Installable with the Extension Manager

Description

For the corresponding application, see Tag Application.

Configuration

XWiki 15.0+, 14.10.4+

It is possible to configure the algorithm used when checking view rights on tags, by editing xwiki.properties.

#-# [Since 14.4.8, 14.10.4, 15.0RC1]
#-# Configure the tag selection algorithm to use.
#-# The default algorithm is "exhaustive", which check all elements (documents and tags) for view right before returning
#-# them. This exhaustive check can lead to tag clouds and tag lists being slow to compute on instances with very large 
#-# amounts of tags or tagged documents (more than 5000 of elements).   
#-# Note that it is advised to keep using the default implementation as much as possible, and to switch to the "unsafe"
#-# option only when all performance improvements options have been exhausted 
#-# (see https://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Documentation/AdminGuide/Performances/)
#-# The "unsafe" algorithm does not perform any right checks. It is approximately 10 times faster than "exhaustive"
#-# but does not provide any guarantee that the current user won't be able to view a tag he/she is not allowed to. 
#-# Therefore, we cannot recommend to use it unless tags performance is critical AND tags and document references are 
#-# not considered as critical information.
