Hello Nathan,
yes! Now it is perfect.
I hope I will learn fast!
Thanks for your quick answer!
Bye, Alfette

… and sorry, here I am again with one more question. I did not understand the right way to capitalize the displayed tags. In my stylesheet I created a class
<code>.capitalize{
text-transform: capitalize;
}</code>

In the article form I try to call the class:
<code>
<txp:tru_tags_if_has_tags>
<txp:tru_tags_from_article class=“capitalize” />
</txp:tru_tags_if_has_tags></code>

But it’s still not.
And: Is ist so, that with this capitalization the whole word is shown in big letters? Or is it possible to have just the first letter capitalized?

Thanks again. I hope I don’t trample too much on your nerves. I’m very new with textpattern… But with this great forum I will soon be a better webdesigner.

alfette –

Textpattern tags that take a “class” attribute generally apply that class to whatever element is specified by the “wraptag” attribute, so you probably want something like:

Just a small “best practices” note, though: it’s generally not a good idea to create CSS classes that are simply the name of the style you are trying to apply. Instead, you should create a class that represents the type of information being displayed (in this case, “tags”) and then style that class however you like (in this case, “capiltalize”). That way if you change the styling later (“bold” instead of “capitalize”) your class name is still meaningful and isn’t confusing.

I think that “text-transform: capitalize” just makes the first letter capitalized. “text-transform: uppercase” makes it be all-caps. Check out this page for details.

And no worries – you’re not trampling my nerves :)

Thanks, Nathan, for your support. Everything is fine now. And I know a little bit more!
A lot of greetings from Cologne, Alfette

Some RFE and conceptual thoughts about tru_tags future:

@Nathan, I have been reading through an old but very interesting thread regarding tag clouds at performancing.com. There are some pretty good conceptual ideas of how to develop the idea of the tag cloud further on.

Richard Harlos i.e. has the idea in this comment to color tags by age and to have a possibility to combine tags. That’s a very useful conceptual approach although I am criticizing it because of usability concerns.

But as the main concern is to give the readers a better possibility to dig in your archive it might be a good idea to think in advance before the archive or the amount of tags becomes too big.

And some more RFE from me:

I want a grouped index of tags – like the index in a book. Beside the ‘normal’ alphabetical grouping I think that grouping by categories or sections would make great indexes also.

When grouping alphabetically a listing of article titles or even excerpts at/below every tag might be (?) useful.

A tag list ordered by article date (!) and with a limit would also make sense to show only the tags from recent articles.

As I said above these thoughts are only conceptional and for discussion. Maybe others can throw in their comments to show up priorities.

Wonderful plugin, and good effort.

It works for me, in messy, but in clean url mode it gives me a 404 error. Like here:

http://www.olivernielsen.com/tag/lightroom

My .htaccess looks like this:
<code>#DirectoryIndex index.php index.html
#Options +FollowSymLinks
#RewriteBase /relative/web/path/
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d RewriteRule ^(.+) – [PT,L]
#This path should match the relative url of your Textpattern install
RewriteBase /
#If you’re using a section other than “tag”, change the following two rules accordingly
RewriteRule ^tag/([^/]+)$ tag/$1/ [R,L]
RewriteRule ^tag/(.+)/$ ?s=tag&t=$1 RewriteRule ^(.*) index.php
</IfModule></code>

Sounds like a .htaccess issue.

raveoli · 2006-09-20 16:06:29

Yeah, I just posted the .htaccess in above post, sorry I forgot it;-)

raveoli – I assume you’re using apache?

In your post above, there are two places where it says “< sup >” (without the spaces) – is that what it says in the actual .htaccess file? Those should be carat (^) signs.

If I turn on debugging in the admin, I get these errors, which I don’t really know what to do about…

<code>
tag_error <txp:tru_tags_from_article/> -> Notice: Undefined variable: tag_class on line 276
textpattern/lib/txplib_misc.php(512) : eval()’d code:66 tru_tags_render_cloud()

etc

Hey Truist, no it does not look like that. It’s the forum fucking it up. I tried putting the code in code-tags and == etc, but to no avail.

I can’t remember how to post code here, it’s been a while since I did it, so I’ve totally forgotten it

I get those same errors if I turn on debugging – thanks for catching that! But they’re not the source of your problem, given that my site is working.

I checked over your .htaccess code – it matches mine exactly.

What version of tru_tags, Textpattern, apache, and php are you using? A mismatch with one of those seems like the next-best thing to investigate.
