There's a new taxonomies extra which might be useful for this:

I'm looking to do the same on this page;

http://www.djcdesign.co.uk/tag-results.htm?tag=tearsheet

Add to the title of the page, the 'tag' that is displaying.

This is my call

[[!getResourcesTag? &parents=`2` &tagKey=`documentTags` &includeTVs=`1` &limit=`16` &tpl=`result_tpl`]]

But I can't get the above little snippet to work - where do I add my &tagKey ?

Sorry probably being a bit slow !

You could create a very simple snippet that would simply output the tag value when the key/value pair for tags is present in the query string.

Vary basic snippet (ex snippet name: dyntagtitle):

//-- Get all request string key/value pairs
$s = $_REQUEST;
 
 
 
if($s['key'] == 'tags'){
  return $s['tag'];
} else {
 return false;
}

Then on the page template simply put the snippet call where you want it to be displayed:

[[!dyntagtitle]]

cheers

okay added that in and am still getting nothing. Again, I am new to this. Where can I go to check that the key placeholder is set?

Sorry, I was wrong about the format for the $_GET arguments.

Try this:

If you need more than one, do it like this:

First, though I would try to check whether the "key" placeholder is set at all.

Hi BobRay, thanks for helping out, but that didn't work. It is possible that I have put the code in wrong. I am new to modx. here is my code. Any help is greatly appreciated as you are the only one who has responded to any of my posts

Here is my template chunk that I am using though out my blog



[[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]]
[[+blogThumb:phpthumbof=`w=132px`]]

    [[+pagetitle]]

this is the template file that controls the resource that taglister points to:

[[$head]]


           	[[*backgroundImage]]
	
		[[$newMenu]]
	
	
	  [[getResourceField? &id=`[[UltimateParent]]` &field=`pagetitle` ]]
	[[$blogMainMenu]]




        
	
	  This is where I want the title to go



                
                    [[*content]]
        
	
	
	  [[$r.footer]]

this is the resource content area of the page that taglister points to

[[!getResourcesTag? &parents=`71,72,73` $tagKey=`tag` &tagRequestParam=`tag`]]

[[!getResourcesTag? &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &tpl=`blogPost` &parents=`71,72,73` &limit=`36` &includeContent=`0` &includeTVs=`32` &processTVs=`32` &tvPrefix=`` &showHidden=`0` &hideContainers=`1` &cache=`0` &pageVarKey=`page` ]]

 

[[!showCategory]] 

[[!+page.nav:notempty=`

[[!+page.nav]]
`]]

and this is an example of the url I am current getting when clicking on the tags

http://newer.pointbdev.com/tag-and-archive-page/?tag=things&key=tags

again I want the tag clicked (in this case "things") to be dynamically inserted onto the resource page. So that when a user clicks on a tag and sees a list of all posts that have that tag, they also see a heading that shows them which tag was clicked. hope that makes sense.

I've never actually used TagLister, so there may be an easier way, but (and this is a wild guess) maybe you could put the category as a parameter in the URL by adding a placeholder for it in the link in your Tpl chunk.Something like this:

Then on the target page, a simple snippet could pull that term for you:

[[!ShowCategory]]

I saw that page BobRay and maybe I'm missing something but here is what I'm trying to do:

I have my blog fully functional with taglister and to links directing links to a target resource. Lets say the user clicks on a tag called "dogs". The query works properly and the user is takes to the target resource with all the blog entries that have a tag of "dogs" However, I want it to say "dogs" at the top of the page as a heading. This is pretty standard in wordpress and I can't find anything on it here. There must be a way to do this. Do you have any ideas?
