TagPages - Tags functionality for pages in WordPress 3.0

Hi WordPress Community,

This is a follow-up to my post which I wrote a few years ago. – The idea was (and still is) to equip pages with tags and include them with the total count in a combined posts and pages tag-cloud.

In the most recent update, WordPress 3.01, there is still no option to enable tags for pages. – Anyway, the taxonomy-code in WordPress got more flexible since I wrote my post about tagging pages in WordPress 2.3.

So, there are good news: The code of the WordPress-core doesn’t need to be changed manually anymore. Instead there is handy new function 

register_taxonomy_for_object_type($taxonomy, $object_type)

in taxonomy.php which we can use.

Long story short, you can download the plugin TagPages on my projects page.

This screenshot shows editing a page in the Admin Menu.

Kudos go to the WordPress devs for the improved flexibility of the taxonomies.

Greetz,
Berny

    I have a little problem, (not with the plugin), but I cant build it to my page well.

    I would like to build the tags into my pages list (sidebar/menu).

    My idea is:

    Pages Menu:
    – page 1 (page 1’s tags)
    – page 2 (page 2’s tags)
    – page 3 (page 3’s tags)

    How can I do it?
    Could you help me?

    Hi luxusdisco,

    To produce an unordered list of all tags in the sidebar, you could include a call to wp_tag_cloud. If you set format to list it will produce an unordered list.

    For example: wp_tag_cloud('format=list&smallest=10&largest=10');

    If you want to display a pages-list together with your tags you can use get_posts to retrieve a pages-list outside of the loop and call the_tags on every iteration after setup_postdata. Have a look at the examples of get_posts.
