576012 - [k] Allow tag creation

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[Erik Rose [:erik][:erikrose]]

UI idea for fast implementation: when an appropriately authorized user attempts to tag an item with a nonexistent tag, the tag is implicitly created. If JS is available, the Add button changes to New (or something) to hint at the outcome so accidental creation of new tags is reduced.

How do we do deletion?

Landed in http://github.com/jsocol/kitsune/commit/5b93abf8efaa2973f144c418da4da7639ec77216.

(From the commit message...) When someone with the taggit.add_tag permission submits a nonexistent tag through the Add form, create and apply the tag. The undimming behavior of the Add button reflects this.

The button-renaming behavior didn't work out: it makes things jump around distractingly. If our privileged users end up creating a lot of tags by mistake, we can try adding a New button (which doesn't activate on pressing Return) after the Add button. Or we can just make deleting tags easier.
