Tag Management Review

• Use tags to organize

content in OU Campus

easily

• Create a more holistic

taxonomy

Tag Management Review

• Administrators can

manage tags centrally through Setup menu

• Tag Access Settings is

another useful tool to manage what tags are used where

What Can We Tag?

Webpages Assets Images PDFs and Other Documents RSS Items

One Step Further

• Tags are a great tool when inside OU

Campus, but how can we extend their functionality to a published webpage?

– Answer: the Tag Management XSL API!

• This is what we’ll be focusing on today

XSL API for Tags

• There are 8 API calls you can trigger that pull information

about tags

• Tag data is brought in via XSL

– Use doc() function in XPath to call the API

• The doc() call will bring in tags as XML node structure
• Example:

– <xsl:copy-of select=“doc('ou:/Tag/GetAllTags')/tags”>

XSL API for Tags

• GetAllTags
• GetTags
• GetFixedTags
• GetCombinedTags
• GetParents
• GetChildren
• GetFilesWithAnyTags
• GetFilesWithAllTags

XSL API for Tags

• Each API call requires different parameters to be passed

to it via query string

• Two examples:

– GetAllTags has no parameters – GetCombinedTags requires the site name and root- relative path to be passed

• Check out the support site for all parameters:

Examples

• What can we do with

these API calls?

– Use tags as meta keywords – Display all tags for a certain page – Use tags to create “Related Content” box – So much more!

Let’s Look!
