TF Content
February 27, 2025

Hello,

Is there any way to use Joomla tags as a column type in TF Content? I would like my records include tags, so Users can click on them to list other TF Content records with the same tag.

Thank you for your time

I created a new column in TF Content, in field type I chose SubformThen I created an XML subform with the field type: tagsAnd uploaded it to /libraries/techfry/forms/content/tags.xml

This allowed me to add a tag to a record, but when I tried to submit the record I received an error1146 Table 'cleunited_joom759.josub_tfc_' doesn't exist

Maybe there's another method to include Joomla tags in TF Content records?

I was hoping to buy TF Content, but if there isn't a way to us Joomla tags as a column type, I need to find another solution. Can I get an answer from one of the developers, please? Thank you for your time.

Hello

We have forwarded this request to the development team. A new tags field is in the development.

Meanwhile you can try using SQL field type.

Sorry to bother again. I can't find documentation on using the SQL field type to allow tags.

In Column > Field Options > Field Settings

I have set the field Type to Sql

Below that, under Field Settings there are the following fields:

Options Select From Where Group By Order By Key Field Value Field Header Multiple Form Layout

Which. if any, paramters do I need to add to these fields to invoke Tags? Thank you for your time

For displaying Joomla tags, you can enter following:

Select: id,title

From: #__tags

Order By: title ASC

Key Field: id

Value Field: title

Header: Select Tag or anything

1146

Table 'cleunited_joom759.josub_josub_tags' doesn't exist

Do you know if this is a bug, or if I am missing parameters/values in my configuration?

Is there a time estimate on when the new tag field will be ready?

Thank you for your time!

Hi, any update on this?

The fact that the error says "josub_josub_tags" suggests a PHP file is repeating the variable for table prefix (josub_)

And if it was corrected, the component would be able to locate and display data from "josub_tags"

I can make this change myself if you can tell me which file/line needs to be updated.

Any help is appreciated.
