For the {weblog_entries} value returned by the {exp:tag:tags} query, is there a way to make the count only reflect open entries that carry the tag?

Does the “status” parameter not affect the results?

Doesn’t seem to be. Looks like it counts closed entries either way, and looking at the mod.tag.php function it doesn’t look the SQL query for the tags is qualified based on status.

I just want to make sure I understand you correctly… what is it you’re exactly trying to do?
Are you trying to hide the Tag:Tags loop if the entry is closed.... or something?

Basically, at the bottom of my blog entry/article template, I want to list the tags that the entry carries and how many other entries are tagged with it. I’ve been using a {exp:tag:tags} query for it, and spitting out the {weblog_entries} value in it for the number of entries that carry that tag. Problem is that the count that {weblog_entries} gives seems to be open and closed articles, and status=open doesn’t seem to affect it.

Hmmm… I’m sure you’re well aware though, that the Tag:Tags function is merely to list the Tags that are applied to that entry in question. Presumably, entry status would never be in question.

I will however, add this to the Feature Requests

Is there a better way for me to do what I’m after? Listing the tags associated with an entry and the number of (open) entries in the system with those tags?

I don’t believe so. Tag:Cloud would be your best bet, but it obviously just shows ALL Tags, instead of for that entry.

I’m going to see if we can fold this into the upcoming version release of Tag

I definately like the idea

Just to make sure we’re clear, you’re trying to do something like this?

Yep, that’s it. Thanks for your help.

Kenneth,
