tags 1.7.0 stable released

This module allows to create tags for Contao elements.

It provides a basic database structure to save the tags and it can be used to visualize existing tags.

The module contains the following extensions:

• A widget TagField for backend forms. You can add tags as a comma separated list into a text field. The tags are saved into a separate database table.
• A frontend module Tag Cloud to visualize the tags in a cloud like in the Contao extension repository. The Tag Cloud can optionally contain a top 10 list of tags and a list of related tags.
• A frontend module Global article list to show a list of all articles in a Contao installation. If the global article list is called from a tag cloud, only the articles with the given tag are listed
• A tag field for articles, news entries and calendar/events, and content elements
• An extended content element “heading” that can be shown only if tags are used.
• An insert tag {{tags_used}} that shows a list of used tags.
• Added: Save news archive URL parameters if a news archive is used on the same page as a tag cloud

Please note that for a proper integration the Mootools support must be activated in your Contao page layout.

Release notes

1.7.0

• Added: Clear tags option. When checked, an additional hyperlink is shown to clear all selected tags.
• Added: Module “Tag scope”. This module shows all selected tags on a page. It supports the following actions: a) Clear all selected tags. b) Select a specific tag c) Clear a specific tag.
• Modified: Example style sheets tags_orange.css and tags_oxygen.css have been modified to support the new features.

1.6.6

• Added: Additional database field for global articlelist. Without a given tag it is now possible to show an empty articlelist (default) or all existing articles.

1.6.5

• Added: Additional database field to add a CSS tag for tags that are assigned on the active page (only used in tags_articles and tags_content)
• Fixed: Problem with calextend-Extension which prevents the extension of the eventlist-Module by removing the eventlist module legends
• Fixed: Problem with old browsers/web servers and special characters (like german Umlauts) in tags. The resulting URLs are created now according to RFC 3986
• Fixed: TOP 10 tags URLs have been the same for all tags

1.6.4

• Added: Select wheather or not Contao specific URL parameters should be kept by tag clouds
• Fixed: News archive filtering was not working correctly

1.6.3

• Removed automatic manipulation of headlines when tags are used. Instead the used tags are available in the template variable ‘tags_activetags’ and the number of hits in the template variable ‘tags_total_found’. This behaviour is NOT compatible with previous versions of this extension. To get the same result you have to modify existing template like mod_newslist etc. on your own but it’s definitely the better and cleaner solution. I apologize for all inconveniences.
