Filter by category in tag list was created by Jayknight
Hi all,

I'm using tags to display articles related to a certain subject (namely an artist as we're a music website), and would like to offer the ability to filter by catebory (reviews, interviews, videos, etc).

What shoud i do to do that?

I may not be hostile to modify the core query but unfortunately i don't know where it is located. I don't know k2 enough.

Hello,

The most easy way would be to include a jQuery sorting script, www.sitepoint.com/top-5-jquery-filter-sort-plugins/

You would have to print the category as a CSS class and include a custom filtering menu. This can be done on your overrides.

Thanks Krikor for your answer.

I think i may have badly explained my need.

Here is an exemple of all the pages containing the tag "Phinehas" : beehave.fr/news/tag/Phinehas
It displays articles from many different categories.

I would like to add some checkboxes on top with every categories, and if the user selects only "Interviews", i want to only display, on the same page, only the articles that have the tag "Phinehas" and are located in the "Interviews" category.

One way of doing that would be to display all articles (not limiting to 5 like now) and filtering via javascript or PHP, but i was wondering if any other solutions would work. In which PHP file is the query done?

You can use a larger limit in the tag views and implement a script like mentioned above.
Here's another useful link in order to locate the script that works best for your project

The file you need to edit is the tag.php file
