BoardTracker Thread Tags Mod - ***version 2.1***

This easy to install mod adds a complete thread tagging and tag search system to your board. Tags are displayed with the thread, similar to the tagging and tag search often used on blogs, and link to a tag search system on your board which is powered by boardtracker. (meaning no search load on your servers!)

Tag search and tag results are fully integrated with your board, similar to our other board search mods.

New in version 2.1:

Locally cached tagclouds updated by vb cron
Full css customization of tagclouds on any vb page
Restrict tagging to certain usergroups
Disallow tagging in specific forums
Tag posting uses the standard vb 'censorwords' to block posting of innappropriate words
Tag search uses the standard search 'badwords' list


Advanced tag search options include:

Search tags by user
Search tags by forum and related forums
Search by boardtracker category
Search tags on all boards in boardtracker (optional)
Restrict search by date range
Tag cloud and 'related tags' cloud on search results - fully customizable!
Mod_rewrite option for tag links
RSS feed for tag searches
Search tags on a single or multiple specific boards you define thereby allowing you to create traffic trading rings with other board owners or just within your own boards if you have more than one.
Many options to play with the in admin panel!

If your board is not yet indexed by BoardTracker, make sure to submit it!

Tags created are indexed and searchable on boardtracker search engine also and can appear in various boardtracker tag clouds bringing you more traffic!

Once you have the mod installed and your users have started tagging, you will be able to add tag clouds to any page on your board - just copy/paste the following onto any vb page..

Code:
<!-- Tag Cloud -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
        <td class="tcat">$vbphrase[bt_tag_cloud]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
        <td class="alt1" align="center">
        {$bt_cloud}
        </td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- End Tag Cloud -->

Or even easier, just paste the following line onto any vb page and wrap it in whatever html you like..
Code:
{$bt_cloud}

You can also add your tag cloud to any site with this simple bit of html/js.

You can see an example of the tag search on our demo forums (using tag results from another board just for example since there are no real threads/tags there)

Also see here the advanced tag search demo.

For support you can post here or on boardtracker support forums.

To upgrade from the last version just install the product in the usual way, upload the files and then go through the template edits as described in the included README file. There are additional template edits and also modified (simplified) edits to the previous versions template edits so you should remove the old ones and add these although the old ones will still work as long as the additional new edits are also done.

Make sure to activate the 'BT Tag Cloud Cache' sheduled task once everything else is done (scripts uploaded etc) - requires cURL which most people have already but if you dont have then just use the standard html/js version of the tagclouds and leave the scheduled task inactive.

Also there is a vb3.5 version here.



updates:
v2.1.3 - fix to forum/usergroup restriction process - reinstall the product file to upgrade.
v2.1.2 - fix to bt_cloud.php cron script so to upgrade you only need to upload that file to the vb cron directory.
v2.1.1 - minor fix to the font-size setting in tags_default.css so to upgrade you only need to upload that file.
v2.1 - added locally cached tag clouds with cron, usergroup and forum restrictions, censorwords filters, full css customization for tag clouds on any page.

v2.0.6 - fixed problem affecting tags on quickedit
v2.0.5 - added missing space in tag link
v2.0.4 - made search options link more clear and other small stuff
v2.0.2 - small fix in bt_topic_tags template for forum list
v2.0.1 - fixed small bug in bt_topic_tags template

We're currently spidering and indexing boards for the new version to be launched soon so you may already see our spider in your server logs. If not then it will be added soon after launch.

We are working on not only a brand free version, but one that will also make you money. Not sure when exactly it will be ready but not too long I hope.

I am also interested in an import script. If one could be provided, I would probably switch over to Boardtracker rather than using Zoints on both forums.

New version just uploaded - found a small error in the cloud caching script (bt_cloud.php) so to upgrade just upload that file again to the /includes/cron directory. No other changes in this version so the installer doesn't need to be run.

I have installed this and it works marvelously for me .... except one major bummer ...


I am the only one to see the the input field where to enter tags ...

I thought since i see it everything works.
Not ... none of my users could see the tag entry fields and I had the setting to mandatory and then went on a 4 day holiday.

So noone could post a thread since I demanded tags to be entered but they had nowhere to enter them .....


PLZ Help....

What options did you set in the admin panel? Did you limit to specifc usergroups or forums?

*edit*
I just registered to your board and I do see the tags entry box - did you change anything since your post above?

**EDIT**

And I haven't gotten a board id from you yet either ...

I regged my board like mid last week ...

Just uploaded a new version which fixes a bug affecting tagging in forums which are listed as excluded in the admin panel. It should fix the problem you have.

We're soon to release a new version of BT so your board will be added to that.
