Item Tags not incrementing count

Ok. Maybe not. I’ll go check Follow Me, then. It seemed like the one on top was highlighted, but when I look at Elastc 2, it’s blue...?

The tags don’t show up until I click the icon. Like I was going to add more tags. The 2nd screenshot is what you see when you first go to the blog post. As opposed to Tumblr, Livejournal, Wordpress - where they’re visible when you go to the blog post. The reason I’m so adamant about the count is because the tags aren’t there until you click the icon.

I don’t know. It seemed like an out of the box function for a blog. I need to know where to go to make it work. I just installed this sw, and it didn’t seem like custom coding would be required to tag blogs and then see the tags.

So, you tell me what files I need to go update because I just don’t know how this system works that well yet.

I’m not asking it to work any other way than how it should be designed. The tags say 0 no matter how many are there. See screenshots.

If the tag shows 0, no one will click there to see there are actually tags. So, they may “work” but no one will use them. I just do not comprehend why this would be DESIGNED to work this way unless I custom update it.

To be clear, when I go to the blog post, no tags show up. I have to click the tag icon to see them (as if I was going to add more). I would prefer it if they would just show up in a little group at the bottom as soon as I go there. But, my point is if people have to click on the tag icon to see the tags, they will not do so if it shows 0 tags.

It just seems like something doesn’t work right here.

Interesting concept. Design a skin that will show the little tag icons, and while the function itself works - adding them, clicking on them... But didn’t bother to add the ability to see them as part of the blog post - rendering them more or less moot. So, I need to add a custom ability... And I can view how it’s done, where? How? And will I have to add it back if/when there are updates to the skin?

Other sw providers - if the skin doesn’t support all the features, it’s not released until it does. I’m just amazed...

Will that fix Elastic 2 as well?

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

There's still no file upload on the Forum interface, though. I checked.

So, basically, what I'm thinking is that I'll make a Featured Authors group that will post via blog and then have a forum for people to post their stories and have discussions, etc.

That still means that the file uploading would need to go in the Blog section.

But going back to the importing forum thing - would porting my phpbb3 forum to jamroom bring over the attachments into the posts - as they are today?

Adding Multiple TXT files to a Blog post


Installation and Configuration

Awesome. I'll go give this a shot. So, to be clear, I can add up to 50 individual fields to upload files? I wonder what that will look like... Most times, people would post A file and then come back and add another file; I'd need to make sure they didn't accidentally replace the prior file. Hmmmmm...

We'll work through this one step at a time. First thing is to get the blog post to display with the file attachment, so I'll work through @Paul's comments and yours @Nate, re: tpl file... (note to self: back up tpl file before messing with it).

Then I can sort though multiple file uploads. My question is, though, if I add let's say 5 fields because the likelihood of someone needing more than 5 at a time isn't high, and then it has 5 fields in the Edit form... If they try to add 1 file, does that replace one of the 5 or would that add to the 5? Or would I need to sort it out like 5 in the NEW and then 20 in the EDIT... Is anyone able to follow my logic here, just thinking through step-wise. Because right now, all I see is 1 field, so 1 file. But, wouldn't 5 fields mean only 5 files, so there's no "add" function...

I'm sure I'm just confusing people, but if someone can understand the ask, let me know... I'll work on the template updating.
THANK YOU!!!
