I am building my CMS collection in mardown. I would like to be able to filter the display of the collection based on tags. For example, show me all entries with a particular tag.
I would like to have a page with key filter criteria. When I click the image, it calls the page that displays the CMS and passes it the proper tag to filter by.
For example, I could have an image that says, “Videos” When that image is clicked, it calls up everything in my CMS that has the video tag. I see there is the option in the “Collection” Element under Tags to filter from URL, but I don’t know how to make it work.
From what I know the collection will only filter that which is in the selection you have assigned to it, it won’t show ‘everything’ from all of your collections regardless of whether it has the same tag.
Simon - Thank you for the reply! I was not clear. I am looking to filter one collection by a tag, not from different collections.
Since I wrote my post, I think I have an idea how to accomplish it. I was running my website locally. It will not work that way. If I post my site, I can hardcode a URL with the “?tag=filtertag” behind it. I haven’t had a chance to verify this, but that should pass a tag via a URL to a collection and filter the collection (as long as the ”filter by URL” option is on for the collection.
Surely an easier way (instead of of parsing the tag through the url) would be to create a parent page with an image that links to the child page where the collection is listed by the tag in question ?
