Tags + Archive Combination Page

[Michael Deckebach]

Hello there,

I am trying to modify the /archive/ pages (list_post.tmpl) in my theme so that it contains a list of all tags at the top (like you see in the default /categories/ page). I copy-pasted from tags.tmpl, which I believe is what contains the jinja code that generates the list of tags in a default /categories/ output, however it does not populate a list of tags as expected.

Essentially, I am trying to create a single page that has a list of links to all posts as well as a list of all tags for the aforementioned posts. Can anyone provide any help?

Thank you!

Michael

I don’t think Nikola can provide anything like that on its own. You’d
need to write a (fairly simple) plugin that can expose this data to a
template and render it. Nikola only gives templates the variables they
need (so we don’t need to rebuild them when unrelated changes are
made).

Could add a post list to the tags page instead, if don't want to code.

Oh wow, thank you both for the quick responses!

Sorry if I'm not understanding, but Roberto won't your suggestion to add a post list to the tags page have the inverse problem? I tried copying over the relevant pieces of list_post.tmpl into tags.tmpl, but it seems as though the necessary variables to generate a post list are not accessible within the tags page.

Again, thank you both so much for your help and sorry if I'm missing something obvious here. Not the end of the world if this isn't supported.

Best,

Michael

You are right, that probably won't work.

Plan B: https://plugins.getnikola.com/v7/static_tag_cloud/ and use it in the archive page?
