How do I add tags to entries on the blog start page? My links aren't picking up the URL base there, but do elsewhere.

I have seen this discussion from 2019, but the answer there refers to files that don't exist in today's distribution so I assume something's been refactored since then.

My tag links are working correctly in the following locations:

• in the sidebar
• on the pages for individual entries

I would like to also show tag links with each entry on main blog pages. Taking inspiration from the "author" layout and individual blog posts (system/layouts/blog.html), I added the following to system/layouts/blog-start.html after entry-meta, before entry-content (line breaks added here for legibility):

<div class="entry-tags">
<p><?php echo $this->yellow->language->getTextHtml("blogTag") ?> 
<?php $tagCounter = 0; foreach (preg_split("/\s*,\s*/", $page->get("tag")) as $tag) { if (++$tagCounter>1) echo ", "; 
echo "<a href=\"".$this->yellow->page->getPage("blogStart")->getLocation(true).$this->yellow>toolbox->normaliseArguments("tag:$tag")."\">".htmlspecialchars($tag)."</a>"; } ?></p>
</div>

This does not seem to be picking up the location prefix. Instead of URLs like example.com/blog/tag:something/, which work, I'm getting URLs like tag:something/, which don't.

I realize that on an individual blog page "this" is an entry while on blog-start "this" is the "container" (the blog). But I thought that $this->yellow would reach the same destination from any page in the site, and so $this->yellow->page->getPage("blogStart")->getLocation(true) would behave the same from both starting points. I suspect that that's not actually a correct assumption, but as a PHP newbie I'm not sure where to go from here. Can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong?

I think you're almost there. In the blog-start layout you should use getLocation(true) without additional API calls. Have a look at the author URL code in the entry meta section, it slightly differs from your tag URL's. Here is an example to show tags in blog-start layout.

<?php if ($page->isExisting("tag")): ?>
<div class="entry-tags">
<p><?php echo $this->yellow->language->getTextHtml("blogTag") ?> <?php $tagCounter = 0; foreach (preg_split("/\s*,\s*/", $page->get("tag")) as $tag) { if (++$tagCounter>1) echo ", "; echo "<a href=\"".$this->yellow->page->getLocation(true).$this->yellow->toolbox->normaliseArguments("tag:$tag")."\">".htmlspecialchars($tag)."</a>"; } ?></p>
</div>
<?php endif ?>

Hope this helps as a starting point.

Thank you! That did it, and I now see what I was doing wrong with that extra call.

I edited the layout name to make this answer easier to find. Hope that's okay with you.
