Hi,
I am trying to use tags in a custom query:
<?php $homeArticle = new WP_Query();
$homeArticle->query('showposts=10');
while ($homeArticle->have_posts()) : $homeArticle->the_post(); ?>
<div class="postWrapper">
<span class="entryTitle">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<h4>by <?php the_author(); ?>, posted <?php the_time('F, j Y'); ?> at <?php the_time(); ?></h4>
</span>
<? the_content();?>
<div class="post_meta">
<p>Posted in: <?php the_category(', '); ?></p>
<?php the_tags('<ul><li>','</li><li>','</li></ul>'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
But for some reason they never show up... Putting them in a standard Loop seems to be fine though...

Have you tried throwing the post id to the get_the_tags function? So, something like this:
<div class="tag_list">tags:
<?php
$tags = get_the_tags($post->ID);
$total_tag_count=0;
foreach($tags as $tag) {$total_tag_count++;}
$tcount = 0;
foreach($tags as $tag)
{
$tag_name = $tag->name;
$tag_slug = $tag->slug;
echo '<a href="/tag/'.$tag_slug.'" title="'.$tag_name.'">'.$tag_name.'</a>';
$tcount++;
if ($tcount < $total_tag_count)
{
echo ", ";
}
}
?>
</div>
You could probably clean up the first foreach so you only have to use one, but this should give you a general idea.

@silentgap - I pasted this code right into my custom wp_query, and it worked like a charm - thanks!
I'll clean it up for my own needs, of course.
