Hi,

Is there a way to control the layout grid for how items will appear in the results for a "tag" menu item? I see some settings for tags in K2 global parameters but not how to specify the number of lead/primary/etc. articles, number of columns, etc.

Thanks!
Cheryl

Hi
If you go to module manager and find K2 Tools, you can make the adjustments there.
If you already have Tags running then it works from within a K2 Tools module. Easiest way to find the module is to filter under "select type".

Thanks, Mark - but alas I'm still confused. Under K2 Tools I see settings for "Tag Cloud" but not for tag results, and I don't see where to specify for which tag I want to filter. Am I missing a plug-in? Sorry to be so clueless...

Near the bottom on the right hand side parameters you will see Tag Cloud settings. You can select the categorys size of text etc but no control over columns. The more hits a tag gets the larger the text becomes.

That's what I thought. I don't want a tag cloud though - I was trying to create a menu link that would generate a page containing content in category A AND having tag Y. Is there some way to control the output layout for that? Thanks!

Hi Cheryl,

You might explore some additional plugins that will extend the tag features.

There are several available, and one that is made for K2. You can get a list here

extensions.joomla.org/search?q=tag+cloud

Cheers,
Ed
