Can anyone here help me with some code for my blog?
4I’ve wanted to install a tag system in my weblog (expressionengine) for a while now and this past week decided it was time. I settled on Solspace tag, I’ve got it installed, the stuff is there, but I’m clueless about the paths for the codes so it shows up in the entries.
I worked on it until late last night, not even coming close (I don’t think I came close anyway, it never worked, this ain’t horseshoes or hand grenades). I was working on it when DaNiece had another seizure, bless her little kitty heart.
Anyone help? For money? Or the best homegrown catnip a cat has ever had (vet calls it the black tar of catnip).

What part are you stuck on?
I’ve never worked with either of those things, but I’m good at reading directions and the documentation seems pretty good.

@medz the code that goes into the template that calls the tag. I have it installed, it’s working on the back end, checking the module, tags are being saved, clicking on them brings up the entries.
I suck at what’s the path for this, do I need to make a template for that? I’ve installed a few modules, lime expresso, which works with ckeditor. I modified ckeditor.
I had tags showing in my entries with devdemon’s tagger, but clicking them did nothing. I got solspace thinking paying for it would get me some support. If it does, it’s sure not fast.
I’ve copied and pasted the samples from solspace and made modifications and it has to be my lack of understanding the paths. It’s frustrating that I can’t see it.
@medz Well, I’d done part of this wrong. Comparing on the laptop is a lot easier than that little kindle fire. lol - I fixed it, still not working.
Here’s the link for V.4.x doc.
Lisaviolet.com/tag. I put it on my website so I could copy the code for pasting. It won’t copy from their website.
I had to upgrade EE from 2.5.5 to 9.11.9 for the version of tag I got. That went very smoothly.
Your link is one I hadn’t checked out. I will tomorrow. I’m on a small tablet right now.
Okay, I have done the field and channel stuff. It all works. I just can’t figure out the code I need to put in my template so the tags are published.

@medz Well, getting a little closer!
Nope.
Hopes dashed.
It’s working now. I called in the big guns (the weblog developer). Thanks for your help.
@lisaviolet Glad you got it working. Sorry about just throwing links at you. My weekend was busy. That’s the kind of thing I would have had to go through the documentation and trial and error my way through it. Didn’t want to risk hosing your site in the process.
@medz I hosed it last week trying to implement the tags. Paid for a month’s support from the weblog developer. That got fixed, then, crossing fingers since they don’t do support on third party applications, asked for help with a third party application under that monthly plan.
Amazingly, I had email this morning letting me know they were working on it. Really great people.
