which file to edit to show the tag I clicked ? was created by Robert Watson
I have a K2 Tools module which lists all the K2 tags in a tag cloud .
When i click a K2 tag - all K2 items with matching tags are displayed in a list in the main body of the site.

i want to ADD THE NAME OF THE SELECTED K2 TAG to the top of the item list to show what's been selected.

I am new to sub-templating - I just need to know WHICH K2 FILE to edit to do this.

Help !!

k2 version 2.9.0

It's the file tag.php.

Learn how to copy K2 source template overrides into your Joomla template by reading this: getk2.org/documentation/tutorials/174-templating-with-k2-and-the-concepts-of-sub-templates

I’ve tried to override several tag.php files.

Can you be a bit more specific about the path to the tag.php file you mention.

I copied the ‘default’ file directory to my templates directory to override it.
Is it the ‘default’ folder that you mean?
I’ve done a test edit - by adding a <p> html tag and put some text in it - but nothing shows up.

If caching in Joomla is enabled, you may need to clear it first to view any changes you do in your site.

Thanks Fotis
Can you also give me the code snippet that will extract the tag name that was selected?

Can I ask for this to be made an option on the tag view?
E.g. show selected tag name ?

This should actually be default but I somehow missed it all these years. To be added in K2 v2.10.

Great!!
Thanks for your help.
I managed to do it using the template override in tag.php to parse the page title from the URL.
I used PHP explode function to cut it at the colon “:” in the page title string.

Thanks Fotis
