It's easy (and we're here to help of you have problems). And all reports say it is fine with 3.6.4.

Yes, we are working on a new version as I type this. I don't have a specific ETA (because I am very bad at them :D )

Thanks!

DchapMan, this modification definetly rocks, something I had been looking on for since ages. :)

Few suggestions and problems:
1. Automatic Tag Generator Scipt: zointstags.php
StopWords Options
unable to add numeric values like 1, 2, 3 to this list.

If there are some tags with value 1, 2, 3 search results are not displayed ?

2. A possible to way to fetch random tags from database everytime users browse tags maincloud or forumdisplay pages. (another better option for SEO)

3. Any Category (without any postings) which holds a group of forums does not shows any tags. (I will recommend adding tags to this place as well)

4. How can i add an inlinemod to search results ?

5. I need to edit some results from search results, (remove last post columns)

6. Who is Online (WOL) display

Tags are a good idea HOWEVER just 1 problem. Many members post without considering what's best for search engines. Photopost has a similar feature, but very few members will actually take time to place proper tags.

You can use stop keywords to ignore vague/common list of tags
however, my personal experience with photopost keywords is worst, it takes into consideration even description
I have reported this over photopost forums but seems no luck fixing the same yet !

First of all thanks for this great work!

I have the same trouble with kingpin6. VBseo runnin at my site... And im getting blank white page when i enable zoints thread tags... How do i fix it?

thanks...

Thats why I want my forums tags to be moderator only. I would also like to nominate trusted member voulenteers with 'tagging permission' - to go tagging older threads.. My forum is a technical / tips forum - so some control is a good idea lest the inexperienced newbies ruin things...

I have an idea for a feature (please)

"Top 10 tag" lists / or moderator defined tag lists (per forum)

These could be a list defined by each individual forms moderators or site admin.. acting like a 'please look here first' area, a 'best of' area or a 'get a feel for the vibe of this forums direction' area.

It would be cool if the list was clearly prominent, proudly displayed. Perhaps as a SIDE BAR.

This would help moderators provide instant information resources that they feel their forum visitors might need...or perhaps should have a look at before posting..

Regular tag clouds and regular searching would of course also be possible, as usual..

We're working on a new build and I thought I would share a screenshot for those of you who were having issues with special characters. We still have a lot of work to do, but are making progress:

GREAT plugin, but could get some additional features. :)
Some ideas, maybe not all of them thought till end.

1)

Right now I show 100 tags per page. I show only one page, with A till Z, because even astro and zero can belong together in seo aspects.

These are rather too less than too many in the main tags index found in the navbar.

I would prefer to have only 30 in special forums, but 300 in the main index, just a different number, because of the design, 100 tags look like too many in subforums.

2) size of tag words.

In the main tag index the size is different depending on how often a tag is used. This looks great !

But in special forums they have all the same size. It would be perfect to have different sizes optionally even on top of threads, but at least in special forums. This might be less important than 1).

3) Character replacement, known bug and feature request.

This doesn?t work if I add new tags to an existing thread manually. One special German letter is transformed to four or five very special "nonsense letters".

In other cases it works - ? becomes ae like wanted, when I automatically create tags out of old threads, then it works, and also when I create new threads and add tags before sending/saving, then it works, too.

I guess this the best solution to have URLs.

But if this is possible, with unicode or however you coders do it, it would be perfect to really use it only as URL replacement function, and still to show the native letters in tags in the forums.

In German it?s not a very big issue, just a design question, because German has only few extra letters and people are used to see them like ae or oe in URLs, (Still, ? and ? look much better for German eyes in forums), but in French or even in Russian it becomes possibly rather unreadable, even though I already saw Russian in Latin letters. :-)
