Frequently Asked Questions

What are the requirements to run Joomla Tag Component? It is built for both PHP4 and PHP5. However, we only support Joomla1.0 during the Alpha testing. We will release an alpha version for Joomla1.5 as soon s we move to Beta.

Are the Tags XHTML Compliant? Yes. During the alpha testing, we will be changing the format of the links but they should remain XHTML compliant. If they don't please ask in the forum.

Do the tags follow the rel-tag specification? The rel-tags specification requires the URL format to be directories. This requires SEF to be enabled in Joomla, and the only supported SEF component at the moment is the old OpenSEF component. We plan to support any other SEF component used for Joomla, so please post your SEF extension in the forum if it is not supported. So if you install OpenSEF or a compatible SEF extension and enable it then the rel-tag specification should be followed.

Can I control the addition of tags by users? In this alpha release, only registered users can add tags. You can however unpublish any tags added by users.
