custom search

i have code that will list tags in a specific category, without duplication. It provides links to an archive view of all posts which have the tag.

<ul><?php
error_reporting(0);
@ini_set(‘display_errors’, 0);
query_posts('category_name=uncategorized');
	if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
        $posttags = get_the_tags();
		if ($posttags) {
			foreach($posttags as $tag) {
				$all_tags_arr[] = $tag->term_id; //USING JUST $tag MAKING $all_tags_arr A MULTI-DIMENSIONAL ARRAY, WHICH DOES WORK WITH array_unique
			}}endwhile; endif; wp_reset_query();
$tags_arr = array_unique($all_tags_arr); //REMOVES DUPLICATES
	//echo '<pre>'.print_r($tags_arr, true).'</pre>'; //OUTPUT FINAL TAGS FROM CATEGORY
echo '<ul>';
foreach ($tags_arr as $tag) {
echo '<li><a href="' . get_tag_link($tag) . '">' . get_tag($tag)->name . '</a></li>';
}echo '</ul>';
?></ul>

otherwise there’s a tag search plugin I used a while back. Returns all posts with a given tag, but I’m pretty sure not specific to categories. haven’t seen a plugin that can do that yet.

hi Deepbevel

sounds good but I think it needs to be more like a search / filter for multiple criteria.

thanks

If you create the tags, the terms you use become the criteria. You can alternately use a tag search instead of a showing a list. Tag searches can be based on mulltiple criteria.

I know of one plugin that does tag searches:

advanced-tag-search

You can mod the default form, here’s what I did with mine:

# Default form
$str .= '
<form method="POST" action="" id="form-search-tags">
    <fieldset>

            <table>
            <tr>
 <td>
 Gift recipients first and last name
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <input type="text" name="tagname_is" />'.$error.'
                    </td>
                    </tr>
           <td style="display:none;">
                       <select name="order_by">
                       <option value="terms.name"></value>
                       </select>
                     </td>
                     </tr>
                     <tr>
                    <td>
                        <input type="hidden" value="reset fields" />
                    </td>
                    <td>
                        <input type="submit" value="search " />
                    </td>
                </tr>
            </table>
    </fieldset>
<input type="hidden" name="search" value="ok" />
</form>
';
