Flexi Content allows the display of all the items that belong to a particular "tag" and display them of the front end with a menu link. It would be better if we have the ability to display items related to a set of tags instead of just one tag. That way it would give the admins better control and the ability to filter specific set of items instead of just one type of items.
For example:
The items tagged with "red"
The items tagged with "green"
The items tagged with "yellow"
The items tagged with "red" and "green"
.... The permutations of around eight ways of choosing(1,2, or 3 items) from these 3 items. If the number becomes 4 then it would be 16 different ways of forming lists with just tags.It would throw up tons of user cases.

Hello,
Yes it makes sense to add this feature, i mean it could be useful for an administrator, and we will have this in mind for future implementation.

-- But note that creating multi-tag views would involve not only the menu item but also, updating routing/SEF code (built-in and 3rd party) and also sitemap (e.g.) XMAP plugin, so it involves updating several places.

-- The usual case of using tags, is that the user click on a particular tag inside an existing item or in tags cloud module

-- Priority about tags is to give editor an easier interface to add tags:
e.g.
1. search description text and suggest tags to editors
2. add permission "Can Create new tags", because now there is the permission "Can use tags" which involves both -using existing- and also -adding new- tags

these are the first things to do about tags


-- Flexicontent is Free but involves a big effort on our part.
Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
-- Add your voice to the FLEXIcontent JED listing with a 5-star...
