Some thoughts and questions about organising posts.
For a long time I was creating websites where on my dynamic content I used the model, one category -> many children
for example,
category: news category 1
post: My latest story 1
post: My latest story 2
category: news category 2
post: My latest story 3
post: My latest story 4
and so on. Then I decided to use a more flexible way to organise my content, by using a tagging system, where a post can be assignet to multiple tags. I tried to find the best way to implement this functionality and this is where I am so far:
I created three database tables like this
posts
post_id
title
text
post_tags
tag_id
title
post_to_tags
tag_id
post_id
Well now I need some help. My lack of knowledge in MySQl is a problem because I want to make certain tasks and as I understand I must create complex JOIN queries and I don_t have the expertise to do this. If there is someone able to help me it would be a greate help to undrestand and making my idea work.
Actions:
1. Select all posts where a tag id = $this->uri->segment(3)
2. Select all posts where the tag_id is the same with the post I am viewing (the tags might be more than one)
Any ideas will be helpfull.
Thanks in advance
