Using tagLister and getResourcesTag for a list of tags and list of categories on same page

I'm working on a blog that has a list of tags in the right column and a list of categories in the same column. Using tagLister and getResourcesTag for a list of tags works great. The filtered tag results are displayed on the target page as expected.

I created a second tagLister call on the same page identical to the first except I added a parameter &tagKey= `category` for the filter rather than the default of `tags` and I changed the id of the target page.

All entries are displayed in the results. They are not filtered by the category tv. I can display the values of the category tv in the results so I know they are available.

I have searched high and low for a resolution. I could use some help.

Here's what I'm using.

Revo 2.2.0-pl2

The tags are listed correctly in the sidebar with this:


The categories are listed correctly in the sidebar with this:


The filtered tag results are displayed with this on the target page:


The category results page displays all entries and the title outputs this. Results for Entries Tagged With "". To ensure there were values in the category tv, I add it to the tpl and they are displayed along with the title, date, content, etc. with each result.

Here's the call on the target page for categories.



The URL does show the selected category on the results page:


I'm using Auto-Tag on the TVs.
Rich Text is unchecked for the content field on the target pages.

Any suggestions

Anyone?

This is URL generated by tagLister that don't work or it is 'manual' link that works ?

If I understand your question correctly. It appears to me the URL is properly generated by taglister, but the search results on the page are not filtered.

I've switched my dictionary to english but grammar left native, sorry

I was asking about the link you have provided:

<a href="http://domain.com/index.php?id=34&category=success+stories&key=category%3C/pre%3E%3C/div%3E" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://domain.com/index.php?id=34&category=success+stories&key=category</a>

I'm asking about it because you've said:

The category results page displays all entries and the title outputs this. Results for Entries Tagged With "".

I understood this as parameters are not passed correctly in URL generated by tagLister. That's why I'm suspecting tagLister call as problem.
If this link is generated by tagLister (and it looks right indeed), then problem lies in GetResourcesTag's call and it may be missing &tagRequestParam=`category` parameter.

Fantastic! That works. Since I didn't have this parameter on the results page for tags, can I assume it's not needed since tag is the default?

Finally for the heading at the top of the page, I'm have:


While this works on the tag results page, it doesn't work on the category results page. Any ideas on this?

I've learned that MODx docs are obsolete quite often and you have to took into files to get current list of Properties (and they almost always have default values).

I don't know what getTagRequested is, maybe you can show the source of this ?

Well I've sorted this out.

GetTagRequested is a simple snippet


I just created another called GetCategoryRequested that looks like this.


Problem solved. Your comments sent me in the right direction.

Thank you.
