I’m attempting to use both the radiant-multi-site extension and the  
radiant-tags extension. Individually they both work great but when used  
together the tags work across all sites.

I am developing two sites for a local charity. They want to be able to  
manage both from a single interface and Radiant with the multi-site  
extension seems perfect. However, they would like to be able to use tags  
on both sites too. But different sets of tags. At the moment a tag  
created on one site shows up in the tag list/cloud of both sites. They  
would like each site to have it’s own unique tags.

Am I making sense?

Do you have any suggestion as to how I might go about finding a  
solution? I’m a novice programmer, new to Ruby/Rails/Radiant, and don’t  
really know where to start. I would really value any advice or guidance  
on how best to try and approach this.

Thanks in advance.

The trouble is that the multi\_site extension doesn’t know about the  
meta\_tags table, so you’d have to find a way to scope the tags table  
by site\_id just like the multi\_site extension does for the users  
table, here:

Then you can add code to add/delete/use tags that are scoped to a  
site, much like you can add users scoped to a site.

Hope that helps.
