[dihuta]

Great! But some characters doesn't display.

I found an arcticle which explain how to embed more characters (utf-8, other languages) into WP-Cumulus, but This vbulletin tagcloud version may different. Could you please give us the source code version?

Thank you very much.

[is_it_me]

Loving it. :)

Any way for this newbie to be able to get it to work as a 'forum block' too?

[denman75]

lol its nice ,tnx for this

[haXan]

Like at Wordpress tag cloud...

Thanks...

[ngcoders]

The source is available at WP-Cumulus wordpress page, I have modified it. Can you tell which character are causing issues.

[ericgtr]

Great mod here, installed!

[Candostum]

Great mod thanks installed.

any help ?

thank you :)

[WNYorker]

When i click a tag it takes it to a dead link.

For example, i click "Clown" and it takes me to mysite.com/clown.

Any help?

[dihuta]

The source is available at WP-Cumulus wordpress page, I have modified it. Can you tell which character are causing issues.

I need to embed these characters so tagcloud.swf can display my language properly (vietnamese).
Character set: ???????????????ĂĐĨŨƠ???????????????ăđĩũơƯĂẠẢẤẦẨẪẬẮ ẰẲẴẶẸẺẼỀỀỂ ưăạảấầẩẫậắằẳẵặẹẻẽềềểỄỆỈỊỌỎỐỒỔỖỘỚỜỞỠỢỤỦỨỪễệỉịọỏốồổỗ ộớờởỡợụủứừỬỮỰỲỴ?ỶỸửữựỳỵỷỹ

(Open source file, click textbox and click Character Embedding... button. Paste that characters in to Include these characters and click Auto Fill.)

Could you please help me embed these?

with cyrillic errors in charset...
This case you need embed all cyrillic charset (see bellow screenshot). We may need a seperate version of tagcloud.swf for each specific language.

@DjEddie - I think the sql query is not returning tags in your case , are are posts tagged in your site.

@ NYorker - I belive tags returned are for some contenttypeid which i dont know about , this will need you to change $contentTypes array and put in the correct url for it.

[Dr.osamA]

thanx man

but i think this mod don't work in Arabic forums

can use other Character
________
YAMAHA QY10 (http://www.yamaha-tech.com/wiki/Yamaha_QY10)

[Diablotic]

Tagged for future use when all characters are displayed correctly

[STORMS]

Is it possible to display this tag cloud on the Vbulletin Side Bar, on my forum home?

[ngcoders]

@STORMS

add a where to the query - WHERE TagContent.contenttypeid = 2

And it should work fine, itll only access forum tags.

[STORMS]

@STORMS

add a where to the query - WHERE TagContent.contenttypeid = 2

And it should work fine, itll only access forum tags.

I'm uncertain how that works.

Also, when I use this on the Vb CMS, all it reads is "Ponder." I'm not sure how I can change that either.

its a new site .. so no tags have been made yet. ... so am i guessin right that those errors that I got is because no tags have been created? .. and if topics had the tags those errors would go away?

[darren1981]

Great mod :)

I wonder is this is SE Friendly tho ?

[ngcoders]

@DjEddie ... Yep , ur right
@darren1981 ... Currently no , but can be made very easily

[Doctor Death]

I put this onto my 4.0.2 install and it remained a blank frame. The install was by the book. Anyone else have that issue?

Thanks!

[Mastermaik]

Same Problem as the doc.


No activity shown...... :(

[nextslit]

Nice mod , thanks : )

[ngcoders]

If its showing blank , it means you have no tags in your system. Please check if you have tagged threads / blog posts.

[ThorstenA]

An integration with the Tag Cloud on Forumdisplay (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=229475) product would be very nice !

[pilotxx]

i found the problem.
the code option[homeurl] did not get the full path. it take it without the "HTTP://".
the same problem is with the links.
can you fix it?

[LuckyNeo]

I'd like to have a cloud of tags for the forum! I would be very grateful if such a hack!

[kho91]

th's don't word with internet explorer

[pilotxx]

Hii

one more problem. my site is in hebrew and i get the hebrew tag as gibrish.
where can i change it to unicode?

