This works great!

the only problem is that I quickly found out that some of my users have been putting porn in all the tags, so I immediately had to turn the whole tag system off

Fixed with this...

Find in xml for product

      case 3: $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace('<!-- what\'s going on box -->', '<!-- end what\'s going on box -->'.$vbulletin->templatecache['tag_cloud_forum_home'], $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); break;
      case 4: $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace('<!-- end what\'s going on box -->', '<!-- end what\'s going on box -->'.$vbulletin->templatecache['tag_cloud_forum_home'], $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); break;

Replace with this...

      case 3: $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace('<!-- tag cloud below forums -->', '<!-- tag cloud below forums -->'.$vbulletin->templatecache['tag_cloud_forum_home'], $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); break;
      case 4: $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME'] = str_replace('<!-- tag cloud below going on box -->', '<!-- tag cloud below going on box -->'.$vbulletin->templatecache['tag_cloud_forum_home'], $vbulletin->templatecache['FORUMHOME']); break;

Upload product xml and overwrite



Now edit FORUMHOME template and find this....

<!-- /main -->

<br />

and replace with this....

<br />
<!-- /main -->

<!-- tag cloud below forums -->

and also find in same template....

<!-- end what's going on box -->

and add below that this...

<!-- tag cloud below going on box -->

I could have taken it further and done the same for the first two settings, but I will leave that up to the owner of this code.

The post right above the one you just made, fixes this problem you described.

I dont think the problem has anything to do with the random picture hack but I didnt try to prove it as I use that hack also.

The only way I could make it work properly was to edit the templates, as the original xml called for pre-existing comments in the templates, and it wouldnt work doing it that way (as far as I could find out)

And then editing the xml to seek the comments added into the templates.

But I assure you that it will fix the problem I, you, and others, had.

[pericolosogr]

Thanx a lot then

I think i'll just uninstal, edit the xml file and reinstall the fixed one!

I would like to integrate this into a vBadvanced CMPS module. Does anyone have any idea how I can do this please? Thanks.

Can this be at the bottom of the forum home? If so I would use it if not yet I am waiting.

[Chadi]

Is there a way to place it in a custom location? I wish to add it on the right side column, forum home.

Just Installed. Works a dream.
Would like to assign tag number, at the moment we have 70 tags,... looked thru code could not see where to set this lower, apart from remove one line of tags.

Any help appreciated.

you can control the number of tags in your normal vB settings. This add on uses a hook to place the normal tag cloud on the start page so all tag-settings also apply for the cloud that this add-on creates.
