Here is an example for having a Tagcloud on thePage and to have Tags for each news displayed.

Needed Extensions:

• danp_libs > 1.6
  
• danp_extendnews >1.2: It extends tt_news for some fields like “tags” and “listimage”. It also adds new Markers like ###TAGCLOUD### which you can use in your Newstemplate
• danp_tagcloud >2.0

Steps Overview:

1. Install Extensions

2. Add some Tags to your News/Blogentries

3. Add a new Page for the Tagsearch

4. Insert static Template in Maintemplate

5. Insert Tagcloud

6. Modify news_template and add Markers

7. Adjust TypoScript Configuration
   
   

to 3) Add a new Page for Tagsearch:

1. Add new page “blog tag search”

2. Insert Plugin “News” in Mode “Search”

3. Insert extensiontemplate on that site and configure the newsserach only to search in the tagfield:

   plugin.tt_news.searchFieldList = tx_danpextendnews_tags

4. Insert a constant blogTagSearchPid in Maintemplate:
   (constants part):

   
   blogTagSearchPid=<pid to the blog tag serach page>

5. Test it :-)

to 4) Insert static Template in Maintemplate:

Insert the Static Template “Extnews: ConfigureTagclouds” .

This configures:

plugin.tt_news.displaySingle.tagcloud andplugin.tt_news.displayList.tagcloud

This configuration is needed for the Markers###TAGCLOUD###. You can easily edit the properties (use TS ObjectTree):

to 5) Insert Tagcloud:

You have two possiblitys:

• Insert the Tagcloud as Plugin on the page and use the preconfiguration for “news->tags”

• Insert the tagcloud in you Template using the TS-Code and fill some Marker or TemplaVolia-DS with that.

lib.tagCloud_ttnews< plugin.tx_danptagcloud_pi1
lib.tagCloud_ttnews {
 generationMode=fromDBField
 tagfield=tt_news:tx_danpextendnews_tags
 pid_list={$plugin.tt_news.pid_list} 
 parameter=tx_ttnews[swords]
 maxtags=30
 linkpid={$blogTagSearchPid}
 sys_language_mode=content_fallback
}

to 6) Modify news_template and add Markers

You can add the Marker##TAGS### for a simple display of the Tags, or (which is better) youcan use ###TAGCLOUD### to display a List of the Tags which are linkedto the blogTagSearch page.