[Bouncer222]

I don't use the default CMPS, but use vbadvanced, how to implement it with that?

[Jabong82]

What exactly does this do?

Is this for like search engine optimization?

[Dennis Kaczor]

Hello all, installed this and it seems to be working with the exception when you click on the Tag Cloud link it goes to a black page see below.

http://www.XXXXXXXXX.com/tags.php?tag=hdr+images+cherry+beach

This should be for my forum:
http://wwwXXXXXXXXX.com/forums/tags.php?tag=hdr+images+cherry+beach.

What code would I need to change in order for this to work.

Thanks in advance

Dennis

replace

$vbulletin->options['homeurl']

with

$vbulletin->options['homeurl'].'/forums/'

[Dennis Kaczor]

replace

$vbulletin->options['homeurl']

with

$vbulletin->options['homeurl'].'/forums/'

This looks so simple, yet it does not seem to go to my forums. Is this correct with adding the forums in this area?

Here is the change


$url = $vbulletin->options['homeurl'].'/forums/''/'.$contentTypes[$tag['contenttypeid']].urlencode($tag['tagtext']);
$tagsHTML .= "<a href='$url' style='$size'>$text</a>";

I get this error message on the Home Screen, when I made the changes below

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/XXXXXXXXX/www/www/forums/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(177) : eval()'d code on line 52

[Das UndergrounD]

as I do for version 3.8?

[DaanLT]

Only English chars, big minus. We need international chars support.

[sKippah]

Thanks for this, very nice one. Works fine.

[Selcor]

When I add the widget, shows the error:

Never mind, found how to solve this....

[ecky]

Never mind, found how to solve this....

I'm having exactly the same problem. Would you mind sharing your solution?

[Dennis Kaczor]

I'm having exactly the same problem. Would you mind sharing your solution?

Sure can share this

['homeurl'].'/forums/''/'.$contentTypes[$tag

The above was what I was given to get this to work, but it gave me errors, so I changed this code to the following an it worked.

['homeurl'].'/forums/'.$contentTypes[$tag

It was that simple.

Dennis

[ecky]

Thanks Dennis. I had already tried this but still have an empty white widget on vb 4.0.2. Very nice mod if I could make this work. Uninstalled it for now.

[Doctor Death]

I too get an empty white widget box. Sure would like to see this work on my 4.0.2 install.

[alashram]

I think it doesn’t work with 4.0.2 :(

[nkumaran]

Thank You.

[is_it_me]

I too get an empty white widget box. Sure would like to see this work on my 4.0.2 install.

I think it doesn?t work with 4.0.2 :(

I have it installed and working on 4.02 - see bottom left of the homepage on the link in my signature.

[ecky]

I have it installed and working on 4.02 - see bottom left of the homepage on the link in my signature.

I stand corrected, it clearly does work on 402. It must be another mod conflicting and I also use the /forum/ subfolder. Would I have to clear the CMS cache every time I do a code edit to make this work?

[alashram]

I have it installed and working on 4.02 - see bottom left of the homepage on the link in my signature.

I should mention that I don?t assign tags on CMS, I only promote articles directly from the forums which are tagged already but on CMS (Front page) they are not tagged I think I have to tag them again, perhaps that?s the reason why it didn?t work for me. Can this widget also list tags from the forums?

[woffie]

Looks nice. It would be cool if it worked.

[kyle]

yes it is a great looking and usfull hack. any updates on this working?

[kyle]

anyopne know if theirs any other Tag Cloud hacks we could use for side bar?

[jpwilliams]

I'm having a problem with broken links in my tag cloud. The weird thing is, one link in the cloud works perfectly, but the rest are broken.

My site is www.blickees.com. If you click on the "donovan mcnabb" tag it goes to:

http://www.blickees.com/tags.php?tag=donovan+mcnabb

However every other tag goes to:

http://www.blickees.com/<tag>

Any ideas?

