Limit Category View by TAG was created by Mark Buckingham
Hi folks - new to this community. Have searched for this topic and do not believe there is a solution posted yet.

I have a site I am developing markbits.com.au/eclipse_dev/

It is K2/RocketTheme/Gantry

I have a set of products divided into three main types
  1. AUTOMOTIVE
  2. TRADE WASTE
  3. ENERGY SOLUTIONS

There are a lot of sub-categories, call nested under a generic category called PRODUCTS

There are around 40 items they sell/support and some of them may be used in all or any of 1, 2 and 3 above. Therefore we have TAGGED each item as well. So there is a relationship between the category and tag.

I want to create a menu item to show items in a category, but limit them results by tag.
  • If I select a CATEGORY menu, I cannot limit by TAG
  • If I select a TAG menu, I can limit by TAG and select CATEGORY, but I cannot select columns, retrieve number or other items I have in CATEGORY.


I think I am just confused.

If someone has a solution (and yes, I will pay for module or expert), please let me know.

Mark

Hi. The only way to limit by tags and category is to either make a menu link to tag or use the K2 tools tag cloud module with category restriction. In both case however you will get the tag listing layout and not the category layout. If you need to display a gird there you will have to implement it on your own. All available options for tag listings can be found under K2 parameters.
