Hi Robert,
Thanks for picking this up again. I have been with many users who are currently creating meta tags - multiple tags in one tag e.g "PDR (2014)", "PDR (2013)", etc to get around the limitation of being able to drop journals on a page using only one tag.

So, in this case they really want to use multiple tags on the journal such as "PDR, 2013, Research, Income".
And then they might want to create a page with one block showing research income for 2013 PDR.
Another block might show income for all of 2013, regardless of whether or not it is from research.

Compared with your use case above I don't think filtering out entries
that have "PDR" because I didn't include it would work for the user.

However, if you added a secondary section to filter out entries by tag,
then I can see the user being able to specify an AND list, but if they
want to provide some exclusion criteria if they want to.

What do you think of this approach?
Cheers.

Title:
  wishlist: ability to display journal entries using mulitple tags

Status in Mahara ePortfolio:

Bug description:
  Mahara 1.8

  Hi Everyone, 
  At the moment displaying journals by tag allows a user to choose only one tag.

  In a scenario where a student writes lots of journal entries for a
  course say "Underwater basket weaving", but wants some to be public
  too, they would create two pages: one for the unit and one for the
  public.

  Lets say they assigned the tags to every post "UBW" and to a few of
  them they add "public".

  They create their course page and add journal entries with UBW. No
  worries!

  They create their public page for UBW stuff and add the tag .... which
  one? They can't add public because that would pickup any other post
  from oter journals tagges "public", they can't add journals tagged
  "UBW" because that would add non public posts.

  Wishlist item is that: user can display posts with UBW AND Public

  Cheers,
  Shane.
