Exclude_tag not working

Hello,

I am using exclude_tag widget parameter but it does not seem to work.

Here is our code:

            <widget type="tags">
				<arg id="clean_markup">true</arg>
				<arg id="group">me</arg>
				<arg id="only_starred">false</arg>
				<arg id="exclude_tag">Contributors</arg>
				<arg id="format"><p><a href="%%xphp_group_directory%%/news/?tag={title_clean}">{title_clean}</a> - <a href="/live/json/news/group_id/37/tag/{title_clean}">(JSON Feed)</a> - <a href="/live/rss/news/group_id/37/tag/{title_clean}">(RSS Feed)</a></p></arg>
            </widget>

In the example, we are trying to exclude Contributors tag from being listed. But it gets listed anyways. Here is the live URL you can see it on:

https://news.iu.edu/eskenazimuseum/tags/

Any thoughts?

Thanks,

Akbar

Hi Akbar,

It looks like the tags module doesn’t currently support exclude_tag, interesting – we can look at adding that to core, but in the meantime as a workaround you could use some XPHP <field> logic in the widget format to only generate markup only if {title} or title_clean != “Contributors”.

Even that does not seem to work.

				<xphp content="true">
					 <if var="title_clean" not_matches="Contributors">
						<arg id="format"><p><a href="%%xphp_group_directory%%/news/?tag={title_clean}">{title_clean}</a> - [<a href="/live/json/news/group_id/37/tag/{title_clean}">JSON Feed</a>] - [<a href="/live/rss/news/group_id/37/tag/{title_clean}">RSS Feed</a>]</p></arg>				 
					</if>
				</xphp>
            </widget>

What am I missing?

Hi Akbar,

<xphp checks global variables that exist page-wide—if instead you’re using it inside of a widget format to test an individual result’s format variables, you want to use <field inside of the format setting.

Something like this might be a place to start?

<arg id="format">
   <field content="true">
      <if var="title_clean" not_matches="Contributors"/>
      <content>
         ...
      </content>
   </field>
</arg>

Thanks Karl. That fixed it for us.
