Re: Tags: Advantage? For what? How to use? 2 Months, 1 Week ago

Nothing. I expected also to see something on frontend. But nothing.
For this you would need an additional 'Cloud' (module) feature in ACSSEF.

I got it to work as part of an URL. For example:
1. Create an ACETAG called: MYACETAG
2. Call it via: your_site/MYACETAG

When it works this link will show you a list of all articles aligned to the 'Tag'.

In this way it works for me. Not really comfortable and I can not see a great help for me in the moment. But who knows...

Re: Tags: Advantage? For what? How to use? 2 Months, 1 Week ago

Thanks that helps a bit. I can now see a list of articles.

BUT . . . **none** of these are the articles that I have enabled tags on; and most of them are duplicated several times.

They are the list of articles that shows under the Items column in the Tags Manager - but trying to turn off the duplicates there doesn't work - each block of duplicates publishes or unpublishes together.

AND . . . what is the 'Show Tags : before text /after text' option for in the Configuration |Tags tab?

I'm now differently confused

Here you've a screenshot (scroll down) on how it will be showed inside articles: www.joomace.net/blog/introducing-acesef-15 Kay-Uwe, I'm going to write a flexible module right now where you'll be able to show tags cloud. Bob, that page is displayed after you click on the tag. Could you plz open a ticket including a super admin account so I could check this issue myself?

Hi Denis, Thank you - I was expecting to see something like that. I'll open the ticket in a few minutes. Bob PS I left a note on the last ticket saying I was happy to chat about the Packt book. I'll leave my email in the new ticket.

Hi Denis,

Thank you for fixing the issue about the display of tags in an article.

That left me with some more issues about which article are displayed on the Tags listing page. As I said earlier:

I don't see the aticles that I have specifically tagged

I do see many articles that I have not specifically tagged

There are many duplicates in the articles list

I have now solved a part of 1 here:

For an article/sef_url to show in the tag page listing:

Tagging must be enabled in the Metadata
The tag name must be in the MetaKeywords in one of these formats: 'tag,' ', tag', ', tag,'
The Metadata Title must not be empty
The Metadata must be published

The MetaKeyword part has a bug: it will not find a lone keyword if there are no commas before or after. Here is a fix for this in models/tags.php around line 123

Code:

$tag4 = $this->_db->Quote($this->_db->getEscaped($tag, true), false);

$where[] = "(m.keywords LIKE {$tag1} OR m.keywords LIKE {$tag2} OR m.keywords LIKE {$tag3} OR m.keywords LIKE {$tag4})";

For 2 I found that Tags are enabled on many SEF URLs that I did not set so I guess that there is some automatic process here that I haven't tracked down.

A fix for this is to limit the Tag list to Custom SEF URLs. I have done this by adding

Code:

$where[] = "u.params LIKE '%custom=1%'";

at around line 97 in the models/tags.php file This effectively blocks all the auto-enabled SEF URLs. It would be good to see this as a configuration option.

For issue 3 the duplication can be fixed by adding a GROUP BY statement around line 81 of models/tags.php

Code:

$this->_query = "SELECT m.id, m.url_sef, m.title, m.description, m.keywords, u.url_real FROM #__acesef_metadata AS m, #__acesef_urls AS u {$where} GROUP BY m.`id` ORDER BY m.title ";

Re: Tags: Advantage? For what? How to use? 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago

Hi Denis,

Another small issue about the display of the Tags listing title. The tag I was using was 'branding' with lower case b, I wanted the page title to be the Tag title which is 'Branding'.

Fix is to add this function to models/tags.php

Code:

	function getTitle() {

		$tag = AcesefUtility::cleanText(trim(JRequest::getString('tag', null)));

		$query = "

			SELECT `title` 

				FROM `#__acesef_tags` 

				WHERE `title` LIKE '$tag'

			";

		return AceDatabase::loadResult($query);

	}

and to alter line 35 of views/tags/view.html.php to

Code:

$params->set('page_title', $this->get('Title'));

This forces the page title back to the titel set in the Tag configuration.

Re: Tags: Advantage? For what? How to use? 1 Month, 3 Weeks ago

Hi Denis,

Last one for the moment.

In the listing the JavaScript toggle to show the item description is shown even if there isn't an item description. The fix to hide this is to add && $row->description in line 99 of views/tags/default.php

Code:

AcesefConfig->tags_show_item_desc == 1 && $row->description ) { ?>

You can see the result of these changes at www.psychotactics.com/branding where I now have a list of the specifically tagged Custom SEF URLs.

Bob

On this listing I've also moved the JavaScript toggle into a separate column and tweaked the CSS to display it.

Hi Denis, I'm still struggling to understand the tagging system. What is the function of the acesef_tags_map table entries? It seems as if an article entered there displays the 'tags list' in the page body but does not show in the 'Tag list' page for that tag. Bob
