Phoca Tags Module?

Post by birdwaves »

I'm looking for a way to use the tagging feature.
What I'd like is a module that can filter the Gallery by using the tags. For instance I could show all photos with the tags 'Red', 'Early' and 'Tall'. I'm thinking like a checkbox thing.
Using Categories won't work, because I can't assign more than one Category per image.

Is there a way to do this?

Hi Jan, I'm looking for this type of module too - I have a gallery set up with several project folders. Each project contains images tagged for instance - "Red", "Green" and "Blue". I'm looking at a menu module where I can create links such as "All Red" and "All Green", and it will show all those images from all project folders.
Currently I can achieve this by using default Joomla menu URL links, but then it doesn't use pagination (which is only part of the Phoca menu types) so it will only show 12 images (the default), even when there are 30+ images tagged.
The 2 solutions I can think of would be 1. a module for tags or 2. having default pagination in the main component Options (instead of the menu link).
Regarding 1. - how easy would it be to copy the Image module and modify to filter tags instead of categories? I've never coded PHP... :/

Cheers,
Nicky

Hi, displaying the items in module is one part but you need to have second part too - to display the images set by the filter module which is not so easy.

Another way could be using Phoca Cart as gallery ( https://www.phoca.cz/phocacart - it uses three thumbnails like Phoca Gallery, it does not have popup in category view but has detail view) because Phoca Cart has advanced filtering features:
