Hi there,

Is it possible to use the tags to display ‘or’ statements, i.e. display results for tags that equal ‘red’ or ‘blue’ ?  Or results for tags that equal ‘red’ and ‘blue’ ?

If so, do I just need to add a certain operator to the URL, or within the code itself?

If not, will tag 2.0 allow this?

Thanks,

Ste

Tag 2.0 allows for something like this, yes. The {exp:tag:entries} tag expects tags to be passed via the URL, multiple tags separated by comma. By default, a single matching tag will suffice to bring up an entry ("OR"). If you use the “inclusive” parameter, like so:

... only entries that contain all of the tags will be shown ("AND"). I hope that answers your question.

Thanks Ingmar...bring on Tag 2.0 then, I can’t wait!

Hi Ingmar,

Now that I’m using Tag 2.0 and I’ve just been reminded that I can use the inclusive parameter (I forgot about this thread!), I’ve just tried using it.

Unfortunately, I get the following error message when trying to access http://www.mywebsite.com/tags/blue,red

Disallowed Key Characters

Any ideas why this would be?

For info, here’s my tag code:

What is your default Character Set set to?

CP Home › Admin › System Preferences › General Configuration

It’s currently utf-8.

What should I change it to, or is this okay?

Thanks,

I wonder about that comma in the tags. It may be that EE 1.6.1 is prohibiting incoming urls that contain commas. PieMan, can you test that out?

Works fine in both EE 1.6.1 and 1.6.0 Mitchell

I’m using version 1.6.1 (4th December build...will upgrade soon) and the MSM - this site is one of my ‘child sites.’

Any tips for anything else to try?

For info, I’m also using a comma to separate my tags.

Thanks,

Ste

sm9,

None of this rings any bells with me. But I do still suspect the comma in the url.
