Indexhibit Support

Hi,
I can't get the tag plugin to work. I activated it and created a section called tags and if i change Section Object to "tags" it keeps switching back to "exhibit".

Is this somehow disabled? It seems to work in the Demo.

Also i would like to thank you very much for the new version. It's really great, especially the visual index.

Regards lomp

Sorry that's confusing, but that's not how it works.

In your Post Nav space insert this plugin...

1. <plugin:taglist:load />

This is a space we will definitely be improving and we do need feedback from people.

Hi thank you. that worked. So I don't need a section called Tags?

I thought if i click on a tag I would get a collection of all projects with this tag, but I get all the pictures with this tag. Projects can't have tags, right?

I am just trying to "get it" ;)

You need a section from which your tag pages are published from - so yes. Be sure you check your tags in preferences that they are publishing via a section. If you Update their settings it will refresh the publishing.

Projects don't have tags right now - it's just images.

To be honest, we had it working both ways in the past but we could figure out how to display both images and pages in a tags collection. If you have any ideas let me know - I can turn the feature back on once we have a plan.

You are right it would be confusing to show projects and images with tags. One way would be to seperate them. First showing Projects, then images. Or there could be a Selection at the end of the tag list, like "projects/images". But the easiest way could be to have a administrative option to decide if a tag links to a image or its project. If a projects has tags then you would need a tag selector in the edit area also... difficult.

and thank you for your quick answer.

No, the way tagging worked for exhibits was that it had a link/image - click it and you get a tag selector - so it wasn't ugly.

We also had tag groups but that really turned out to be a pain. I also went so far as to have colored tags for a time and even the space for using icons for every tag if a person wanted to put in that kind of time.

Nutty things...I did alot of exploring with them...

I guess I have to use Section titles as "categories" instead of the tags for now. But I'm looking forward to have tags for projects. thanks!

You could put that plugin onto the Tags page...

Just wanted to share that one way to achieve what I wanted is to tag only one picture in a project. So that if you select a tag it looks like you get a collection of projects with this tag.

Is there a way to change the visual index of this tag result page?

I'd second that question - can't seem to figure out where I can customize the tag display ...

I just swapped the whole format.tag_display.php with a different exhibit format, but there was no change at all - is this how it's supposed to be?

Why would you do that? Tag_display is made for showing tag pages - a standard exhibit format will not work (or note very well).

I was completely oblivious to the tag preferences link in the admin tab for tags … oops. All is good now!

;)

Is it possible to style the tag page item (images) like on the visual index? I would like to crop the images to a square. here is the page i am working on: raumkontor.com/website/

Yes, the rules are in the CSS files (styles and or base).

Is there a way to customize the display of the tag page? I find it a bit counterintuitive to click on an image and then be taken to another gallery to click on the same image again to get it to display.

Ideally, I'd love to get a tag page to display in the horizontal image format...

Customization. In time, I know that people will come up with new ideas and execute new formats just for tags, but we're still early in this game.

I don't think it would be so hard to take a horizontal format and convert it...

Is it just a matter of crossing format.horizontal.php with format.tag_display.php? Or is the call to get the images associated with tags different than normal calls for images?

Both.

Great. Well, I'll get started then.

Thanks!

Look at format.tag_display.php for some helpful info, too.

Wait... What does format.tag_display.php actually do? I can't get any changes I add to reflect on the display of the tag page. Not even deleting it altogether... I'm guessing I'm missing something here. Thoughts?

And, for that matter, any help on isolating the call to the tag images would be helpful...

I'm not getting anywhere on this. How does the tag display format work? As I mentioned, deleting the plugin doesn't change the display of the tag page at all... So where is it getting the code from? And does tag.php have anything to do with that?

Also, format.tag_display.php seems to basically be the same code as format.visual_index.php with a couple of minor changes... So how is the call to get the tagged images different? Is it based on the url?

Wait, wait, some progress was made on this... See the thread here:
