Hello!

I’m editing the post.hbs and want the mainTag to appear on my posts if the post has one.

I’ve tried the following code, but it’s not working:

{{#checkIfAny mainTag}}

{{mainTag.name}}

{{/checkIfAny}}

It should work, so maybe the context is wrong.

{{#post}}
   {{#if mainTag}}
     <a href="{{mainTag.url}}" rel="nofollow">{{mainTag.name}}</a>
   {{/if}}
{{/post}}

Hi,

that sounds interesting.

The documentation states  “{{mainTag}} – tag item selected as a main tag of a specific post.“, but where do I set a tag as main tag in the App?

I did not find a hint neither here: https://getpublii.com/docs/tags.html  nor here: https://getpublii.com/dev/post-tags/

Thanks, Michael

I’ve tried the code exactly as you’ve laid it out, and it unfortunately doesn’t work… The main tag (in the post I’m testing out) is set / isn’T empty.

I’ll add my file in the next reply (privately). I’m using the Mercury theme.

ok, got it. I have to set two or more tags … Thanks for the quick answer 🙂

Sorry mate, I’m too busy this week. Maybe the next.

Hi, Bob,

just like candidexmedia I get no result with your snippet.

        {{#each posts}} {{! loop that generates a list of posts }}
            <article class="post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry">
                

                    <header class="post-header">
                        <h2 class="post-title">
                            {{! post title }} {{title}} {{! /post title }}
                        </h2>
                        

                            <span class="post-date">
                                {{! post creation date }} {{date createdAt 'DD. MMM YYYY'}} {{! /post creation date }}
                            </span>
                            <span> 
                                {{! post main tag }}
                                    {{#post}}
                                        {{#if mainTag}}
                                            {{mainTag.name}}
                                        {{/if}}
                                    {{/post}} {{! /post main tag }}
                            </span>
                        
<!-- .post-meta -->
                    </header><!-- .post-header -->
                    

                        {{{text}}}
                    
<!-- .post-content -->
                
<!-- .post-inner -->
            </article><!-- .post -->
        {{/each}} {{! end loop of posts}}
    
<!-- .posts -->

Play around with a theme that uses a main tag, e.g. Taste.

It was only one file, so I checked it now, and it works very well for me:

PS: use the full site preview; Maintag is not displayed in the post preview.

does the index.hbs work with mainTag ?

Yes, that was the issue. I was checking in Post-Preview, and not full site preview. It’s working perfectly now, thank you Bob!

It should. It’s used in the index.hbs of the Mercury theme (for the filter), and I assume it’s what’s being used in Technews for the tag icon above the titled in the home page (based on these release notes)

ok, now my theme does it, too . Thanks for your help.
