Extension news

extension tagpack seems to be fine enough for that, maybe ship a configuration for it

Have a look at vge_tagcloud which ships some nice algorithms to calculate element sizes. (e.g. logarithmic vs. linear proportions)

Hi, I just tried what is suggested in the comments here:
I have set up EXT:vge_tagcloud for EXT:news. My question is - how can I link to either the news list or the news search-results list view with a get-parameter containing the search word (= the title of the tag) and then triggering the search.

I tried with calling a page with a news search results plugin on it and appending tx_news_pi1[search][subject]=tag as get-parameter, but this did not work as the extbase controller complained about the missing hmac, what I fully understand. But how else can you actually do it?

I also tried appending tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][search]=tag to the url of a page containing a news list plugin. this also does not work as search is exepected to be an object of type Tx_News_Domain_Model_Dto_Search, which it of course not is.

Any hints?

to show a tag you have to call a news list adding

&tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][tags]=$tag_uid

@George: are you sure you don't want to add a simple Tag list into basic News?
i've written one (a simple alpèhabetical list)

wanna create a new issue called "list of tags" and push the change?

sure.. today i beta test, tomorrow i'll push into News trunk

hey, did you find some time for that? otherwise I will try to look into it

Hi Georg

i have working tag list controller, with it's simple VIEW (USING &tx_news_pi1[overwriteDemand][tags]=$tag_uid for the links)

but since i had already made it within my extension, i haven't already integrated it into news

also because i didn't know if to add the taglistAction to News controller, or create a new TagController

then i discovered the difficulty of selecting just the tags used in the list contexts (storage pid, categories selection, etc)
and the thing started to become messy...

i don't have time in next 2 days to work on it, then i can help!
