Searching in Tagger with SimpleSearch

I want to setup a blog and use Tagger for tags. Tagger works great, but how do I get SimpleSearch to include the Tagger tags in searches? SimpleSearch seems to only search in standard fields and TVs. However, Tagger is not a standard field nor a TV.

Thanks in advance.

Hi clutchmarketing,

That is a little complicated. Tagger stores its data in custom tables like modx_tagger_groups, modx_tagger_tags en modx_tagger_tag_resources.
So you have to point SimpleSearch to search in these tables.

Like this example for searching the tables used by Quip

See documentation on https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/simplesearch/simplesearch.simplesearch

Hello Clutchmarketing, I am also struggeling with simplesearch to search in tags made with Tagger. Did you find a solution for searching in the tagger tables? Greetings, Roel

Yes It's would be great !
Tagger is one of my fav. MODX extra.
I see this feature request has been added here :

Like this example for searching the tables used by Quip

&customPackages=`QuipComment:body:quip:{core_path}components/quip/model/:QuipComment.resource = modResource.id`

See documentation on https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/simplesearch/simplesearch.simplesearch

Does it means it is possible to use directly an existing installed package (e.g. Quip or Tagger) ?

I'm trying this :

Tagger

className -> TaggerTagResource | taggergroup | taggergateway | tagger | taggertag

Tagger tables :
modx_tagger_groups
modx_tagger_tags
modx_tagger_tag_resources

Should we use TaggerTagResource class ?

Field → tag

packageName → tagger

packagePath → {core_path}components/tagger/model/

joinCriteria → tagger.resource = modResource.id (?)

Test 1
TaggerTagResource:tag:tagger:{core_path}components/tagger/model/:TaggerTagResource.resource = modResource.id

-> without success (I used the Tagger tag ID as search criteria in simpleSearch field) :-/

Anyway even with the Quip exemple it doesn't work : in MODX log I have :

(
[0] => 42S02
[1] => 1146
[2] => Table 'tableName.QuipComment' doesn't exist
)

Quip exemple error was resolved by reading this post (start classname with lowercase) :

Hello johnxx, did you get simplesarch working with tagger (with table prefix modx_)?
