[info] Adding Tag option (J3+)
[info] Adding Tag option (J3+)
10 years 11 months ago
With Joomla 3 it's possible to define an option for Tags and maybe it's nice to use in the future.
There is a tutorial explaining how to use it but it can be a bit difficult to make it work so here goes the info.
Create entry in Database
- find table content_types and add the corresponding info
- copy/alter the info of article/category
BACKEND
Add code in table class
For example:
This is different then in the tutorial but it works.
Add field to the form
Add code to the model
function getitem()
function save()
FRONT
Add code to the model
function getItem()
Add code to the view

For example:
Code:
function __construct(&$db)
{
parent::__construct('#__jem_events', 'id', $db);
JTableObserverTags::createObserver($this, array('typeAlias' => 'com_jem.event'));
}
Add field to the form
Code:
<field name="tags" type="tag"
label="JTAG" description="JTAG_DESC"
class="inputbox span12 small" multiple="true"
>
</field>
Add code to the model
function getitem()
Code:
if (!empty($item->id)){
$item->tags = new JHelperTags;
$item->tags->getTagIds($item->id, 'com_jem.event');
}
function save()
Code:
if ((!empty($data['tags']) && $data['tags'][0] != ''))
{
$table->newTags = $data['tags'];
}
FRONT
Add code to the model
function getItem()
Code:
// Get the tags
$item->tags = new JHelperTags;
$item->tags->getItemTags('com_jem.event', $item->id);
Add code to the view
Code:
<?php $row->tagLayout = new JLayoutFile('joomla.content.tags');?>
<?php echo $row->tagLayout->render($row->tags->itemTags); ?>
