Forum Display Enhancements - Tag Cloud on Forumdisplay

What does this product do?
It displays a tag cloud of all tags used within actual forums on top of FORUMDISPLAY. If a user clicks on tags, only threads within actual forums are displayed then.

How to install?
Just import product. Done.

Optional: To also only show threads within actual forums once a user clicks on a tag on showthread, change template tagbit to

<a href="tags.php?$session[sessionurl]tag=$tag_url<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'showthread'">&forumid=$threadinfo[forumid]</if>">$tag</a>

How to uninstall?
Just deinstall product. Done.

Where do I find this to enable in vbulletin options? I installed it but only see the default "tagging options" function.

It is automatically enabled once you install it. There are no further options available in admincp now. All standard tag options made in admincp > settings > tags will be used to show this tag cloud. If there are tags used within actual forums, tag cloud will appear. If there are no tags used within actual forums, no tag box will be shown.

To disable this product, either click on admincp > manage products > disable this product, or you can also just delete this product.

If you installed it, you can click on Install. Of course do not forget to uninstall it once you do not use this product any more. This way jelsoft developers have a better view of how much interest ist out there for which modification.

Hi,

nice hack. But I think it would be better if you would integrate/combine it in/with the forum filter list:
.

Then you could combine the tag filter with the other options like prefix, date and so on. That would be a really effective and useful tool.

all the best,
Sacha

I am looking forward to make an option where to place this mod. I just need from you variables from FORUMDISPLAY template ($navbar, $footer, $similarthreads) where you want to put them. For easier coding, I would prefer that you name me some variables within FORUMDISPLAY where tag cloud is placed *after* these variables.
