## Description

Integrates [OpenCalais](http://www.opencalais.com) tag suggestions in the WordPress
edit interface. Supports multiple and custom taxonomies. Maps between [OpenCalais entities and facts](http://www.opencalais.com/documentation/calais-web-service-api/api-metadata/entity-index-and-definitions)
and WordPress taxonomies, including custom taxonomies.

Suggested tags are shown in the editor interface in the same UI sections where tags
are typically added.

Use of this plugin requires an API key and is limited by the API license and terms
of service. Register for an API key at http://www.opencalais.com/user/register .

See installation section for custom configuration instructions.

#### Batch auto-tagging

The plugin also includes (not pretty) tools for automatically tagging previously
published content. Logged-in users with sufficient permissions can visit `wp-admin/
admin-ajax.php?action=go_opencalais_autotag` which will automatically start tagging
content.

#### In the WordPress.org plugin repo

Eventually at: https://wordpress.org/plugins/go-opencalais/

#### Fork me!

This plugin is on Github: https://github.com/GigaOM/go-opencalais

## Installation

 1. Place the plugin folder in your `wp-content/plugins/` directory and activate it.
 2. Follow the configuration instructions below to set the `api_key`

#### Configuration

In your theme or another plugin, add a filter on the `go_config` hook that returns
an array of taxonomies when the the 2nd paramter is `go-opencalais`

 * Config array format example:
 *     ```
       `php 
       ```
   
 * array( ‘api_key’ => ‘insert your api key here’, ‘post_types’ => array( ‘post’),‘
   confidence_threshold’ => 0, // Number of characters to allow for stuggested tags‘
   max_tag_length’ => 100, // The number of allowed ignored tags per post ‘max_ignored_tags’
   => 30, ‘mapping’ => array( // In the format of ‘OpenCalais entity name’ => ‘WordPress
   taxonomy’, ‘socialTag’ => ‘post_tag’, ), ‘autotagger’ => array( // Term to indicate
   when a post has been autotagged already ‘term’ => ‘autotagged’, // The relevance
   threshold at which to not add a tag ‘threshold’ => 0.29, // Number of posts to
   auto tag per batch ‘num’ => 5, ), ); `

That configuration is where the `api_key` is specified, as well as mapping between
OpenCalais entities and WordPress taxonomies, valid post types on which to suggest
terms, etc.
