TvTagCloud Newbie

I’m using Modx 0.9.6.3 and I setup a blog. Now I want to be able to tag all my articles(with a template variable) and have that list of tags appear on the main blog page in the side navigation. Then viewers can click on those tags and get a list of articles associated with it. I’ve been able to get this functional with the TvTagCloud snippet but I need one more thing that has stumped me.

Within the individual article pages I want to list all the tags that are associated with that individual article and then allow the viewer to click them and once again get a full list of articles that have that tag.

Also, to less importance, On the TvTagCloud landing page I need a title for the Tagged articles that are listed. How would I accomplish that?


Keep in mind that I’m completely new to Modx. Just played with it for 3 days.
Any help will be much appreciated.

To tag individual articles, you can use the tagLinks snippet.

If you want to use the name of the selected tag as part of a title, you can use a simple snippet. TvTagCloud adds ’?tags=myTag’ the the end of the URL so you just need to get the value of the tags parameter.

For example I use one called getParameter:

Then call the getParameter snippet where you want the title to appear:

Cool, I’ll give that a try. Thanks for the quick reply!

<?php
$parameter = isset($parameter) ? $parameter : ''; //required
$element = isset($element) ? $element : 'p'; //optional
$style = isset($style) ? $style : 'tagResult'; //optional
$caption = isset($caption) ? $caption : ''; //optional
$value = $_GET[$parameter];

if ($value == ''){
return;
} else {
$output = '<'.$element.' class="'.$style.'">'.$caption.' '.$value.'</'.$element.'>';
return $output;
}
?>

Then call the getParameter snippet where you want the title to appear:

[[getParameter? &parameter=`tags` &element=`h3` &caption=`Results for: `]]
