Thanks, I appreciate your help.


The tag issue and the image issue (https://joomlafry.com/forum/tf-content-image-column-not-displaying-image) are blocking me from publishing a directory for a client's site.


Resolution for my mailto: prefix problem would also be great, but does not prevent publishing.

Hello

The tag issue and image issue should be solved. Please update the component and TF Library.

We are working on email link issue.

Thank you!

Unfortunately the image problem is unchanged. I don't know if that Column requires other settings changes to display the image instead of the image path. 

There is some progress with tags. However, instead of discreet/separate badges with tag names, the output looks like:

{"0":"2","1":"8","2":"13"}

And this badge is not linked either. I assume that the Item View needs an entry (or entries) in the Join Tables tab, similar to Categories.

Maybe a Join Tables entry needs to be defined in order to display image instead of image file path?

Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello, please update the component and library. This should fix the Tags issue and prefix issue.

For image, under Display Settings, please enter URL Prefix like images/ (If you are using directory or folder under field settings, add that too).

Let me know if this works.

Thank you so much for your help!


Everything works now except the Tags are not links, only static badges.


How do I get them to behave like standard Joomla Tags?

Hello, is there any word on this?


Can TF Content display tags that link to a list of other tagged Joomla content?


Thank you for your time

Hello

Please update the extension. Now, tags should be linked.
