The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

This is an excellent component. It makes it dead simple to add unlimited additional tags to your Articles and create a search module to search them. The results are output in a blog style with clickable links to the tags.

Very easy to use, and produces excellent results.

It's a nice and flexible extension for tagging. However not enough for which tags are include special languge chars for example Turkish İıçğüşö chars. If you are using theese chars, this is not appropriate for searching or listing search engines. Because of it will be generated address like your writed shown label, and actually address is not like it.

For example:
Value: Öğretmen Hakları (convert to retmen_haklar)
Label: Öğretmen Hakları
View in article label: Öğretmen Hakları
Viewing Address: ....../tag/field-Öğretmen Hakları.html

Also address is actually readable by robots:
......../tag/field-%C3%96%C4%9Fretmen%20Haklar%C4%B1.html

CP will best of tagging extension, if use transliteration for covert labels to sef addresses.

That, what i'm calling "flexibility"! It was helpfull in last couple of projects my clients was excited because of result. Also i was really impressed by package volume.
Thank you and keep up a great job!

About the component: it's great

Suggestion: I think div.header this css class should be avoid in style sheet given with this component because .header is a very commonly used class name

thank you for your great component.

Excellent extension for cataloging articles, but lacks support

It's a good extension. It allows you to define a set of tags, you attach these to your Joomla articles. They will be displayed with the article.

It's quite simple to set up and works well.

This application was the best probably only fit to what I wanted to achieve. Clean and neat with custom search options. The developer also responds quickly to queries. Highly recommended!

This is a great extension and im very happy to install it in my joom site!!! Thank you guys for awesome component and module! 100% recommend it

This is a component that should have an Excellent review... I only give it a GOOD review because of one little but verry big thing... Where is the support forum?

But dispite that little detail i beleive that this Component is one of the Best Component ever created for Joomla...

Good Work Guys, look forward to the victory of Italy in Brasil '14

This is one of my favorite joomla extensions of all time. What would I do without this component? Go back to using sections and categories? Forget that! This is one of those components that really should be built into joomla, makes searches much more accurate. Now all we need is a search by author and time integrated into this ;-)
Thanks for submitting this, this changed the structure of my site.
Cheers Josh Lewis.

Very impressed with this extension, which brings functionality that you'd expect Joomla! to have out of the box, and does it to a high standard with professional finish.

You can't ask for a better way to give authors the tools to finely categorise their articles. So often an article fits into more than one category, so this is really a must. Being able to choose between listbox, checkboxes etc. for each property item in the editor is my favourite feature.

There are some gaps in the documentation online, but the built-in documentation is probably all most people will need, and is well-written and clear. The author is very helpful in answering questions too - and promises even greater things for the next version!

Great component for easy tagging.
I have just one question: how can I make sure the tags for an article appear above the article, instead of below?
What file do I need to edit for that?
any tips welcome...

This is a wonderful component. Really what I was looking for.
The only thing it lacks is the ability that the admin allows "free tags".
Say that I want to specify a tag/field called "issue number", and I want the enter a number rather than having to choose from a list.
I know this means it moves from beings tags to fields, but such a great extension deserves to grow to include such things.

Thanks and keep up the good work.

I recently develop photoweb with hotlinked images from external hosting. CP fitted my advanced search need except that thumbnail never shown. It never shown on my hotlinked images website never on localhost. What could be the problem?

Andrea at solidsystem seem not to respond my last email about this problem, even after i've stated (just like Louis done) that i am willing to take it professionally.

CP is excellent. It fit my need & I really need this extension ASAP. It's quite frustating to have it this way.

Very nice component/module and plugins!

However, having upgraded to the latest SH404SEF, it stopped working and came up with

"Please make some selections"

after using the search module (which is not supported anyway).

Now got it to work with this setting in SH404SEF: in settings, by component, leave everything as is, but change the last column to "Use component or core plugin" and turn "Search Engine Friendly URLs" in Global Configuration ON!

That did the trick for me, hope it works for others too.

This is exactly what I am looking for. thanks so much, definitely will donate.
just a small problem, the custom property parameters in article manage seems not working, nothing changes after i select and submit it. is it a bug or just my problem.

Hello,

it looks really good and what I needed but I have one problem.

I am creating new record in manage cp menu, then assigning articles and while I go to the front end and I try to click on tags in cloud I recieve:

"Please make some selections"

Am I doing something wrong? Do I need to assign articles to more then 1 tag? I am trying with "List box (single selection)"

It looks really great so I hope I will go through this problem.

This is a great component/module and it's helped me a lot.

However, I cant seem to get the thumbnail to show up properly and I cant seem to find any documentations on this?

I went through the demo backend and frontend and I'm still stuck, can you please help? (I'm posting this here since I also cant find a forum where any questions could be addressed)

Thanks!

I am very content with custom properties. It is exactly what I needed to display multi category items. First, I encountered the problem described by marycs (500 error layout blog not found). But I have found a solution, and it works fine: just go to components/com_customproperties/views/show/tmpl/default.php, copy the file and rename it to blog.php, so now you have two php files. That´s it and should do! Oh, and thanks again to Andrea for the friendly support! 8-)

I rarely review extensions but felt I had to because this extension is powerful, easy to use and part of every site I build. I depend on it, literally.

I decided to try CP because I needed a way to categorize beyond the limited single level section/category that Joomla provides and tags came to mind. I tried almost every tag extension and hands-down, CP beat them all... that was a much older version too!

Furthermore, CP is more than a simple tagging solution, much more.

You can create simple but powerful ways to categorize, organize and help users zero-in on what they are looking for including tag clouds and simple or complex search options based on the tags with regular search... powerful.

I would pay for this extension and many of the extensions in this league are commercial and probably have to be because it takes lots of time to create. Never had any issue!

I have two questions for the author that I hope will be answered so here it goes...

Can we expect more development and additional features anytime soon?

Any chance of a Pro version? Yes paid, sorry freeloaders and no offense intended.

Some of us are dependent on this extension and I would like to see continued development and to inspire the author to push this extension further.

Maybe a free basic version and advanced Pro version with support to keep this great extension moving while leaving the other tag options further in the dust...

Much Success and Excellent Work

P.S. I use CP a lot and after reviewing rules for links, I might include one of my sites to show what you can do with it.
