I was wondering how to go back to edit / set the overall story tags and synopsis, as opposed to the specific thread tags. I didn't set any tags when I first started a recent story and now I have a better idea what tags to use. Is this possible or not? And the Thanks!
I thought the story cover tags were comprised of the tags seen throughout the various threads of a story. That way readers can get an idea of the "weight" of each tag for a particular story. If a story is a whopping five threads long, and only one of those threads includes a heterosexual pairing, then you'd get a story with a heterosexual "weight" of one. At least, that's how I thought it worked.
So far, none of the tags I used on the threads are showing up in searches. I've read somewhere that it takes time for them to show up in the search, but I figure about a week is long enough right? Still not showing up. That's why I wanted to go ahead and add tags to the overall story and edit the synopsis to give more info. Thread tags apparently don't do anything at this moment. I would think that weighting as you described is the best way for them to be ranked. But can't see that in effect at the moment. I would also like to be able to see what threads have what tags in the story map... but that may be asking for too much.
I recall reading elsewhere on this forum that only tags that were early on in the alphabet were being represented on Chyoa's front page. Perhaps this is related? I know it's not a solution by far, but have you tried tags which are early on in the alphabet? I just tried searching for "exposition" and for results I got stories which include my expository threads. Actually, I'm not sure this is the case, as "reptile" got me one of my stories with such a thread as well. Hrm. But these threads are all quite old, so maybe this is a time-sensitive symptom.
I'm not sure what the problem is. But I assume that you're referring to your story Laboratory Fun whose threads have no tags associated with. Is it possible that you haven't saved the respective threads after entering the tags? See also http://chyoa.com/search/index/page/...&pov=&pov_gender=&language=&writer=Hypnoticus
Thanks for looking into this for me. Yes, I tried tagging some of those threads, multiple times/days even. I hit save after I tagged them but still they don't show up in the search results when I try to search just by the tags I used. Nor do the tags I used show up in the "Story Cover" page under the "Tags" section. I'm confused as to what I'm doing wrong.
Alright. What I know is that your tags don't end up in the database. Thus, there is a problem on the client side. When you enter tags, you must confirm each tag with the enter/return key. Did you also do that?
AH! Thanks ever so much! I just thought you could type them, separate by comma and then save. Now, is there a way the synopsis can be edited after the story has been created or is that pretty much stuck from day 1?
on the "manage stories"-page there is a edit link for each story on the right side. There you can edit all story details (Title, Subtitle, Synopsis, ...)
