   I'm using a plugin called "Multi-Column Tag Map" that lets you display all tags that were used and arrange them in a alphabetical order. This plugin works fine in a regular post-type but It's not working on a custom post-type that I created. I created a new post-type called 'books' and has an additional taxonomy(Tags) of 'Writers' and 'Tags'.

   I followed this to create my custom post type: http://justintadlock.com/archives/2010/04/29/custom-post-types-in-wordpress

   How do i customize this to fetch my tags from my custom post-type?

   This is the plugin code:

   in future, please use backticks to display code....on a US keyboard it is next to the 1 on the top left. i've edited your post b/c it broke the site layout.

   this question is sort of way beyond a thematic question. you might want to post it at wordpress.stackexchange.com or wordpress.org/support

   doesn't the latest thematic display tags from taxonomies now anyway?

   Hi Helga, Thank You again. :) I've already posted this in wordpress.stackexchange.com. I also posted here because I'm hoping some of you guys here knows some solution.

   I'm trying to create an index page of tags that is sort alphabetically. example all tags that begins in 'A' should be in 'A' section or all tags that begins with 'G' should be placed in 'G' section.

   I'm doubt Thematic support it natively. -- but it's just me. I'm not sure.

   Any ideas or alternative to this?

   now that your question is clearer, no thematic doesn't support that natively. but can't you just do a loop with the results from get_terms() , which can sort terms alphabetically.

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms

   in your loop you can use a little conditional logic to control how often you trigger the grouping. i'm using categories b/c i don't have enough useful terms in another other taxonomy. obviously, change to suit.

   $terms = get_terms( 'category', array('orderby'=>'slug','order'=>'DSC'));
   
   $xletter = NULL;
   
   foreach($terms as $term){
   
      $letter = substr($term->slug, 0, 1); //gets first letter of slug
   
      if($letter != $xletter){  //if the letter has  changed then print it out
   	echo '<h2>' .$letter . '</h2>';
   }
   
   $xletter = substr($term->slug, 0, 1); //gets first letter of slug
   
   echo $term->name . '';  //echo the term name
   
   }

   Hi Helga,

   Thank your again the solution. Apologize for my stupid question, How can this be implemented/test? do I need to create a custom template? or insert in my function.php? -- how do i link it to my page 'Tags Map' or should I install a plugin where i can run php on specific page?

   thanks in advance!

   i'd create a custom template. either a page template if you want to be able to edit some text in it from the backend of WP. or as the taxonomy archive. taxonomy-writers.php or taxonomy-tags.php or taxonomy.php to have it apply to all custom taxonomies. then paste this in where you'd like it to display.

   i still don't understand what the tag maps are so can't help there.

   The "Tag Map" Basically is for user who wants to browser articles that has that tag. eg, they only want to browser articles that has a tag of "DIY"

   I'm building a mini online library of articles. Now I created a custom post type so I/We can create pages/post of books (separate to other post/pages). Now book has it's own custom taxonomy like "Writer/Author" and "Tags". Tags will be use to categorize or identify the book or article. I use Tags over Category since, I don't need to have a child category or parent category. A one level would work for me and Tags suits to it.

   I hope this make sense. Thanks!

   i guess it makes sense (not really), but i don't see how the 'map' any different from a taxonomy archive? if you are on the bacon tag archive you'll only see posts that are tagged w/ the term 'bacon'.
