How do I list all Entries with a certain tag in Wordpress?

Question

I may just be missing this functionality, but does anyone know if there is a widget available:

I need to list the subject for all the entries that are associated with a given tag.

For example: I have 5 articles tagged with "Tutorial", I'd like to see a list as follows:

Tutorial 1 - Installing the app Tutorial 2 - Customizing Tutorial 3 - Advanced edits Tutorial 4 - User managment

Does functionality like this exists in wordpress allready?

Answer 1

If you are comfortable with hacking WP you can try adding to your sidebar with wp_list_pages, http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Tags/wp_list_pages.

Or there are plug-ins like Simple-Tags(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/simple-tags/) that help you manage your tags.

The nice thing about WordPress is there are lots of plug-ins available that can add functionality that the base app does not ahve, a quick search for plug-ins for tabs(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=tag) returned quite a list, sure it's a lot to dig through but that also helps you see what is available.

So i found an article on using custom queries. I modified the script to pull a specific tag, in this case "Open Source".

<?php 
$querystr = "SELECT wposts.* 
             FROM $wpdb->posts wposts, $wpdb->terms wterms, $wpdb->term_relationships wterm_relationships, $wpdb->term_taxonomy wterm_taxonomy 
             WHERE wterm_relationships.object_id = wposts.ID 
             AND wterm_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = wterm_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id 
             AND wterms.term_id = wterm_taxonomy.term_id 
             AND wterm_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'post_tag' 
             AND wterms.name = 'Open Source' 
             AND wposts.post_status = 'publish' 
             AND wposts.post_type = 'post' 
             ORDER BY wposts.post_date DESC";

     $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);

?>

    <?php if ($pageposts): ?>
      <?php foreach ($pageposts as $post): ?>
       <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>

       <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title('<li>', '</li>'); ?></a>
      <?php endforeach; ?>
    <?php else : ?>

    <?php endif; ?>

If you only want to list pages for one specific tag then this would work. However, say you wanted to give a listing of pages for each tag based on the current articles listed on the page.

You might create an array of all the tags using the get_the_tags() function during The Loop and then use that array to dynamically generate the WHERE statement for the query.

Just saw Scott Gottreu's answer and it's great! My PHP knowledge isn't terrific, so I figured I'd post here hoping to get some further info. I want to do the same thing for a tag, but break it down into a list by month. So for example:

Month Year

Month Year

repeat

How would I go about this with PHP?
