I'm after a menu item extension that will allow me to select multiple tags in one menu item. Any ideas?

did you find it? something that would work and did not hack the k2 core files?

Not yet....

Hi,

I am currently using Dave Robinsons module to achieve this - it works perfectly for multiple tags, uses MVC templating so that you can add overrides, and style to suit your template...

community.getk2.org/forum/topics/content-module-filter-by-tag-1

It can also sub filter by Category too... Oh and no Core hacks required (its based on the K2 content module)

Regards

Mat

Yes, it finally works. I had it installed before, but for some reason was not showing up correctly. I just reinstalled it and it works like a charm.

Can you show me a sample of this working? Would like to see it in action.

Hi Pete,
not having that site online yet. But basically, you install last mentioned module from here: community.getk2.org/forum/topics/content-module-filter-by-tag-1 (it should be on third page). It is made for K2 2.4.1

Then you go to backend and enable it in Extension > Module manager - it should be named K2 Content.
Afterwords you configure it however you like, basically:
- type new name for it
- select 'Position' where to output it on page
- assign menu where it should show (could be just single menu item you just made exactly for it)
- in parameters select overriding folder if new sub-template desired (ex: your_htdocs/templates/your_template/html/mod_k2_content/your_sub_template) - copied form original template
- finally select some categories and some tags

That should do it, and of course you can create as many K2 modules as you like for different content (tags and categories) visible on different pages styled by different subtemplate, etc.

However, thinking about it, eventually I will have to set those tags within PHP to reflect combo boxes chosen by the user. If anybody already handled that (possibly with extra fields search combined...) can share with us.

Thanx
