The new features

When you go to the admincp options for the thread tags, you are now presented with the option to display tag results in a forumdisplay format:

When that is selected (it is the default now), then your tag results will look much like your forum display as seen below:

This is exciting, because you now have a near infinite number of virtual forums with highly relevant threads within your forum. The SEO implications are enormous.


Two more options in the admincp are shown below.

As you can see in the dropdown, you now have the option to have a tag cloud above threads on forumdisplay.php, below threads on forumdisplay.php, or off. The same goes for the tags on showthread. The image below is an example of the tag cloud below threads on forumdisplay. Please note that these are tags just for that specific forum. So you now have forum by forum tag clouds :cool:

We now allow for you to have a "popular tag cloud" pagination. You set the number of pages to display :)

We have implemented a powerful "advanced" search for tags. This is especially exciting in that the search is very efficient. This was tested on a big board with over 400,000 theads. Each thread was autotagged yet searches took less than a second whereas normal searches bog down. In other words, if your members tag threads well, then you now have a much more efficient, human generated search engine.

You can search to see what tags a member has used, tagged threads with more than X replies, and all the other advanced search functionality. :cool:

Enjoy!

Lovely! I shall now attempt to install it. ;)
Is it possible to include tags on non vb pages - sorta like swickis

Also... I'm very close to purchasing VBSEO, would there be any expected conflicts?
If I use this, I'd like to make a little donation. Cheers...

Quite likely. I know people already have the tag cloud working with vBAdvanced modules (see my sig).

No conflicts :) Although we do need to add a new hook for the forumdisplay format. But we've included hooks and a plugin is already available so that the urls utilize vBSEO's url structures.

And I appreciate the donation offer, but that's ok. Telling other forum owners about this mod would be thank you enough :)

k... thanks... I'll add Zoints to the social networks swicki.

I cannot register for a token. My forum is on a subdomain of the main site and when I enter both URLs, I get this:
"The two URLs you have entered are not on the same domain."

Can you post the urls here please? Or PM them to me if need be. For now, just use the root url. It doesn't matter for the tags system.
