Multilevel tags?

[lanterne_rouee]

How does one use the multilevel tags feature? I thought it was as simple as writing the tags like so:

music
music: the beatles
music: green day

etc., and then selecting the multilevel option on the Customize Journal Style page. Apparently, it isn't though.

So, how does it work? I don't see anything about it in the FAQ yet.

Thank you! :)

edit: They're showing up multilevel on the tags page, but not in the sidebar. Hmmm...

There are two places where tags are displayed (and so, two different display options):

Tags page tags, http://lanterne-rouee.dreamwidth.org/tag/, are controlled by the setting in http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options.bml.

Module tags (the ones in your sidebar), are controlled by the module settings, at http://www.dreamwidth.org/customize/options.bml?group=modules.

Looks like you may have set one, but not the other!

:D That was it! I didn't know about the second setting. lol

Thank you! :)

[afuna]

Glad I could help!

[lanterne_rouee]

Me, too! LOL

Threadhopping, but is this a paid feature? I can't seem to find it (and I have a free account).

[afuna]

They're style-specific -- all of the system styles feature it, but if you ported over a style, it's likely not coded in.

[orchidfire]

Oh, okay. That would explain it—I imported my styles from Livejournal. Livejournal coding for tiered tags should still work though, right? (It would be coded into the style layer.)

[afuna]

Yup!

You're using it now: you won't see a big difference in the way they're displayed unless you look on the Tags page, but you can keep doing what you're doing and things will sort correctly.

And, what afuna said. I completely forgot to mention the modules part!

[lanterne_rouee]

The module setting did the trick! Thanks for replying! :)

...it was that simple for me....

might be something broken in the style you're using?

Re: hm

[lanterne_rouee]

afuna's tip about the settings for sidebar modules fixed it. Yayyy!

Thanks for replying! :)
