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.


Details

I don't suppose you have tags with apostrophes in them? Yesterday I discovered a bug in this when that happens and I should hopefully post a fix for it today.

Probably just add at the top of the plugin "Forum Tags" at hook location forumdisplay_start:

PHP Code:

$vbulletin->options['tagcloud_tags'] = 10;

I've updated this to version 0.5:
- Fixed problem with tags having single apostophes in them.
- Created a new template to display the tag cloud at the top of forumdisplay (looks the same as bottom templates and will collapse).
- Fixed issue where css is stored as a file.

This update is only for those running 4.0.1 .

Hey Lynne, How hard do you think it would be to convert this to show this on forum home?

Edit I made my own version from a older mod.

I was gonna say, I think there was one before and this one was pretty easy to convert so I would guess any other would also be pretty easy to convert.

Lynne, is there a way to do this for a widget in CMS?

I would guess so. You can make php widgets, so I would guess you could take this code and make a php widget with it.
