fixed the code layout. sorry (preview would be nice at the forum)

    find_all_across_pages(:params => { :since => time.to_s(:db).gsub(/[^\d]/, '') })

  def company
    Company.find(company_id) if company_id
  end    
  def name
    "#{first_name} #{last_name}".strip
  end
  def tag(tag_name)
    self.post(:tags, :name => tag_name) unless tag_name.blank?
    true
  end
  def tags
    @connection ||= ActiveResource::Connection.new(HIGHRISE_URL, ActiveResource::Formats[:html])
    html = @connection.get("/people/#{self.id}")
    require 'hpricot'
    #require 'open-uri'
    # html = open("#{HIGHRISE_URL}/people/#{self.id}") # this has SSL problems
    @doc ||= Hpricot(html)
    tags = Array.new
    @doc.search("#show_tags a").each{ |a|
      tags << Highrise::Tag.new(a['href'].gsub(/.*\//, ''), a.inner_html)
      }
    tags
  end
  def untag(tag_name)
    to_delete = self.tags.find{|t| t.name==tag_name} unless tag_name.blank?
    self.delete("tags/#{to_delete.id}") unless to_delete.nil?

Topic: Tags API

Hi,

just an example how i hacked the tagging stuff that we needed into the highrise.rb wrapper. Because a GET to
URL/people/123/tags gives the list of all tasks and not of that person, i take the html response of /people/123 and parse the tags by hand. The GET could also improved because of SSL issues I used a html format activeresource. Sure, there are better ways.

(Just a feature request for API extension: Please support the possibility to add an array of tags in the future.)

class Person < Subject
  include Pagination
end

def self.find_all_across_pages_since(time)
  find_all_across_pages(:params => { :since => time.to_s(:db).gsub(/[^\d]/, '') })
end

def company
  Company.find(company_id) if company_id
end

def name
  "#{first_name} #{last_name}".strip
end

1. extension to make tagging work, it’s not supported via API yet def tag(tag_name) self.post(:tags, :name => tag_name) unless tag_name.blank? true end

def tags
  @connection ||= ActiveResource::Connection.new(HIGHRISE_URL, ActiveResource::Formats[:html])
  html = @connection.get("/people/#{self.id}")
  require 'hpricot'
  #require 'open-uri'
  # html = open("#{HIGHRISE_URL}/people/#{self.id}") # this has SSL problems
  @doc ||= Hpricot(html)
  tags = Array.new
  @doc.search("#show_tags a").each{ |a|
    tags << Highrise::Tag.new(a['href'].gsub(/.*\//, ''), a.inner_html)
    }
  tags
end

def untag(tag_name)
  to_delete = self.tags.find{|t| t.name==tag_name} unless tag_name.blank?
  self.delete("tags/#{to_delete.id}") unless to_delete.nil?
end

class Tag
  attr_accessor :id, :name
  def initialize(id=nil, name=nil)
    self.id = id
    self.name = name
  end
end

I would also need an API implementation for tagging contacts. Work around is ok, but some real API-functions would be nice.

Topic: Tags API

For those using Ruby, check out my blog post on how I added the tagging functionality to people. Thanks to the above tips, I discovered it’s relatively trivial.

Topic: Tags API

David and Crew

We are working on integrating highrise with our websites as part of the conversion process (contacts would be automatically added with a case and task etc)

Obviously adding tags would greatly help with managing contacts that are added.

Is there any sign of a ‘tag api’ or even somthing undocumented we could use to add tags to contacts?

Cheers Guys

Topic: Tags API

I agree. It’s the only thing holding back my company moving our 3,000 contacts into HR.

Topic: Tags API

I would like to stress the importance of this functionality one last time: it is critical for anyone moving from another contact management application to Highrise. If its not in HR itself it should at least be working in the API.

Any update on Mass Tagging

Topic: Tags API

My contact management system <g> shows that I have mailed four (4) release notifications to you. Let’s try and figure out if I have the wrong address or your email system is trashing them.

Cheers

Topic: Tags API

Richard, can you please send me a beta invita as well to staub at ticketleap.com? I requested by email but have not heard back. Thanks so much.

Topic: Tags API

I agree, this is pretty much a necessity. Mobivity hit the nail on the head, kind of pointless adding contacts through here if you can’t mark them as “leads” or whatever.

Topic: Tags API

My apologies: you did make it in, but I did not tag you correctly. Download information is on its way via email.

Cheers

Topic: Tags API

Richard, can you send a beta invite to jchrysler (at) gmail.com ? I believe I made a request via, email, but I never heard back from you. Thanks in advance.

Topic: Tags API

I’d love to see more tag related API functionality.

• Ability to add new people with one or more tags associated. If for not other reason and the help us keep track of which system added the person.
• Ability to add or remove tags from a person. We have a couple of systems we’d like to sync with Highrise and this would be valuable to update the status of the contact as the status changes in the external systems. eg. addTagToPerson(“current”), removeTagFromPerson(“lead”)

just some thoughts that if implemented would allow me to upgrade from the trial account..

Topic: Tags API

and then delete the tag like this:
curl -u xxx:xxx -X DELETE http://xxx.highrisehq.com/parties/xxx/tags/id_of_tag

Topic: Tags API

Any chance the tag API could include a count of the number of objects with that tag (to aid in generating a tag cloud). The alternative would be to get the list of tags, then run a query on each one & count the results, but that would suck up a lot of bandwidth etc. with each refresh.

Topic: Tags API

The post by OD works for setting a contact’s tag. This is a great start. I would love to know how to remove a tag too. And in an ideal world, I would like to be able to set a date for when the tag was added as that can be great information for reporting.

Topic: Tags API

I’d also like an update on this. Still eagerly waiting for a solution :)

Topic: Tags API

Anything new on importing tags?

Topic: Tags API

Or even more simple:

curl -u xxx:xxx -d ‘name=name_of_tag’ http://xxx.highrisehq.com/parties/xxx/tags

Topic: Tags API

This works for me:

curl -u woodhull:X -d “name=name_of_tag” -H ‘X-Requested-With: XMLHttpRequest’ -H ‘Content-Type: application/x-www-form-urlencoded; charset=UTF-8’ http://sample.highrisehq.com/parties/946496/tags

Where X is your password, name_of_tag is the tag and the url includes your contact id and highrise site.

Topic: Tags API

This a an absolute need for my organization. We are currently using another CRM provider which has an inferior UI. Highrise is absolutely perfect from a UI standpoint.

We have over 6,000 contacts that will need to be imported into the system, and they all are currently categorized. Being able to assign tags – either through the CSV import or thorugh the API – is an absolute necessity.

Thanks!

Topic: Tags API

I agree. We desperately need tags to be able to be pre-defined upon import/creation of new contact records.

I’m looking forward to seeing this addition soon! =)

Thanks 37 team.

Topic: Tags API

This is a real shame. Without being able to add tags with the create, it is pointless. We need to tag them as new so new contacts can be acted on. Otherwise they just get lost in the stream never to be seen again.

Hope we get this soon.

Topic: Tags API

I’d like to put in a vote for this being added to the API ;) It’d be extremely useful for importing contacts.
