Tags pages missing / not created?

[markerikson]

I'm a new Hugo user. Spent one evening setting up my blog, so not much actual experience. It's up and running, but the claimed "support for tags" seems sketchy. When I add an array of tags to a post, I see the tags listed at the top of the post. That's good. However, the tags link to a nonexisting $BASEURL/tags/someTag path. Doesn't seem to be any matching folder or files. Is there something obvious I'm missing?

A quick search of the repo suggests that "tags" are referenced in layouts/_default/single.html and layouts/partials/header.html. No evidence of anything that looks like a "list of all posts for this tag" generator.

Pinging @ethanmad , since it seems like this repo is mostly dead and I see you active on some of the issue threads.

Hey, I don't at all use tags, but I can look at it within the next couple
of weeks and see if I can do something about it.

Check other peoole's blogs using Vienna; tags work there AFAIK.

Let me know what you find.

Eep. That was FAST! :)

Yeah, I'll have to take a bit of time to do some more looking around and check out some more examples. Like I said, this was basically a one-night job a couple weeks ago. Also entirely possible I screwed something up somewhere.

Thanks!

Okay, a real quick couple examples:

• https://github.com/tomduncalf/blog / http://blog.tomduncalf.com/ has tag links that are 404s
• https://github.com/jolexa/blog.jolexa.net / https://blog.jolexa.net/ has tag links that work

I bet @jolexa could help.

Maybe so. Also curious about the difference between "tags" and "categories" that I see: https://blog.jolexa.net/tags/ vs https://blog.jolexa.net/categories/ . Something about that blog having formerly been on Wordpress, maybe?

[icecreammatt]

@markerikson I use tags on my site. Look for mattcarrier.com in my account. Typing from mobile app so I don't have full link handy.

Hi, I believe your issue is handled or discussed in PR #25 . My blog uses https://github.com/jolexa/vienna/tree/blog.jolexa.net which has working tag support. One of the branches or closed PR's in my repo has the actual code needed, but it has been awhile since I looked at it. Hope that helps.

[markerikson]

Sweet, I'll take a look at this tonight. Thanks for the fast responses!

[markerikson]

Think I got this figured out. The stuff in #25 actually seems to relate to showing a summary of tags in the footer. My issue was that I wasn't seeing a /tags/ folder generated at all.

After doing some fiddling, it looks like what I needed to do was modify my config.yaml to include:

indexes:
  tag : "tags"

That started generating the files I was expecting to see. The little sidebar/footer thing is really a bonus from there.

Thanks for the help!
