Hi,

I am setting up a series of Custom Fields and am wondering if there is a line of code that I can surround my Custom Field Value with so that it turns it into a K2 Tag instead of just text. The values are applied via Custom Field and not the actual K2 Tagging field when creating an article so i'm hoping there is a line of code that converts the text from plain text to an actual tag.

Hopefully the idea is straight forward and easy to understand.

Thank you kindly for your time!

Hi. Try to create an extra field of type "Searchable Labels".

Hi,

Thanks for your response, I am going to test it out further however my goal was to have the searchable text work more with the K2 tagging system instead of the Joomla Search mainly because I want to utilize the K2 Tagged item listing template based on the values applied in the extra field just so I can manage my presentation of the content listed within the tag. Again thanks for providing this detail, this is the first time i've used Extra Fields even though i've been using K2 for some time, this is one detail I was unaware about until now.

If you or anyone can shed some additional light on setting the Extra Field to an actual tag that would be great

Thanks

Chris

One other way would be to make an extra field of type link and then place there the URL leading to your tag page. There is no other way to accomplish what you want.