Fixed this problem by changing:

$url = $vbulletin->options['homeurl'].'/'.$contentTypes[$tag['contenttypeid']].urlencode($tag['tagtext']);

TO:

$url = $vbulletin->options['homeurl'].'/'.'tags.php?tag='.urlencode($tag['tagtext']);

I am getting the same error, where could be the problem? Can you help me resolve this? my vb version is 4.0.2

[Antiblank]

Works just fine out of the box on 4.0.2

Thanks for the work.

[Kingdombuilder]

Did not work on my 4.0.2 either, I use tags on the forum and on the CMS page. Noting showed up in the widget accept the date.

[Bob_R]

Will check this out later. Looks cool. :up:

[Bob_R]

What else needs to be done to ensure it shows on the forums and not on the CMS? Do you still have to create the widget as if it'll be a CMS widget?

Here's my error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /home/xxxxxxxxx/public_html/talkclassicrock.com/forums/packages/vbcms/widget/execphp.php(177) : eval()'d code on line 3

[Bob_R]

Listed below are the instructions given for this mod to work on your CMS page.

What must one do differently as per the instructions to get it as a forum sidebar?

Thanks!!

Installation

* Goto Admincp->vBullietin CMS->Widgets->Create New Widget
* Choose PHP Direct Execution as Widget's Type
* Place a Title. eg Upcoming Events. Keep it short as this is what will appear as title on your pages.
* Click Save
* Click Configure on the right of the new created widget.

* Click Save
* Goto Admincp->vBullietin CMS->Layout Manager
* Click Go on the Default Layout
* Add the Widget to your Layout
* Click Save
* Download the attached tagcloud.zip and extract it.
* Upload tagcloud.swf to root directory of your vbulletin install
* That's all !!

[Bob_R]

Is there an answer in our future?

When I go to put it in the forums block, if I even have to do that like I said the instructions don't clearly explain how to put it in your forums, the template reads block_html whereas to put in the CMS it's vbcms_widget_execphp_page

What must one do differently as per the instructions to get it as a forum sidebar?

Thanks

[Bob_R]

Uninstalled.

OK. I suspected I was right that it didn't work on the forum page and the silence has confirmed it.

I also checked a poster's site in this thread who was asking about getting it to work on the forum and he said he did. But, if you check his site it's on the CMS not the forum.

[Videx]

It does seem darn silly to have a list of forum tags that can't even go on the forum!

But I don't know that tags are even being updated, as I don't see any kind of scheduled task doing it. And I know my users aren't manually adding any tags anyway.

[NashChristian]

Great Mod! Thanks!

It is pulling content fine from both the Forums and CMS, I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.

Functionally, the mod is working fine for me. I do however have 3 SMALL display issues, which I'm hoping you can help me with (NGCoders). I checked your demo site (roboticsindia.com) and I noticed that your site doesn't have any of the 3 display problems, so I'm guessing you must have found a way to correct them on your site. Please share with us how you fixed them, so I can do the same.

First of all, my widget isn't in a fixed width column, so sometimes it will be wider than 330px, and other times it will be narrower than 330px (the same as on your site). To help compensate for this, I wrapped the <embed> tag with a <center> tag. That is the ONLY change I made to your original code.

Here are two screen shots of the widget on my site:

Narrower than 330px:

http://nashvillechristian.com/images/support/tag_cloud_narrow.jpg

Wider than 330px:

http://nashvillechristian.com/images/support/tag_cloud_wide.jpg

Here are my 3 display issues:

On the narrower width widget, the cloud does not stay in the CENTER of the widget, it favors the right side.
On the narrower width widget, the cloud text is overlapping the widget padding on the right side.
On the wider width widget, the tags are CLIPPING-OFF on the far right and left sides (see the right edge of "freedom").


DEMO (http://nashvillechristian.com)

Can you please share with us how you fixed these three issues on your site? I don't see any of the same problems on your site at all.

Thanks for the mod and thanks in advance for the help!
:) Jeff

[sKippah]

@NashChristian: U have to play around a bit with this part

$flashWidth = 330;
$flashHeight = 330;
$flashPath = 'tagcloud.swf';
$flashBackgroundColor = 'ffffff';
$tagCount = 30;
$tagMaxSize = 16;
$tagMinSize = 8;

I dont know anymore where to find the code on the original page. coz there was written what is what for.

