How to Make a Genesis Grid Archive Template for Tags

To display posts from a specific tag or tags, you need to add a 'tag' argument to the $grid_args array.

In the StudioPress tutorial about categories, you are given this example for your home.php.
[php highlight="17"]<?php
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'child_grid_loop_helper' );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop **/
function child_grid_loop_helper() {
if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 2,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid-thumbnail',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( '[Continue reading...]', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'cat' => '6,7' //enter your category IDs here separated by commas in ' '
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}
}

/** Remove the post meta function for front page only **/
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

genesis();[/php]

Simply change the 'cat' argument to 'tag'. And you can have the customization you want. OR, you can grab it dynamically by making the following changes:
[php highlight="6,18"]<?php
remove_action( 'genesis_loop', 'genesis_do_loop' );
add_action( 'genesis_loop', 'child_grid_loop_helper' );
/** Add support for Genesis Grid Loop **/
function child_grid_loop_helper() {
$term = get_query_var( 'term' );
if ( function_exists( 'genesis_grid_loop' ) ) {
genesis_grid_loop( array(
'features' => 2,
'feature_image_size' => 0,
'feature_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'feature_content_limit' => 0,
'grid_image_size' => 'grid-thumbnail',
'grid_image_class' => 'alignleft post-image',
'grid_content_limit' => 0,
'more' => __( '[Continue reading...]', 'genesis' ),
'posts_per_page' => 6,
'tag' => $term
) );
} else {
genesis_standard_loop();
}
}

/** Remove the post meta function for front page only **/
remove_action( 'genesis_after_post_content', 'genesis_post_meta' );

genesis();[/php]

You can save this as tag.php to make all of your tag archives as a grid. Or, you can simply apply this to a single tag by naming it tag-{SLUG}.php or tag-{ID}.php (see WordPress Codex for Tag Templates for more information).
