you see, Processing thread in forum 113 Total records: 0

bashy, you tag nothing, probably you have to change the tag condition:

PHP Code:

$config['replycount'] = 10; // auto tag condition is replycount>10
$config['views'] = 300; 


to

PHP Code:

$config['replycount'] = 0; // auto tag condition is replycount>10
$config['views'] = 0; 


and I figure it out your forums do not call the hook : showthread_complete

so the code "Show tags in showthread(vbTags) " do not run in this forum and the tag list doesnot show up .

[bashy]

Yeah m8 i did notice that

Is there a work around for the Show tags in showthreads?

[bashy]

#!/usr/bin/php Database Connected successfully ==================================== Now processing auto tags ==================================== Processing thread in forum 113 Total records: 0 . Done! Process completed!

Still not worked an i have a feeling i know why, Some hacks dont work with the GARS system and this is what the tutorials system is, I can manually add the tags to the posts in that section and any other section but for some reason the auto side of it is not playing ball, i have going to try it in another setion (none GARS) brb

EDIT: nope still didnt work

I forget to mention tableprefix, do you have a tableprefix. in that case ,you have to $config['tableprefix'], anyway i will update the tools to use the vbb configure lately.

You may have already noticed a limitation to tagging in del.icio.us ,same as in vbTags: spaces aren?t allowed. This leads to three different strategies for multi-word tags:

1. underscore - put an underscore where the space would be. Using this example, should have used ?President_Bush? as tag.
2. mashup - remove the spaces altogether. Using this example, should have used ?PresidentBush?.
3. hyphen - put a hyphen where the space would be. This is the one for ?President-Bush?.

I have no idea how to support technorati multi-word tags in this moment, it probably causes the "space separated" to "comma separated" tag

[Torqued]

It looks like %20 is a valid encoded replacement for the space:
