Tags Data Type - Display on Content Page

Templates, (partial) views and macros

Umbraco 7
Hi all,

I have a data type set with the name blogTags

I want to display its contents in a list, as below;
```
<ul class="entry-meta">                 
<li class="cat"><a href="">Wordpress</a></li>
<li class="cat"><a href="">Design</a></li>          
</ul>
```
I've tried a couple of forum solutions, but cannot seem to get any of them to work, they either return compilation error or just displays the following System.String[]

The forum post i've tried most recently is this one here.

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Josh

Hi Joshua

I just gave this a try on Umbraco 7.10.4 with an instance of the tag datatype where the output is set to be "CSV".

By using the following syntax I was able to render the tags
```
    @if(Model.Content.BlogTags.Any()){
    <ul>
    foreach(var tag in Model.Content.Tags){
        <li class="cat">
             <a href="[email protected]()">@tag</a>
        </li>
    }
   </ul>
}
```
I hope this helps!

/Jan

Hi Jan,

Do I need to modify this to make it work? I'm getting a compilation error still..

Description: An error occurred during the compilation of a resource required to service this request. Please review the following specific error details and modify your source code appropriately.

Compiler Error Message: CS1061: 'Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent' does not contain a definition for 'blogTags' and no extension method 'blogTags' accepting a first argument of type 'Umbraco.Core.Models.IPublishedContent' could be found (are you missing a using directive or an assembly reference?)

Thanks!

Josh

Hi Joshua

Can you please paste the entire code you're writing for this? I'll need to see the content of the whole file. This way I can better pinpoint to you where things go wrong.

But I notice that the error is saying "blogTags"...starting with a lowercase b...You should write "BlogTags" like in the example - If you actually have done that I'm not sure that your property alias of the tag datatype is called "blogTags" - Then please doble check that you're targeting the correct alias.

Looking forward to hearing from you.

/Jan
