tru_tags: A tagging plugin for textpattern

merz1 · 2012-01-31 14:39:00

Ross, you can link to any tag from everywhere.
And the tag search result page will show the article list for the specific tag.
And you can define the listform aka individual output on the landing page via tru_tags_if_tag_search tag="name_it" conditions.
(But) The section will always be ‘tag’ section.
(Optional) Playing around with tru_tags_tag_parameter + txp:variable can/will give you enhanced flexibility on the landing page or inside forms.

Hi Markus. Thanks, but the issue is the fact it currently needs to be the Tag section (with which makes the specific tag a variable).

Essentially, I need article_custom functionality with tru_tags, which I can call from any page or article, and output a list.

Ross, I recommend to open a new thread and to specify your needs in detail.
What is different (in your needs) to the article_custom attribute keywords:

keywords=“keyword(s)” Restrict to articles with specified keyword(s). Default: unset.

Does TXP recognise tru_tag tags as keywords?

I can’t tell, never used it, thus you’re closer to an answer than I am: Simply have a look at your keywords field.

Yep. That’s one of the strengths (and weaknesses) of tru_tags – the tags are just in the Keywords field, formatted as Textpattern expects them to be.

P.S. – I haven’t tried it, but I’ll bet you can pass the ‘keywords’ attribute through tru_tags_handler and use it basically like article_custom, as well. I don’t have time to try it for myself (or probably even to help you debug), at the moment, but I thought I’d throw the idea out there.

Absolutely the other way around: tru_tags uses the keywords field :)

[OT: (Don’t flagellate yourself too much for offering such a bad plug-in)]

TXP offers a dataset including the keywords field.
The elegance of the plug-in/add-on tru_tags is that it adds features & functions without adding (exclusive) fields to the dataset. This way all tags using the keywords fields can still be used in parallel.

Thanks guys, that works a treat – using article_custom with tags is a huge bonus :¬) Awesome!

Thanks for you perseverance Markus.

HI.

I have a trouble with this plugin. It as worked well in all my project but in the last it not work fine.
There is a number limit of a tag?
I use a tag into a movie database to store movie cast.
So when someone choose a movie and need view other movie with one actor can click on his name and by tag I show all movies found.
You can view my project at
videoteca.kreatore.it and you can look up the taggin system not work usually well.

Someone can help me?

AFAIK there is no ‘number limit’ regarding the number of tags in the database (!).
The Textpattern keywords field in the database has a limited length. AFAI remember the field may contain 256 signs by default. You can choose a bigger size.

Is the tag you are searching for saved? Check the keyword field of the article in question.

Ok, thanks. I’ve solved.

It’s a trouble about double space into tag
