Tag Cloud · **Released**: 03-21-2013

I'm working with vBulletin 3.8.7 PL3 and would like to make a custom Tag Cloud.

Right now, in vB's default mode, it's pulling the most-frequently used keyword tags from my forum threads and assembling them into the Tag Cloud.

I currently have my forums set up to cover (6) different states and the Tag Cloud pulls from those (6). However, I'd like to have it pull from EACH STATE vs. ALL SIX and then have state-specific tag clouds put on certain pages of my site.

I'm a beginner, so I don't know what code to change. So...I've copied all of the TAG TEMPLATES below. Can someone help me to determine what parts of the code to change/modify? I'm thinking that I COPY the existing templates, add a suffix to each template file name prior to saving, and then change the code accordingly. I'm thinking that I would wind up with (6) separate sets of customized templates, as that seems the easiest way to do it? I need to keep it as simple as possible.

If you could highlight the code and explain what I need to do, that would be great!

Templates/code is as follows:

TAGBIT

<a href="tags.php?$session[sessionurl]tag=$tag_url">$tag</a>

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