is it display all the tag used in whole forum at forumdisplay OR display all tag used in CURRENT Forum at forumdisplay?

or

It displays all tags used in actual visiting forum and all subforums.

It does not display tags used in other forums but not used in actual visiting forum or subforums.

Theres a bug with this I believe. I get a database error when I click on a private forum of mine. Has to do with your query and where clause where ur saing visible = 1

I installed it on 3.8.x.

And it works fine.

Thanks.

No, Indeed I tried this to vB4 Beta4, it only eval() error. My conclusion is that this must be recoded as well. Are you tested in vB4?

[ThorstenA]

You need to port this application to vb4, it is not compatible to vb4.

The way the template engine works has changed, therefore this product has to be rewritten.

Anybody going to do this for 4.0?

IT IS NEEDED!

Great mod.
