General Questions/New to Joomla! 4.x • Re: How to Show "Tags" Column in Article Manager Backend

Hello,

Hope this makes sense.

I would like to know if it is possible to show tags in the article manager. I know you can navigate and select a tag to see the associated articles - but I would like to know, at a glance, if I forgot to add a tag to an article.

I am using the most current J4.

Thank you.

Hello,

Yes, it is possible to show tags in the Article Manager in Joomla 4 (J4). While the default setup does not display tags in the list view, you can modify the configuration or use a custom approach to include them.
Navigate to Content > Articles in the Joomla Administrator panel.
Click the Options button in the toolbar (found in the top-right corner).
Under the Articles tab, check if there’s a setting to enable the "Tags" column. Unfortunately, if this option isn’t available by default, proceed to Option 2.
If tags aren't shown by default, you can achieve this through a minor customization:

Locate the Article Manager Code:

Navigate to the backend files of your Joomla installation.
Look for the .
Add a Column for Tags:

Edit the file and add a new column in the table that pulls the tags associated with each article.
Use the function to retrieve tags and display them in the new column.
Example code snippet for retrieving tags:If you’re not comfortable editing code, you can use a third-party Joomla extension to manage tags more effectively. Look for extensions in the Joomla Extensions Directory (JED) that enhance the Article Manager's capabilities.
