Question

I need to attach one description line to each meta tag entered into WP. For example:

tags: dog, cat, cow, attached to some post

would become:

dog - spoiled domestic animal
cat - doesn't care about me
cow - has brown spots

The purpose is to display the description line below the searched tag. I.e.:
http://www.wordpressite.com/tag/dog/

Would display:

TAG
TAG DESCRIPTION
RESULTS

I honestly have no idea where to start, except to create a plugin which an extra db field named “tag_description” and make some sort of a “tag management area” in the admin section however this would be my last choice. Is there an easier way?

Any help appreciated!

Thank you.

Answer 1

WordPress got descriptions for “tags”, “categories” and custom “taxonomies” built in for each added term/taxon.

You can use the API function tag_description(), or the lower level API fn term_description().
