There’s no need to edit the core for that.
It’s just a matter of a custom query.
Do you want tags to work like that all the time?
Hi-
Yeah I am entertaining the option of a custom query right now but am unsure where exactly I might place it.
So far I am in the middle of making a new core page ‘disp.php’ that I will try to customize in that respect.
I don’t mind if the tags will work like that all the time, but if not, then I can always direct to the tags.php which will draw from the tag-single.php.
The key is to edit the topic template so tags are shown as the ?tag=example&forum=123 (where 123 is the actual forum number)
Then you have to make a plugin that hooks
$topics = get_tagged_topics($tag->tag_id, $page);
do_action( 'bb_tag-single.php', $tag->tag_id );
add_action(‘bb_tag-single.php’,’tag_forum_filter’)
where the function tag_forum_filter would manipulate (or regenerate) $topics based on whatever forum number $_GET is set to.
Maybe I am missing something because I don’t totally understand the benefit of changing the topic template, assuming you mean topic.php.
What I would really like to do is auto-filter all the displayed posts so that the only posts you could see at any time are the posts of a specific forum, which can be changed by an outside wrapper.
This forum is going to have to heavy rely on this categorization, so really I would like to make some sort of a hook that will filter on forum if the user is on tags.php or index.php.
