Support/Comments for tagLinks

I followed the instructions from the wiki, but I’m still having trouble. I’ve turned on friendly alias paths. If I have a category called website, it seems to me that I want the url to be mysite.net/categories/website. tagLinks is producing the url mysite.net/categories?tags=website.

I looked into the php code and changed



to



and the links now work ... but it seems like I’m probably doing something wrong. Help?

Hello,
I use this fabulous ditto 2.0.3 for event organisation, also kalender_enhanced for comfortable access to the event description.
The problem is that kalender links point to the single event page.
Thus the fantastic line with the tags that came with the ditto call (which tags point to a landing page with other events with that tag) is lost.
I thought taglinks could help me out here. But I managed to succeed only up to the point the tags are displayed correctly (separated) but I miss a way to point to the landing page (see ditto, there are no category pages for tags - http://ditto.modxcms.com/screencast/tagging.html - ). The links provided by taglinks are of this kind in my installation: "…/&tags=mytag".

is there any good idea?

edit:
An adaquate solution seems to be "TvTagCloud" (in a version of our french friends "2.1.1b" for utf-8, thanx for sharing) it supports the landing page of ditto - great, respect.

After doing Astronut’s changes I can see the categories/tags finally instead of "Array". However when I click any tag from the <ul> it redirect me to my home page with a URL like this:


any ideas what could i messed up?

Have you specified a &path parameter? This tells the snippet where to link to.

Muchos gracias ncrossland,
I dont use FAP so I thought the &path is not necessary, but it is

thanks!

I am wondering the same thing. Nobody else mentioned it, so myself and mglerner must be doing something wrong. Any ideas?

I think I may have found a bug when using the &path as a number.

My returned URL has // preceding the path page.

I made the following change to remove the offending slash:


To


Also could you replace:

To

To do away with the need for the $fap?

Sorry if I’m being a PITA. I stumbled on this snippet and didn’t realise how much I needed it.

Thanks Scotty.

I noticed this too. I’ve amended the script, and uploaded to the repository - it fixes the two bugs you mention (albeit in a different way) and makes sure it respects ModX config settings for XHTML URLs.

Thanks ncrossland. Time for me to update mine to match.

I’m not very modxified myself.

did anyone made it to work with generating &element=`option` ?
