    I am in the process of updating my website with the exceedingly good WPPA+.
    One of the reasons was the excellent way that the search works which I had been trying to get on my previous wordpress site.
    Now I want more :-).
    I have worked with the phototag widget and would love to place it on a particular page but have it only showing the tags of the album linked within that page.

    Hopefully this will explain a bit better.

    A large selection of UK birds in a few albums all linked to the parent album Birds.
    I would like to tag the images with the bird families they belong to and for the phototag to list the families but only show on the page linked to the album Birds.

    Is it possible?

    No, sorry. Because of the required speed in finding the photos with certain tag(s), there is a kind of an inverse index table where a tag points to all photos having that specific tag, regardless of the album the photo is in. The tag system is designed to be site wide and this can not easily be changed.
    The tag widget also does not know anything about albums, it only knows what tags exist in the system ( i.e. what indexes are there in the inverse index table )

    Which widget do you use? The tag cloud or the Multi tag?

    First thanks for the prompt response.
    I have used the photo tags filter widget.
    Not tried the Tag Cloud one so have no idea what the difference is.

    Cheers Brian

    Hi again
    Just tried the Tag Cloud and this looks to be more suitable.
    Will play with this and I think it will be fine.

    Cheers for your assistance.
    Keep up the good work.

    Another question this time Tag Cloud.
    Can I alter the display text so that they all display the same size font?.
    If so where about’s in the php function is the change made.

    Cheers

    Try this in any css file:

    .wppa-tagcloud a {
    font-size: 12px !important;
    }

    If i understand you well, you want a tag widget that only shows certain tags to choose from on a specific page.
    If that is the case, i could develop a shortcode to create a tagwidget-like box to add onto the page where the album(s) is/are.
    Would that help you?

    Hi again
    Thanks for the css code that worked just as I required it.

    You are correct
    I would like the tag widget to show on the bottom of the top album and only show the tags from that album and any sub albums attached to it.

    the site is

    I am changing thing and trying them out so the site changes frequently

    Did you put echo wppa_get_multitag_html(); in the page template?

    No
    But all seems to be working.
    Where should I place that code. more to the point for what reason?

    I just wondered how you got a widget on the page as opposed to a sidebar

    I just placed Photo Tag Cloud in the First Bottom Widget Area in the Appearance/Widget.

    Works fine although just discovered that tags with spaces or the & don’t work.
    I will get round that though.

    Will leave it like it is for a while so you can see what I mean.

    I use this format rules for tags: all lowercase except the first char, no spaces, no quotes, no html tags, no backslashes.

    a & should work

    Sadly I tried to change the Tags I previously placed in Admin Albums by using a plugin find and replace.
    But i set it incorrectly and I seem to have removed all the Tags but it must be only from the database because they still show up in the album admin page on each photo.
    But now Tag Photos cloud and photo tag don’t show any tags at all.
    Any ideas about making wordpress reset in the database.

    Hi again.
    Thanks for all your help.
    I have managed to sort out the Tag problem.

    If you do manage to find a way to only show tags from a specific album that would be great.

    Will be added to the wishlist.
