How to get Joomla Tag list in a module

I am using Joomla 3.4.8 and it's Article - Latest Module. That module showed only latest article's title but I want to show introtext and tags also. I was able to show the introtext but didn't able to show tags. Can anyone help me to figure it out? Here is my code given below.

<pre><code>foreach($list as $item):
echo $item->title;
echo $item->introText;
echo $item->tags->itemTag;
endforeach;</code></pre>

When I run this code get the error message:

Notice: Array to string conversion in F:\xampp\htdocs\rnd\joomla\tx_quicx\modules\mod_articles_latest\tmpl\default.php on line 37

Which corresponds to echo $item->tags->itemTag;

Thanks in advance.

Hello Brandon, Here is the error: Notice: Array to string conversion in F:\xampp\htdocs\rnd\joomla\tx_quicx\modules\mod_itl_portfolio\tmpl\default.php on line 37 and my line number 37 is - echo $item->tags->itemTag; Thanks - Asif Islam

The tags field is an array.

You have to reference the element number you want from that field and then reference its itemTag.

foreach($list as $item):
echo $item->title;
echo $item->introText;
echo $item->tags[0]->itemTag;
endforeach;

Will get the first (0th) item tag. If you want all item tags for all items, you'll have to iterate through all elements of the tags array.

This code solve my issue.

foreach($list as $item){
    echo $item->title;
    echo $item->introText;
    foreach($item->tags->itemTags as $tag){
        echo $tag->title;
    }
}

Thanks Brandon
