Tags: Advantage? For what? How to use? 2 Months, 1 Week ago  
Sorry, I wanted to figure out what your 'Tags' feature is. No success.

I search for an answer for following questions:

1. What this feature can do for me? I do not understand your 'manual'.
2. How works it?
3. What are the settings?
4. How can I use it?

Your explanations (manual or forum entries) are relatively senseless.

Do you have or can you give me an understandable explanation?

I really want to understand what is so amazing at this feature.

It allows you to categorize and group content in a way that is friendly to both people browsing and administering your Joomla! site. It also allows people who visit your site to easily find the content they want by looking through the labels you have set up. Of course, it has also positive affects on your SEO rank.

It's does all that these extensions can do and more:

Sorry, that is what I meant. Your manuals are not very helpful.
No examples, no step by step explanation. I read this all before, tried it out and had no success.

For example: How do I get 'Tags' displayed on an frontend page?
Other extensions works with a module and yours(?).

For me are your manuals at main points only a adumbration.

Other components use modules to display "Latest, Popular" etc. tags, not to display tags in articles. To display tags in articles these 2 articles are enough, read them carefully plz:
www.joomace.net/support/docs/acesef/user...l/configuration#tags
www.joomace.net/support/docs/acesef/how-...and-social-bookmarks

For now, there is no Lastest or Popular module for AceSEF but will be available soon.

Ok, I read this articles before but it was not helpful for me.

I do not understand really what I have to do to use the 'Tags' feature but you believe that this articles are good enough. So I think this is a dead end. ):

I believe because with all respect, you're not the only user of AceSEF Pro/VIP package. What you have to do:

1. Make sure the component you're trying to show tags, supports at least one of the affected areas and you've configured it correctly from AceSEF's Configuration or Extensions Parameters.
2. Make sure you've selected that component in AceSEF=>Configuration area
3. If you've set to Yes the Enable category filter option (from AceSEF's Configuration or Extensions Parameters) then you should select which categories you want tags to be showed.
5. Make sure that the "Enable" option is ckeched in Tags tab of the URL you're trying to show tags. Also, you must be sure that the tag is included in meta keywords of that URL from AceSEF=>Metadata

Here you've the screenshots:

I have exactly the same problem. I think that Tags will be very useful to me; I've read all the documents you link to (mostly three or four times). I can't get any visible result

1. Make sure the component you're trying to show tags, supports at least one of the affected areas and you've configured it correctly from AceSEF's Configuration or Extensions Parameters.
As far as I can tell this is done, I'm only working with standard content articles.
2. Make sure you've selected that component in AceSEF=>Configuration area
Done, see image.
3. If you've set to Yes the Enable category filter option (from AceSEF's Configuration or Extensions Parameters) then you should select which categories you want tags to be showed.Categories are set to No.
5. Make sure that the "Enable" option is ckeched in Tags tab of the URL you're trying to show tags. Also, you must be sure that the tag is included in meta keywords of that URL from AceSEF=>Metadata
Done. I've set up one Tag only 'branding', added it on the Tags tag*. I've picked three Custom URLs related to this topic; enabled Tags, added 'branding' to the meta-keywords.

. . . and nothing . . .

Baffled

Bob

* The entry for Tags shows 20 Items - I have no idea what they are supposed to be

Joomla! 1.5.21 AcESEF 1.5.5

@Bob
5. Is the "Enable" option checked in Tags tab (in URL edit page) of the URL (AceSEF=>URLs=>sef-url-i-want-to-show-tags.html) ?

Hi Denis,

Yes I think so. I set this on all three URLs I'm testing.

This page is here

I'm sure that there is something else obvious that I'm missing here.


Part of the problem is that I'm not quite sure what I expect to see
