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.
