Just take the display of the tags out of your theme/template files. Find the pages that display tags, then remove the code that displays it.
As far as not allowing people to add tags, I think you could just do the same thing: eliminate the form fields that are displayed where people can enter their tags.
I know that, but’s it’s not that easy because i don’t know where the base functions are , has anyone done this before, for instance remove tags from the topic page?
If you want to prevent any tags from being displayed or for any reference to tags being displayed, I think it is as simple as just modifying your theme to not show any of the tag stuff. Is there something I’m missing?
All the core tag functions would still be there, but no one would ever see them or use them.
I found 40 places in the kakumei template where the word “tag” or “Tag” is mentioned. Why couldn’t you just edit those out to prevent anyone ever seeing anything related to a tag? It’s a lot of work, maybe, but it’s not hard or complicated work.
Someone please fill me in if I am missing something.
You should try doing it, which I have, it’s no as easy as you propose, you are missing something.
Please let us know how you resolve it.
Oh wait – I did try it out 3 weeks ago. Take a look here and see what I missed:
