How do I put the tag cloud on a custom page?

You don't want it collapsible and you don't want the title, Tag Cloud, to show? So, you only want the tags themselves? If so, then remove this from the template:

    <div class="collapse">
        <a class="collapse" id="collapse_forum_tags" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseimg_info_options}_40b.png" alt="" /></a>

        <h4 class="forumoptiontitle blockhead"><span class="optiontitle">{vb:rawphrase tag_cloud}</span></h4>
    </div>

That would remove it from everywhere, including the forums. I just want it removed from the new custom page. I'll explain a little more what's happening...

In the template for the custom page, the cloud is powered by this:

{vb:raw cloud_html}

That pulls in the cloud, which apparently uses multiple templates and code from the forum templates & files, which includes the collapse button and title. When I tried grabbing what I believe is the relevant code I actually want from these other sources, and paste them directly into my custom template, the cloud doesn't work at all. The code you posted above is one of the snippets I pasted into the custom template, but no go.

There must be a much easier way to figure this out, but vB4's new way of handling things has stymied me. I feel like a n00b all over again, LOL.

Then put a condition around that code that removes it for your custom page. Did you define THIS_SCRIPT on your page? If so:

<vb:if condition="THIS_SCRIPT != 'your_page'">
    <div class="collapse">
        <a class="collapse" id="collapse_forum_tags" href="{vb:raw relpath}#top"><img src="{vb:stylevar imgdir_button}/collapse{vb:raw vbcollapse.collapseimg_info_options}_40b.png" alt="" /></a>

        <h4 class="forumoptiontitle blockhead"><span class="optiontitle">{vb:rawphrase tag_cloud}</span></h4>
    </div>
</vb:if>

Or create a custom template to use instead of that one and reference it in your code.

Okay, that does the trick. Not sure why that didn't come to me in a dream or something. But maybe that's it - I need more sleep! lol

Uhm would it be possible to get the example codes of a custom page template and the according php file? I have to admit I don't get very far with the above, sorry. Thanks a lot for some examples.
