With filters and the action “Assign tags” I can add tags. Is there a way to automatically remove tags from articles?

Usually, I like that articles come with tags. But 1 high volume feed tags all articles with “archive” which in this particular case is pointless because the feed is about music album releases. So I was wondering how to remove this tag.

e: typo fixed

not in stock. you should be able to write a plugin to do this. filter actions are extensible.

If anybody’s still interested I have this tiny tiny plugin that deletes all tags (I don’t care for any of them). It’s invoked by my last filter rule.

<?php
class Remove_All_Tags extends Plugin {
    private $host;

    function about() {
        return array(1.0,
            "Remove all tags",
            "vnab");
    }

    function init($host) {
        $this->host = $host;
        $host->add_hook($host::HOOK_ARTICLE_FILTER_ACTION, $this);
        $host->add_filter_action($this, "Remove all tags", "Remove all tags");
    }

    function hook_article_filter_action($article, $action) {
	        $article["tags"] = array();
        return $article;
    }

    function api_version() {
        return 2;
    }
}
?>

btw there’s a filter action to ignore tags, has been added for some time now.
