Custom Tag Cloud in vbAdvanced, Forum Home & Related Pages
Developer Last Online: Apr 2012
Download the latest version that supports social groups clouds here: 2.5 Version (VB 3.8 required)
Forum VBA Custom Tag Cloud This mod adds 6 features to VB?s tag cloud: 1. It allows you to display the tag cloud in forum related pages in any location you want. You can display tag clouds in forumhome, forumdisplay, and showthread, and hook it to any $template_hook or HTML comment. Instead of installing 3 different mods to accomplish this, you can install this mod to do all 3. Plus you can specify if you want to not display the tag cloud in certain pages. 2. It allows you to show the tag cloud in your site?s home page in any location you want if you have vbAdvanced installed (optional). 3. When viewing forumdisplay or showthread (pages listing threads or posts), you can specify custom styles for tags that belong to the active forum or thread being viewed so that users will know which tags are relevant to that forum or thread. 4. It allows you to specify preferred tags that you want to have custom styles so that they will be noticed more. For example, if your site just started a forum about cars with tags like ?Lexus? ?Infinity?, you can specify those tags as preferred to draw attention to the new forum. 5. The tag cloud resides in a collapsible box and has a legend for the custom styles. 6. When viewing a thread (in showthread), this mod will move the thread?s tag box below the tag cloud. The tag box and tag cloud are different: the tag box shows tags specific to its thread, whereas the tag cloud shows tags from all threads. Currently, the tag box is shown at the very bottom of the thread, which can be easily ignored by readers. Moving it next to the tag cloud will make the tag box more visible. Installation 1. Download the product xml file. Go to Manage Products > Add/Import Product, upload that xml file, set ?allow overwrite? to yes, and click Import. 2. Go to VB Options > Forum VBA Tag Clouds to set the locations of the tag cloud (default is below the navbar) and custom tag styles. 3. Optional: to display the tag cloud in vbAdvanced, go to VBA CMPS > Default Settings > Main Options > add to ?Portal Output Global Variables?: Quote:
Update: Reimport the new product xml file and allow overwrite. See the 2nd post for a screenshot and template hook selection tips. Versions: Code:
1.0.0/ 1.0.1 Initial Release. 2.0.0 New Features: Auto templating ? allows setting the location of the tag cloud anywhere on the page.

How did you do it? I searched for forumhome and navbar. Still not able to figure it out. Usually these changes are not that hard but I am stumped. Thanks, Far |

Glad you like this mod It's very customizable through its options page in VB Options by using CSS properties to style the forum & preferred tags.

In VBA CMPS, you need to add "tag_cloud" to the “Portal Output Global Variables" setting. I don't have VBA Dynamics, but I think you would need to do the same for that product. If you can't find the location of the setting, you should post in the vbadvanced.com forums or ask Brian (site owner) what's the equivalent of “Portal Output Global Variables" in VBA Dynamics.

This mod doesn't modify the navbar. However, this mod allows you to hook the tag cloud to any location that you want. Did you change the hook location for any pages in the custom tag cloud settings? If you did, change the hook location back to $navbar for all pages and make sure you read the 2nd post for hook selection tips. I don't have VB Blog so I can't verify your problem.
