Class TfishTagHandler

Count TfishTag objects, optionally matching conditions specified with a TfishCriteria object.

Parameters

Returns

Overrides

Get TfishTag objects, optionally matching conditions specified with a TfishCriteria object.

Note that the object type is automatically set, so it is unnecessary to set it when calling TfishTagHandler::getObjects($criteria). However, if you want to use the generic handler TfishContentHandler::getObjects($criteria) then you do need to specify the object type, otherwise you will get all types of content returned. It is acceptable to use either handler, although good practice to use the type-specific one when you know you want a specific kind of object.

Parameters

Returns

Overrides

Generates a tag select box control.

Use the $online_only parameter to control whether you retrieve all tags, or just those marked as online. Essentially this provides a way to keep your select box uncluttered; mark tags that are not important enough to serve as navigation elements as 'offline'. They are still available, but they won't appear in the select box list.

Parameters

Returns

Build a select box from an arbitrary array of tags.

Use this when you need to customise a tag select box. Pass in an array of the tags you want to use as $tag_list as key => value pairs. If you have multiple select boxes on one page then you need to assign them different keys and listen for matching input parameters. If you have organised tags into collections, you can run a query to retrieve that subset using the parental ID as a selection criteria.
