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




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.



Enjoy!