As i was searching a bit i saw some of these flash Clouds with colored tags. is this possible here too in any way???

[Bob_R]

Great Mod! Thanks!

It is pulling content fine from both the Forums and CMS, I'm not sure what everyone is talking about.

Functionally, the mod is working fine for me.

Then please post the code that you used to make it work on the forum.

Correction. Forget it. I checked your site. I too have it on my forum. I'm speaking of putting it on the forum with animation. That cannot be done with this mod. For the animation it must be on the CMS

[ngcoders]

Try changing the following -



$flashWidth = '100%';
$flashHeight = '100%';

[NashChristian]

Try changing the following -



$flashWidth = '100%';
$flashHeight = '100%';



Hello,

Thanks for the feedback.

Is that the only change you made to the code listed in this mod, for your personal site: http://www.roboticsindia.com? Did you not need to use any code to CENTER it?

The biggest bummer I see with setting this to 100%, is when you have a wider screen resolution and a wider widget, the text in the cloud still stays tiny. Here are a couple screen shots:

http://nashvillechristian.com/images/support/tag_cloud_330px.jpg
(This is at a fixed 330 px width.)


http://nashvillechristian.com/images/support/tag_cloud_100.jpg
(This is at 100% width and height.)


Do you know of a way to make the cloud larger, without screwing up the display? Do you have access to the source .FLA file, where the height and width could be increased?

This is cool! It just needs some tweaking.

Thanks for your help.
:D Jeff

[NashChristian]

Alright, a little bit better, but still not perfect:

I figured out that you can force the height to a certain dimension and stretch the .swf, while leaving the width at 100% so not to break the widget padding.

Here's what I'm using now:

$flashWidth = '100%';
$flashHeight = '275px';

The only down side, is if you use a (narrow) low resolution monitor, it will still force the widget to be 275 px high. So if it is 150px wide, it is STILL going to be 275px high. (Which doesn't look too good.) But at least for the rest of the world with wider monitors, it looks a lot better than tiny text.

Hope that helps someone.

If ANYONE knows of a BETTER way to enlarge this without screwing up the display at different resolutions, please let me know.

Thanks!
Jeff

[hendri]

how to change the cloud to links that i want to put inside ? any idea ?

[chuckhodson]

Looks cool but does not work 4.0.3

[ged]

How can I change its charset? We're a Turkish forum and some characters don't show up correctly.

[caciocode]

Can this be added to the Forums section

[morrow]

Doesn't work on 4.0.6... at least not for my site.

[bandare]

Works fine for me but if I click on one of the tags that is linked to an article, I get a 404 error. If its a tag that relates to forum posts it works.... or blogs... just not articles

Not on articles...this is my finding too.
When using the tag in a search (ie google) found and works but not from the tag cloud.

[wombycat]

has anyone got this working in 4.0.7? I am just getting a blank widget. I have tags in blogs, forums and cms. what am i doing wrong?

has anyone got this working in 4.0.7? I am just getting a blank widget. I have tags in blogs, forums and cms. what am i doing wrong?

I'm on 4.0.2 but have a blank widget as well.

[sticky]

I'm on 4.0.2 but have a blank widget as well.

Ok, duh, didn't have the .swf uploaded.

Works, but for some reason it isn't centered.

[sticky]

Got it centered by using 100% for width but can't seem to get the proportions to look like they do in the screen shot.

[myco]

works fine in 4.08
Thank you

[gokhansancar]

Thanks, it is working just perfect

[caciocode]

Does this work in .8

[gokhansancar]

yes it is working, check it out on my website

I would love to see this mod as a fully mature product able to display arabic and french characters correctly.

If it is also SEO - friendly, (add the texts and links in the alt tags of the flash), I'd pay money for that.

[dealzoid]

as the title states, tag cloud in sidebar, animated, forum page, getting tags from threads.
I hope others find this useful.

You can add this as a forum block as seen on my website:
http://www.sporttouring.us

Go to forum block manager in admincp, add a forum block, paste the php code into the block, make sure php/direct execution is ticked, save. Upload the swf file to your vb root directory.

