Global Tag Cloud in Side Bar or Anywhere · **Released**: 04-27-2008

What this plugin does

This plugin lets you call the tag cloud on any page. We wanted a tag cloud in a side column on our forum, and also the freedom to call it from within any template.

Live Demo

You can view the plugin in action on AdminFusion

Installation Instructions

1. Login in to the AdminCP -> Plugins and Products -> Manage Products
2. Click the Add/Import Product link at the bottom of the page and browse to the plugin's xml file.
3. Add the following variable where ever you want the tag cloud to appear:

Code:

$vbcloud

4. If you want to display just the cloud (i.e. without the category) open up the tag_cloud_search template and replace everything with the code below:

Code:

 
<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != tags">
$cloud[links]
<else />
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
	<td class="tcat">
		<div class="smallfont" style="float:$stylevar[right]"><phrase 1="$cloud[count]">$vbphrase[these_are_the_x_most_used_thread_tags]</phrase></div>
		$vbphrase[tag_cloud]
	</td>
</tr>
<tr>
	<td class="alt1" style="text-align:justify">$cloud[links]</td>
</tr>
</table>
</if>

Version Information:
1.01 -- Updated to make compatible with Vbulletin Blog
1.02 -- Script rewrite. Fixed time stamp issue, blog issue and other minor problems.
1.03
Now returns the most popular tags as opposed to the most searched for tags.
Some minor optimizations made.
Instructions revised (uses tag_cloud_box template instead of tag_cloud_search)

There are two things I would like to know how to do:

1. How do I remove this:

These are the 70 most used thread tags

2. How do I limit the amount of tags shown in the tag cloud

Thank you

One Extra thing, I have read that $vbcloud doesnt work, well it does on my board somehow

Hi! What side bar you use? And will it work with vBadvanced?

GlamRockTalk · #**110** 01-31-2009, 02:55 AM

Step 4 in the instructions (to remove the 'category' and just display the tags) isn't working for me. Any suggestions?

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
