Doesn't work with tags created on CMS only.. but works on 4.1.8 with forum made tags.

CMS tags simply go to the homepage with the tag appended.
i.e. www.mydomain.com/some-tag

whereas the forum made tags use...
www.mydomain.com/tags.php?tag=some-tag

Same error here in CMS

I just installed the tag cloud as per the instructions and uploaded to my root directory but am getting the following 404 not found error when i click on one of the tags??

-------------------------
Not Found

The requested URL /homicide+squad was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
--------------------------

Can anyone help me fix this error?

The forum tag cloud works fine.

Many Thanks

I have a problem, my vbulletin is v.4.1.1.0

[alhidaya]

Hello,

I reinstalled the tag cloud to update vbulletin 4.1.1.2 and it works now.

Thank you for this little product very nice and cute

It is installed but when I click on any word in the tag cloud, it does not direct me to the page.

Hi !!! it is working on the 4.1.12 but it is not coming out like in the photo, it is off set more to the right off the framing, just off a little bit but still looks nice . Could anybody give me a tip for centering .and squaring off the box or frame.

thanks nice mod

Change

>options['homeurl'].'/'.$contentTypes[$tag['contenttypeid']].urlencode($tag['tagtext']);
    $tagsHTML .= "<a href='$url' style='$size'>$text</a>";

to

    $url = $vbulletin->options['bburl'].'/'.$contentTypes[$tag['contenttypeid']].urlencode($tag['tagtext']);
    $tagsHTML .= "<a href='$url' style='$size'>$text</a>";

Gutted, this no longer works for me on 4.2