[SSG.D]

Works as is out of the box on 4.0.8 Thank you for your work. http://www.masterofwar.net/content.php All I had to do was adjust the size from 330 to 200

Just on 4.1.0 and up I get all the errors . But then again that's building a site from scratch with not much of any tags to draw from.. So I will give it another go on 4.1.2 after I build more content with tags.

Thanks again for your work and to the crew that made the swf file!

[SSG.D]

Update: The Number of tags you have associated with your forum is everything and can produce many types of errors. So if your building a new forum adjust your tag count, as your forum grows and tags grows you can always adjust it up. See tagCount below

$flashWidth = 200;
$flashHeight = 200;
$flashPath = 'tagcloud.swf';
$flashBackgroundColor = 'ffffff';
$tagCount = 8;
$tagMaxSize = 16;
$tagMinSize = 8;

This Mod works just fine with VB 4.1.1 and 4.1.2

Remember you may need to clear your CMS cache and Clear your Browser History after you make adjustments. This Prevents Hair Loss ;)

[WNYorker]

Thanks jpwilliams! Worked for me 2.

Was mache ich falsch?
The requested URL /tags.php was not found on this server.

Muß ich hier was ändern?
$contentTypes = array(2=>'tags.php?tag=',15=>'blog.php?tag=');

[Doctor Death]

Doesnt work for me on 4.1.7, wish it did.

[jack-d]

I had this working with no issues on 417 but after upgrading to 418 the cloud is off center to the right and rolling on to the center column. Any way to center this in the side widget.

Regards

[karlm]

Doesn't work with tags created on CMS only.. but works on 4.1.8 with forum made tags.

CMS tags simply go to the homepage with the tag appended.
i.e. www.mydomain.com/some-tag

whereas the forum made tags use...
www.mydomain.com/tags.php?tag=some-tag

[alhidaya]

Hello,

I reinstalled the tag cloud to update vbulletin 4.1.1.2 and it works now.

Thank you for this little product very nice and cute :)

It is installed but when I click on any word in the tag cloud, it does not direct me to the page.

[mrt12345]

Hi !!! it is working on the 4.1.12 but it is not coming out like in the photo, it is off set more to the right off the framing, just off a little bit but still looks nice . Could anybody give me a tip for centering .and squaring off the box or frame.

thanks nice mod
:up:

[cloferba]

Change
>options['homeurl'].'/'.$contentTypes[$tag['contenttypeid']].urlencode($tag['tagtext']);
$tagsHTML .= "<a href='$url' style='$size'>$text</a>";

to
$url = $vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/'.$contentTypes[$tag['contenttypeid']].urlencode($tag['tagtext']);
$tagsHTML .= "<a href='$url' style='$size'>$text</a>";

Using 4.2.1

Was doing fine until I got to this part:

? Goto Admincp->vBullietin CMS->Layout Manager
? Click Go on the Default Layout
? Add the Widget to your Layout
? Click Save

There is no default layout. What should we choose?

Thanks.

to:
$flashWidth = 250;
$flashHeight = 250;

[Poker Face]

Does Not Work with 4.2.1, Blank Widget on CMS, made all changes throughout this entire thread to no avail...

Marked as; Installed & Uninstalled

< Removed >

Too Bad, I Like It!

[K4GAP]

Everything works great on 4.2.1 but, the flash object is not centered in the widget. How can I correct this?

My widget is set at 300px wide.

I tried decreasing the object width but that did not help.

[theorigin]

Is there any way to add style inheritance to the widget? I'm running multiple styles, some dark, some light and I want it to match each one.

[MrD]

Hi,
is there an Option to make the widget work without flash?

[RichieBoy67]

Hi,
is there an Option to make the widget work without flash?You just want a widget with tags? I believe there is one already built in.

I definitely would not recommend installing any flash these days.

[MrD]

Hi,
no there are no Widget with Tags in a Cloud built in :)

[RichieBoy67]

You want a cms widget for version 4? Yes, there is a tag cloud widget. Go to Create a widget and at the very bottom you should see it.

[MrD]

The default one is not Animated :D

[RichieBoy67]

You really shouldn't use flash any more anyways.
