[resolved] Filter posts in a category by tag (7 posts)

    Hi guys,

    Ok... Here's a good one..

    Have 2 categories A & B, now, these two cats share some tags and have some just for themselves.

    So,
    a) I'd like each category to show a tag cloud made up of the tags that only the posts in that category have.

    b) when one of these tags is clicked, it only returns the posts in that category that are tagged with it. Ignoring the ones in the other Cat.

    Ie.

    Cat A has posts with the tags (X,Y,Z)
    Clicking on Y brings a category filter of posts in cat A tagged with Y.

    Cat B has posts with the tags (V,W,Y).
    If you click on Y, even though this tag is shared with Cat A, clicking on it in Cat B would only show the posts in Cat B with this tag.

    Help?

    One possibility is something like the TDO Tag Fixes plugin.

    Thanks MichaelH, that's exactly what I needed.

    After installing I've added a tag cloud to the top of the category archive template.

    Now clicking on the tag filters the page.
