Searching by tags with limit and offset

  To grab the news items from a certain tag, you can try the following:
  $slug = uri_segment(3); // or whatever URI segment the tag slug is $tag = $CI->fuel->tags->find_by_tag($slug); $news_model = $tag->get_news(TRUE); $limit = 10; $offset = 10; $items = $news_model->find_all(array(), 'publish_date desc', $limit, $offset);
  Note the $news_model = $tag->get_news(TRUE);. The "get_news" method maps to essentially $tag->news. However, passing TRUE to it will return a reference to the news model with the "where_in" active record already applied to it so you can do further manipulation such as setting the ordering, offset and limit.
  
  Also, FUEL has some built in capabilities to generate those module tag pages for you.

  We have a demo site that you can download from GitHub that helps demonstrate this and includes both a news and an events type module:

  There was an error in the code above in which it didn't grab the actual $tag. I've updated above.
