How to get tag name in tag itemlist? was created by Roman Lipatov

Hi!

I need to modificate meta titles and descriptions on tags pages.
http://mysites/news/tags/tag1

But I want to make it only using templates overrides.

How I can get tag name (variable) in template file /components/com_k2/templates/default/tag.php

Thanks.

Hi,
You can create a K2 tag menu item and add the Meta Description and Keywords at the menu metadata options.

Yes, but I still need get tag name (variable) in template, because I need to add descritption for this tag page.

My idea is to make tags pages same as categories pages.
Users should not see the difference between these pages.

The URL pattern you see here, was created from a menu item.
Create a blank K2 categories menu item (leave the category selection empty) and call it eg: show or content, this will create the URL pattern you see there.

You can fetch the tag name with php. Try this code snippet at your tag.php template

$tag = JRequest::getString('tag');
echo $tag;

You must again use PHP and query the database table macb_k2_tags in order to get the data you want.

Yes, I tried, but it does not work...

$id = JRequest::getString('id');
echo $id;

This will not work, you need an SQL query in order to retrieve further data.
