same problem I did regarding the “too general tag search”. Only instead of using multiple LIKE clauses as suggested by Johannes, Christian uses a REGEXP clause. It would be interesting to benchmark the difference. I’ll leave my version the same for now, and let Jerome decide which one gets into the official version. UPDATE: check out the comments below, where Johannes shares some benchmarks he performed on the two versions — MySQL likes LIKE. [...]
