What (summary)

Create a tool where a user can input a word or phrase (for example, a domain name) and the corresponding AboutUs WikiPage is automatically tagged with an inputted set of categories, as well as a badge (via a template probably). This will make it painlessly easy for visitors to AboutUs (and portal builders) to add WikiPages to portals or other aggregated pages like PortlandTech or LASIK.

The code for the button would need to be editable to specify which template to add so that the user doesn't have to input these things AND we have flexibility for different intersected sets (all we need is a new template), allowing this 'Add This Here' to work as a universal tool for a variety of Content and Community projects, as well as being something the external portal builders can use for creating their own aggregated content areas.

Example

The button would appear next to the various listings on a page, like the 'Software' heading on PortlandTech/Companies, prompting the user to enter a domain to add. On click the corresponding WikiPage would have a template added to it that includes categories PortlandTech, Company, Software and the PortlandTech badge. Once these tags are added to the page it should automatically load in the intersect set on the example page. (Might require Purgepage to purge the server's cache so that users aren't adding their URL a bunch of times because it isn't showing up immediately on the intersected list.)

Why this is important

Critical to UI of PortlandTech. Is also a large part of the "One-click Portal" (making it easy for anyone to create and edit their own portals).

DoneDone

When I can enter a page and see it added to the intersected list (via categories added to the page). What to do about bots hitting the add category special page?

Steps to get to DoneDone

• change heading to light green
• change body color to light blue
• apply styling to reply messages, that it, congratulations or sorry messages.
• request to add to portal etc gets posted even if the title is all blanks, remove this bug!
• display a "Loading..." message when we are waiting for request to return
• let the user add multiple pages in one go
• work on look and feel
