Module: TemplateHasTags

Simple Module that provides a method for checking if the current template has got (or has not got) one or more specific template tags.

Wanted to control the visibility for some blocks on the frontend in the backend without modifying the code. This seemed to be the best way.

Returns true if the currently used template:

--
has the tag "detail" but not "special"
$page->hasTags("detail !special");

--
does not have the tag "listview"
$page->hasTags("!listview");


You can also use $page->hasTag("lorem ipsum");

I don't understand this =)

Can you present a use case more specifically? When talking about "template tags" do you mean regular html tags?

Check out the Advanced tab in a template detail view. There is a field called tags. You can use it to group templates in the Templates List.

I used to use a regex each time to check for the presence (or absence) of a tag, but now I have this Module so it's more solid.

Ah sorry, template tags, yeah. Get it now. Great stuff!

While creating this Module I realized maybe this should be included in the Selectors?

Ryan, what do you think? Or maybe it is more a visual representation and it should not be used like this?

Micha,

Thanks for this module.

For reference for all reading this, these "tags" have been discussed previously in this thread: http://processwire.com/talk/topic/2689-possible-to-get-field-tags/. See Ryan's thoughts on post #21.

Thanks, nice to see someone was thinking the same.
