Is it possible to filter with getResourcesTag for multiple tags?

I have this working. However, when I set the tolinks snippet to use friendly URLs as follows:

[[!tolinks? &tagKey=`article_tags` &items=`[[+tv.article_tags]]` &outputDelim=` / ` &useTagsFurl=`1` &target=`5`]]

I get redirected to my default 404 page I designated in system settings. I have already tried using a custom tolinks template:

[[+item]]

Any pointers at what is causing this?

i could only get this working using the hack - putting the TV in the three places as above didn't seem to work, so i've gone with setting this &tagKey=`` in the call and yep it works

The only problem is, I can't figure out how to stop it from showing up in the URL. 'tags' is the default value of 'tagKey' property in toLinks - so that's where it is coming from. But there doesn't seem to be a way to tell toLinks to NOT send that bit of the query string. The closest I've been able to come up with is
[[!toLinks? &items=`[[+tv.edp_resourcetags]]` &tagKey=`` &target=`4347`]]
...which sends it with an empty value:
?tag=grumble&key=
This works - my results page is showing results. But it feels like a frustrating hack. I want to understand what my code isn't doing that it should be, or what that value is supposed to be doing, or... something. Can anyone shed a light on this?

You have to use the same TVs name in 3 places to make it working, example:

[[!toLinks? &items=`[[+tv.your-tag-name]]` &tagKey=`your-tag-name` &target=`123`]]

and:

[[!getResourcesTag? &tagKey=`your-tag-name` &elementClass=`modSnippet` &element=`getResources` &parents=`321` &limit=`0` &tpl=`myTpl` ...]]

and that's it!

Perhaps it was the process of pain and suffering that brought me to enlightenment... sigh... if you have clarifications for the docs, I'll be happy to add them. Reading them now, I'm once again confused.

I just followed the link FROM the tagLister docs TO this thread, and read Everett's initial post and went "yeah, that's it exactly. I've got it working, but I can't really understand why and feel really baffled by the docs!" So then I was a bit disheartened when I got to the *last* post, wherein Everett says he updated the docs trying to clarify.

I'm having trouble with the flow from toLinks to getResourcesTag.

I'm using toLinks in my "tagged" resources, to provide a link to a "tag search results" page, which uses getResourcesTag. So far so good.

My toLinks call looks like this:

[[!toLinks? &items=`[[+tv.my_tag_tv]]`  &target=`4347`]]

The result is a call to resource 4347 with the following query string:

?tag=grumble&key=tags

(where grumble is the tag value).

Resource 4347 has this getResourcesTag call in it:

[[!getResourcesTag? &parents=`4303` &tagKey=`my_tag_tv` &limit=`0` &tpl=`myTpl` ...

This whole setup works... IF you remove the "key=tags" from the query string.

I'm not sure what purpose that is supposed to be serving, but removing it makes the results page show the desired results.

The only problem is, I can't figure out how to stop it from showing up in the URL. 'tags' is the default value of 'tagKey' property in toLinks - so that's where it is coming from. But there doesn't seem to be a way to tell toLinks to NOT send that bit of the query string. The closest I've been able to come up with is

[[!toLinks? &items=`[[+tv.edp_resourcetags]]` &tagKey=`` &target=`4347`]]

...which sends it with an empty value:

?tag=grumble&key=

This works - my results page is showing results. But it feels like a frustrating hack. I want to understand what my code isn't doing that it should be, or what that value is supposed to be doing, or... something. Can anyone shed a light on this?

I updated the docs @ http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/tagLister trying to clarify this thing.

Thanks gameship! I just needed the exact same solution and the link you posted too worked a treat

@rrswans I don't know if you stumbled upon it yourself but you should take a look at this board posting. It's the solution you searched for. Just create this snippet proposed and use it where you want the name of the current tag to be displayed. It only depends on the parameter &tagKey named tags. If you have a different one you must change the code of the snippet.

I was looking for the same solution as you did and I found the above solution so I thought of letting you know.
