Using the Tags component? was created by paco
Hello.
I have tried your component, bot the user side as the admin site. but I have a big doubt.
My client has a webside in Spanish and English. And has created 50 tags in spanish and 50 tags in english.
She has selected and added diferent tags to her articules.
Now my question is the following.
Is is possible to USE your component with the tags selected for each articule so it shows up at the bottom of each article AND that it shows in a module which she calls "tag - cloud"
Or using your component must she add the new tags to each article again?

Not sure if i explained myselfe correctly..
Hoping to hear from you.
regards,
Paco

That's exactly how Custom Properties works. Tags assigned to articles are displayed under the article itself and are used to put together the tag cloud as well.

I think so.

Dear Andrea_4g.
First of many thanks for your quick reply... but to make sure I understood you correctly, please see the image attached. I appologies for my ignorance...

From the image you can see that my client has added already specific tags to all the articles. Now, to avoid to have to re-do all the work. Tagging each article again both in spanish and english:
1. will your component pick up THESE tags and place them in the footer?
2. Will the component show, depending the article which is shown, show the module with THESE tags?

I ask you this because I saw another tagcloud module which does basicly does the same.
See here
Hoping to have understood you this time :-)
Awaiting your reply again.
Good weekend,
Paco

Custom Properties tags are separated from Joomla native tags / other keyword-based tagging systems.

If you migrate to Custom Properties you'll have to:
- create your set of tags (field => [value, value, value], ... fieldn => [value, value, value])
- assign tags to articles

Custom Properties will:
- displaye assigned tags under the article
- make one or more tag clouds from assigned tags
- display articles tagged with one or more tags into a module
- create menu items from tags
- use Falang to translate tags (to avoid having two sets of tags (EN, ES) to maintain)
edit:
- and create an advanced-search engine that makes use of your tags as search criteria
