joomla-tags-selected's Issues

Add more option for templating.

This isn't an issue, just an enhancement question.

Are you planing to add more option to user in this module? Like to show Title or not, or show the publish date or create date, etc.?

Content Type Heading

Firstly - thank you so much for taking this and enhancing with content type - after spending several days trying to find a simple way to show contacts for a particular tag, I was about to tear my hair out until I came across this!!

It would nice to have the option to have the type of tag as a heading even if that is the only kind you are linking to. I am using this within an article and love the nice way the links display but would appreciate having a Contacts Heading above the list..not that I can't put one in myself but with a dynamically changing list, it would obviously be better within the results. Or a nice accordion style list maybe...?

Also, any chance of getting K2 articles included?

Error message - Warning: substr_count() expects parameter 1 to be string

Hi there,

I have installed this module and tried to order by date created (which I couldnt do with lasinducharith's version).

I am getting an error message on top of the module :
"Warning: substr_count() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /home/USER/public_html/WEBSITE/libraries/cms/helper/tags.php on line 511".

I have tried on J3.3.6 and a new J3.4 install with the same result.

Not sure if I have misconfigured or whether there is a conflict anywhere.

Failure on menue

Module works fine, thank you for it. Sine installing mod_tags_selected got in menue only at 1st Level (indepentend which Menu-Type using):

Failure: 1064 You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ')' at line 3 SQL=SELECT type_title FROM xxx_content_types WHERE type_id IN ()

Thanks for reading

Fatal error if Include Children set to Yes.

It giving this error message:

Joomla update will break SQL field

The PR at joomla/joomla-cms#4698 fixes a problem in JTagsHelper where the wrong criteria is used to look for tags.

When pulled into joomla-cms this will break the module, as it currently provided content_type IDs to the module, not aliases.

The fix is in the code - just need to deploy once the PR is accepted / merged
