What does this product do?
It displays a tag cloud of all tags used within actual forums on top of FORUMDISPLAY.



How to install?
Just import product. Done.

How to uninstall?
Just deinstall product. If you did either template edit below, then undo the template edit.


Optional: To also only show threads within actual forums once a user clicks on a tag on showthread: (removed since not possible in 4.x).


How to change location of tag cloud box?

1) Find this code from manage plugins > plugin forumdisplay_start (Forum Tags)

PHP Code:

    $find = '<div id="above_threadlist" class="above_threadlist">';
    $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY'] = str_replace($find,$cloud_html.$find,$vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMDISPLAY']); 


and replace with this code:

PHP Code:

    vB_Template::preRegister('FORUMDISPLAY', array('cloud_html' => $cloud_html)); 


2) Put {vb:raw cloud_html} in FORUMDISPLAY where you want to show tag cloud.

I didn't think you were being difficult, I was just saying I can't always remember a user's experience.

I do find that issue to be weird. I hope you can figure it out.

This product shows the tag cloud only on Forumdisplay. You want to show the tag cloud on Forumhome. There may be other products available to do that. This product only shows the tag cloud on Forumdisplay.
