Question #3

Can we go into old threads after installing this and add tags to them, having them count towards the total amount in relation to the tag cloud?

I would imagine this is yes as I cannot believe that anyone just starting out a board would not already have threads on there forums with this installed.

Basically this is a "does this affect only new threads from the date/time of installation" or can we add tags to old threads.

Hi Patrick,

Tag clouds on forumhome, based on our versions, can only be done with a beta. As for the show thread template, are you speaking about having the forum's tag cloud (ie all popular tags) displayed on the thread? I would suppose it's possible but I don't believe that's an option out of the box.

As for a total list of tags, I would imagine it exists somewhere within your database but it's not something easily found through the product. It is a very needed thing though and one I would hope our engineers could do for a later release.

I have no idea about the RSS feed but again with your problem I would think the index.php file in the tags folder (search icon) and the viewtag template to be the only two sources. I am not a coder but I spent about an hour today trying to play around with it. I was able to remove the post icons column by editing the index.php file so I would have to imagine that it is that file where something is missing and it is not properly calling for the post icons. But... much of that code for post icons seems to be fairly common so I am not exactly sure as to what is the holdup.

(I know, not much help, but I'll keeping playing around with it.)

Oh certainly. You can go back into any thread, no matter how old it is, and tag it for it to display in the tags system and the other threads. You can also use the automatic thread tagger for old threads (although those tags won't be sent to zoints.com, if you use that feature.)

If they can be put on the Showthread template, they should be able to go on FORUMHOME.

All we're talking about is a box with some code and data in it, are we not? So without me being extremely ignorant of the subject, how is it any different than me putting my What's Going On Box on a different Template/location of my forum and having it display in a different location/or multiple locations.

I imagine this can be done, very similar to putting a shoutbox or anything else on whatever template you want.

If it can be done, we'll probably be using this.

---------------------------------

If you don't have total list, you do offer inline moderation it appears where if someone is using vulgar/inappropriate tags we can delete them/ban user I'd imagine from the pictures above.

I am sure you could, it would just need some original coding as that doesn't come right out of the box with it. Just about anything can be done with the right coding.

As for editing, yeah you can remove right from the cloud/forum/thread/wherever. With the AJAX add/delete, you can simply click X and the tag goes away.

That sounds great. It looks like I'll have a coder look at how to move the tag cloud around, and we'll test out your Zoints Tags.

I really don't see the advantage that vBulletins core one has over yours, even someone at vb.com, a customer, not employee, said that it's missing some key features.

I'd suggest to your engineers an auto-import tags if using the RSS Importer Feed Manager system, so that for example if the system was auto posting other peoples blogs, or threads, it would auto import the tags from that blog or thread.

can we see the most add tagword member. if yes. How? i will give gift the most have tagwords of members.

apologise for my english. Waiting your answer.Thank you.

We do have an automatic tag feature which you can click to generate tags on all tagless threads (the system also uses stopwords) but I am not for sure if I follow your suggestion. I don't personally use much with RSS feeds on my forums, are you saying that tags can sometimes be included with those articles/content that could be then be imported as tags on the forums?

(I apologize if I am totally missing the point. I've been to two grocery stores today, done a ton of errands and just came back from the movies so I am a bit worn out.)

Hi jim. With the tag cloud, which would be at yourforum.com/forums/tags/ the biggest words are the most popular tags. So the largest font size you see there indicates that it is the most popular tag of all of your tags.
