Tags invisible

Permalink 3 users found helpful
Hello C5 Community,

I'm working on a project with Concrete5 5.5.2.

At the moment somehow I cannot make the tags visible.

What I have done so far is:

I. Added Page Attribute (Handle: tags, Name: Tags, Page Header, Content included in sitewide page search index, Field available in Dashboard Page Search)

II. "tags" folder from concrete/blocks/tags copied to blocks/tags

III. I modified the "view.css" to make the tags visible (changed text color to black)

IV. On Home Page I have added a Tags Block with the settings "Display Tags for the current page"

Only the Tags tile in H4 is visible.

Firefox Firebug turns only this piece of code:

<div class="ccm-tags-display">
<h4>Tags</h4>
<div style="clear: both"></div>
</div>


Please note: At the moment I'm using the default theme from Concrete5 called "Plain Yogurt".

I'm running into the same issue with tags. Did you ever figure it out?
--Edit---
I got it to work by adding the text attribute as Select, rather than Text

Well - there's not really a snippet, but more of a how-to...

Go to Dashboard/Pages & Themes/Attributes
and add a new attribute, choosing "Select" from the dropdown menu

Then use
Handle: tags
Name: Tags (or whatever you want)

Searchable options both selected

Multiple Values: selected

User submissions: selected

-----
Next
Go to the page you want to tag
Select Properties/Custom Attributes
then find Tags(or whatever you named it) in the list on the left and click it
This will add it to the available attributes for that page
You can add some tags now, or add them later in the block

------
Then
Add the Tag block to that page
I chose "Display Tags for the current page"
You have the option to add more tags now
Under the advanced tab you can choose a page where the links show
If you choose nothing, then the tags will show, but won't be links.

I set up a new page, with just a search block in the content area and chose that page as the place to show the links. You have to add the search block, or nothing will show up on that page when a tag is clicked.

Hope that helps!

Thank You so much for this answer!!

If anyone else is having issues with your Tag Cloud: Make sure its set to "Select" type instead of "text" type. This makes ALL the difference.

Thanks again.
