Displaying Posts by Tag in Blog App

I'm trying to create an argument that would allow blog posts to be displayed by tag using the post_in_list.html template. I understand the perch_get function, but I'm trying to display specific tags on one stream, but grouped together by that tag. Being somewhat of a newb at writing php arguments, I can't seem to get there. Any help you could provide would be great.

Hope that makes sense.

I solved it. I just needed to pass the a custom variable through.

if (perch_get('tag')) {
                    perch_blog_custom(array(
                            'tag'        => $doosan,
                            'template'   => $template,
                            'count'      => $posts_per_page,
                            'sort'       => $sort_by,
                            'sort-order' => $sort_order,
                            ));

                    $posts_displayed = true;
                }

If I wanted to text against multiple tags to create an output, how would I do this? I can only seem to test against one or the other, but not both as true.


                if (perch_get('tag') and (perch_get('tagtwo'))) { 
                    perch_blog_custom(array(
                            'tag'        => $ex, 
                            'new' => $new,
                            'template'   => $template,
                            'count'      => $posts_per_page,
                            'sort'       => $sort_by,
                            'sort-order' => $sort_order,
                            ));

                    $posts_displayed = true;
                }

if (perch_get('tag') && perch_get('tagtwo')) {
    ... both tags are set ...
}

I feel like I'm close. Do I need to pass an array to exclude any posts the specific tags I don't want to show up?


 if (perch_get('tag')) {
                    perch_blog_custom(array(
                            'tag' => array($ex, !$used),
                            'template'   => $template,
                            'count'      => $posts_per_page,
                            'sort'       => $sort_by,
                            'sort-order' => $sort_order,
                            ))
                    ;

                    $posts_displayed = true;
                }

I don't understand what you mean. Particularly "exclude any posts the specific tags".
