Trouble with tags

Hi guys,

I followed this tutorial for tagging content:
http://vimeo.com/929777?hd=1

Thought all was okay, but now I realise it’s not working correctly... more importantly I think I may have misunderstood what it was actually offering, so I’m trying to get it to do something it does’t do!

Basically I like the fact that I can click a link, and then it goes to a page showing news items with all items with that tag. I got that part working fine.

The part I can’t get to work is for it to list the right tags within the document... as I want the tags listed within the news item itself. But the call I had (below) was not showing tags for the current document.

[!Ditto? &parents=`2` &total=`20` &summarize=`1` &tpl=`tags-news` &removeChunk=`Comments` &extenders=`summary` &tagData=`news-tags` &tagDelimiter=`, ` &tagDocumentID=`14`!]

Can anyone help me.. I’m feeling really dumb on this one.

Thanks

I create a template for the blog/news item called "Permalink" and put this Ditto call in it:

[[Ditto? id=`wp` &documents=`[*id*]` &dateFormat=`%A, %B %d %Y  at %l:%M %p` &dateSource=`pub_date` &tpl=`blog_post_tpl` &tagData=`tags` &tagDelimiter=`,` &tagDisplayDelimiter=`, ` &tagDocumentID=`34`]]

... where blog_post_tpl (note tagLinks placeholder):

<h3>[+longtitle+]</h3>
<p><span class="post-date">Posted on [+date+] with tags [+tagLinks+]</span></p>
<p><strong>[+introtext+]</strong></p> 
 [+image:isnot=``:then=`<p class="image"><a href="[+url+]"><img src="[+image+]" /></a></p>`+]
 [+content+]
 <p>{{AddThis_button}}</p>

...and tag landing page is 34.

Mostly harmless.

Thanks hotdiggity. I have just this minute fixed mine! I needed to add &documents with the current ID - that’s what I was missing, and have fixed it.

Thanks again for the fast response, it is appreciated.

Glad to hear. If you’re using Reflect to display WordPress style archives and tags, you’ll probably need to look at this thread eventually, too.

Mostly harmless.
