I still really don't get the whole hook location system. Can you give me an example of how to set a new hook up in a theme and attach this MOD to it?

you can find a hook in any template like -> $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos5]

I found a hook, and tried to enter it as an option. But then it wouldn't come up at all.

Make sure you read the 2nd post for hook selection tips & instructions. The first note says:

"You can find and place hooks in adv_portal, FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY, & SHOWTHREAD templates. The hook must be $navbar, $template_hook, or a HTML comment (ie: $template_hook[place] or <!-- comment -->)."

This means that you go the VB Styles > Edit Templates > then review either the adv_portal (for vbAdvanced), FORUMHOME, FORUMDISPLAY (for pages listing threads), or SHOWTHREAD (for pages listing posts) for hooks that you can use.

As stated, the hook must be $navbar or something that starts with $template_hook or an html comment (which starts with <!-- and ends -->). Examples that were recently posted were: $template_hook[forumhome_wgo_pos5] and <!-- what's going on box --> These are FORUMHOME hooks so they won't work in the other pages (you must select different hooks for them).

The 2nd post give reasons to why a certain hook may not work (ie: if it occurs between <if> and </if> tags that evaluates to false). Hope these examples help.... don't know how else to clarify.

You can change the tag colors in VB Options > Custom Tag Clouds settings page using CSS styles syntax. For further help, you need to click "Marked as Installed" on this page.

Is this MOD working on vBulletin v3.8.0?

Yup, workin' fine without any problems ;)

Does this work with 3.7.4PL1? Cuz one of my MODs is apparently giving my members token errors, and this is one of them. I'm going to disable it and hope for an update for now.

Don't know how this mod is giving token errors, 'cause it uses VB's built-in tag cloud function to build the tag cloud (in other words, this mod calls a function that's written by VB). Also, I haven't received any other reports of token errors due to this mod.

NEW FEATURES: Social Group Tag Cloud (VB 3.8.0 or higher required)

1. A tag cloud for social group categories can be displayed anywhere in the site homepage (vbAdvanced) or forum homepage (forumhome). Similar to the forum tag cloud, the social group cloud resides in a collapsible box and the links can be custom styled to draw focus to specific groups (ie: if you have a new group that you want to promote).

2. Both the forum tag cloud and social group cloud can now be positioned in the left, right, or center blocks (download the VBA xml files). In earlier versions, the tag cloud could only be hooked to the adv_portal template.
