Public bug reported:

Mahara 1.7+

The process of creating and managing collection of pages is somewhat
complicated - and puts limits on real world requirements by the fact
that pages can only be added to one collection.

Could the collection system be extended to allow the creation of
collections based on one or more tags?

We can already add tags to pages so we are half way along this path. The
ability to create a collection tagged with "Professional Development
Activity" and "Professional Development and Review" and "2013" would be
very powerful - especially since any other pages I create and tag in
this way will "just appear" in that collection without any further
action.

The ability to re-order would be important, in fact the existing
collection workflow could remain largely unchanged - it's just that
there would be an alternative to individually adding pages called "Add
pages by tag". The user may have to come back to this screen to re-order
pages that are added over time.

Cheers.
Shane.
