On our live site — https://calendar.uco.edu — an admin has created a new global tag called CECE for a group on campus. They’ve created and published a test event (visible here) with the CECE tag, but the tag is now visible in the tag selector on the home page or on the RSS feed builder. It’s been live for several hours now, so it would seem like it’d be showing up; I’ve tested in multiple browsers, cleared the cache and viewed it incognito, but no dice so far. Any idea what’s going on with this?
Just a thought… Is your calendar set to only display “starred” tags in the selector? If so, is your new tag starred?
Hi Brian,
Good question!
Starred global tags applied to at least 1 live event in the currently displaying group(s) should be enough to trigger that tag to show up in the selector, and the selector is only cached behind the scenes for 5min, so, something else must be going on here. We’ll see if we can reproduce the issue on one of our test servers to investigate a fix. Thanks for bringing this to our attention,
Karl
I believe we’re configured to display all assigned tags as well, and the new tag is indeed starred. But this hadn’t occurred to me, and it’s useful knowledge, I appreciate it.
Hey Karl, I think I figured this out: The test event with the new tag was only in the Public group, none of the others. When I shared it to one of the other groups, the event and the new tag showed up immediately.
So I think we’re configured to not show events that are only in the Public group, which extended to the tag also not being visible until the event was in one of the visible groups. I don’t know if that’s a bug or it’s working as intended, but either way, we seem to have an answer for now. Thanks!
