Generate a list of tags?
How can I create a page that just lists the tags that are being used? Is it possible for it to be auto-updated as well?
For reference I'm using a forked version of Essay 2.
Yes, this is possible, using the {{#all_tags}} list. Here are a few steps:
1. Create the view
Create a new template view, perhaps called tags.html, to display your tags. Note you will need a template view, rather than a page, because to make this tag list dynamic will require using template code.
2. Insert the template code
Into your new view, perhaps called tags.html, add the following:
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
{{> head}}
<body>
{{> header}}
<div class="container archive">
<h1>Tags</h1>
{{#all_tags}}
<a href="/tagged/{{slug}}">{{tag}}</a>
<small>{{entries.length}} posts</small>
<br>
{{/all_tags}}
</div>
{{> footer}}
</body>
</html>
This includes some of the surrounding boilerplate to render the header and footer, from the Essay 2 template.
Please let me know if you have any questions about this, I'd be happy to go into greater detail about any of these steps.
