Mashup to call up by tag name?

[Marcin416]

I have a post type called project and to these posts I have associated tags. What is the shortcode script to have mashup call up a tag?

Hi, please see the documentation for some examples, or let me know if that doesn’t help:

I did. I’m lost on the whole thing, I’ve spent out on this. Right now my script is.

[mashup width="100%" show="query" show_query="post_type=project"]

My project posts have several different project tags, how do I make the make recall the project post type and within it a specific tag?

Hi,

The syntax can be tricky.  It comes from the WordPress query_posts() function.  The WordPress codex has some more examples at that link.

I think for what you want to do, assuming the tag you want is ‘mytag’ you would write:

[mashup width="100%" show="query" show_query="post_type=project&tag=mytag"]

I’ve tried many using http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Parameters and http://mappresspro.com/mappress-documentation

Such as those below.

[mashup width="100%" show="query" show_query="post_type=project&tag_id=22"]

[mashup width="100%" show="query" show_query="post_type=project&tag=cedar-shakes-and-shingles"]

So far only the basic post type recall works.

[mashup width="100%" show="query" show_query="post_type=project"]

 

If anyone has experienced this and arrived at a solution please let me know. I’m quite new to this and WordPress.

That’s strange, is your custom post type actually using tags, or is it using categoriess or a custom taxonomy?

If you’d like send a login using the contact form and I’ll take a look for you (please tell me which post to check for the mashup).

Chris,

Thanks for the immediate response and  resolving my issues!
