Render all items with a certain tag through one menu item

[LordRazen]

Hello,

I coded a component with an Admin View which includes a tag field so the items can be tagged.

Now I wonder how to create a generic "tag" page, where only the items with this certain tag are shown.

I could get it to work if I create a static menu item and select the tag as a menu parameter, but since I dont want to create a menu item for every tag, I would like to do this the generic way: Whenever you click on a tag in an item view, you go to a certain menuitem like this:

www.website.com/component/tag/nameofthetag

So the "tag" menu item is like a general menu for all tags to be rendered.

Kinda lost here, a rough concept would do it ^^ Thanks a lot already.

I know this may not be that helpful, but we are using tags in the Sermon Distributor component. You can pull that JCB package and see how it was done. That is the direction I took... but the options are endless. Joomla has its own TAG front-end, I have not made use of it in a 3rd party extension as yet. But I know that it exist and it useful... but not sure what all the conventions are, and so can not be of more help at this time.

Ok still thanks, will have a look in the Component ^^

Hi,
I choose the way through the Dynamic Get:
Name/custom Name: getTags
getType: getCustoms
Main tab:
Main Source: Joomla DB
DB Table (main): xxxx_tags
Selection: a.id AS tag_id a.title AS tag_title

Joint tab:
Join DB Tables:

first):
DB Table: xxxx_contentitem_tag_map
Return Row Type: Single
AS: b
Type: join INNER
On Field: a.id
Comparaison Operators: equal
Join Field: b.tag_id
Selection: b.type_alias AS contentitem_alias

second):
DB Table: xxxx_your_object
Return Row Type: Single
AS: c
Type: join INNER
On Field: a.id
Comparaison Operators: equal
Join Field: b.content_item_id
Selection: c.id AS your_object_id

which produces something like:

SELECT c.id, title FROM xxxx_tags a
    INNER JOIN xxxx_contentitem_tag_map b
        on a.id = b.tag_id
    INNER JOIN xxxx_your_object c
        on  c.id = b.content_item_id;
