Wordpress - changing tag pages to use get_posts?

I'd like to make my tag pages like a little sitemap, pumping out a big list of links to all the posts in them. Is there a way to find out what tag is currently being shown and send it over to the get_posts command?

Without a plugin preferably - I don't trust those things

 

This might work. I haven't tested it though.

<?php 
$current_tag = single_tag_title(' ', false);
$getposts = get_posts('tag='.$current_tag);
foreach($getposts as $post) : ?>
<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
<?php endforeach; ?>

Code (markup):

 

there is a limit on the maximum number of tags that can be displayed in the tag cloud.

what was posted above may work but by default wordpress will display no more than 45 tags

Yes, I know it's for search, although you can apply the same technique to tag pages as well. Instead of using search.php, put the code in tag.php.

@just-4-teens: I think he's talking about tag archive pages, not tag clouds.

 

eso to make an archive you still need to call the tag cloud

 

Got it working, thanks folks. Just a quick update for anyone else who might run into this:

Get_posts doesn't seem to support tags at all (at least in the versions I tried). It'll give you every single blogpost, up to the max # if you try using it. Aka the codex help page is a bit wonky. However, you can fiddle with sticking tags into a WP_Query and then it works
