This extensions comes with a couple of Insert-Tags that can be used to link to a page which will only show entries with matching tags.
Insert-Tag | Description |
---|---|
{{tag_link::1::foo}} | Creates a link URL to the page with ID 1 and the tag foo |
{{tag_link::1::foo::bar}} | Creates a link URL to the page with ID 1 and the tags foo and bar |
{{tag_link::1::foo|absolute}} | Creates an absolute link URL to the page with ID 1 and the tag foo |
{{tag_link::1::foo|get}} | Creates an link URL to the page with ID 1 and the tag foo using GET parameters |
{{tag_link::1::foo|absolute|get}} | Creates an absolute link URL to the page with ID 1 and the tag foo using GET parameters |
A more robust way for the links would be to use the tag's ID instead of its name (which can be changed under System › Tags
).
So instead of {{tag_link::1::foo}}
you could also write {{tag_link::1::69}}
(assuming the ID of foo
is 69).
If you want to use the tags for fields in your own Data Containers you can do so by defining the field as follows:
$GLOBALS['TL_DCA']['tl_my_extension']['fields']['my_tags'] = [
'exclude' => true
, 'inputType' => 'select'
, 'foreignKey' => 'tl_tags.tag'
, 'options_callback' => ['numero2_tags.listener.data_container.tags', 'getTagOptions']
, 'save_callback' => [['numero2_tags.listener.data_container.tags', 'saveTags']]
, 'eval' => ['multiple'=>true, 'size'=>8, 'tl_class'=>'clr long tags', 'chosen'=>true]
, 'sql' => "blob NULL"
, 'relation' => ['type'=>'hasMany', 'load'=>'eager']
];
foreignKey
, options_callback
and save_callback
are mandatory.
In the eval
section we add a class called tags
- this is also needed for the JavaScript handling. There are some more options which can be defined in eval
.
Option | Description |
---|---|
groupTagsByField |
If set to true the user will only be able to select from a list of tags that have been already used on this specific field in the current table. If set to false or not set at all, the user will be able to choose from all tags available. |
