    Sooo, it took me longer than the announced hour because I detected some bugs and had to fix the bugs.

    This is not a step by step guide but I hope that it might help you to use the tags extension. I'll see that I also add a step by step guide soon.

    Here's the URL of the documentation: http://doc.aurealis.de/doku.php?id=typolight:tags_en

    Hey thanks for the documentation. By reading it i got confirmed with my procedure i followed to create tags and link it.
    The issue which i m facing now is , when i click on any article tag ,the redirection page does not show me the results. Instead it always gives me result "no articles for this tag". I have included "Global article list" as well as "Article list (Tags)" in the result page. Well, Thanks for all your kind help to provide me documentation,it helped me a lot in clearing my concepts related to tags

    Hi,

    hm, I assume that you maybe selected different datasources for the article tag cloud and the article list. I tested it on my demo page and it works there.
    I fixed a small bug a few minutes ago, but it had nothing to do with the display of the list.

    If you use Article List (Tags), there is a data source section where you have to select the root element of the page tree that should contain the relevant pages. Maybe you did miss to select that or made a wrong selection.

    Can you check this?

    These are the settings I used for my demo page:

    Tag Cloud (Right Column): Tag Cloud (Articles)
    - Jump to page: Same page as the tag cloud (contains also Article List (Tags))
    - Datasource settings: The root page of my english site page tree

    Article list (main column): Article List (Tags)
    - Datasource settings: The root page of my english site page tree



    Best,
    Helmut

    Hi

    Just wondering of there is any way to create <title>Tags - TAG SELECTED</title> so that we can have unique titles across these pages.

    Any help appreciated
    Thanks

    This is possible but you have to dive into the code. You need the global $objPage object and then you can set the page title. I've done something similar with the xtmembers extension. You have to do something like

    Code:
    global $objPage;
    $objPage->pageTitle = $objPage->pageTitle . " - " . htmlspecialchars($THE_SELECTED_TAGS);
    somewhere in the compile function. Maybe I'll add something like that as an additional feature in the future but now I can't due to 'some' time issues.

    Thanks to the lending hand of Helmut and Fred (fbliss) i managed to achieve what i needed, so for anyone else wishing to do the same;

    in /system/modules/tags edit the following files;
    ModuleEventlistTags.php
    ModuleGlobalArticlelist.php
    ModuleLastEventsTags.php
    ModuleNewsArchiveTags.php
    ModuleNewsListTags.php

    search for "$alltags"
    and add the following immediately after it

    Code:
    global $objPage;
    	  $objPage->title = $objPage->title . " - " . htmlspecialchars(join(', ', $alltags));
    Hopefully this will help someone and maybe helmut can add it to his code to make it part of the next update

    Thanks

    Nigel

    I had gotten my tag cloud up and running, but was having trouble making it link correctly to a list of tagged articles. I was able to figure it out with the help of this thread, just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to write up some English documentation for us.
