Demo:

http://network.zoints.com/tags

If you choose to send tags to Zoints (optional) you can see what we do with them and how we send you traffic and nice inbound links: http://zoints.com

A great article on the importance of tagging can be read here.

The Zoints Thread Tags System will improve forum side search, SEO, and traffic for forums that choose to utilize it. And in my opinion, it's just plain cool

When a member creates a new thread, they can now input a series of "tags". Tags are simply keywords that describe the thread.



If you then go to your-forum.com/tags you will be presented with what is called a "tag cloud". The more times a tag is used, the larger the text grows. As you can see, the tags are also searchable.



Clicking on one of the tags in the cloud then lists all of the threads that are tagged with that particular keyword. The default option lists tags in a forumdisplay format. There is an option in the admincp to use a simple format.



Clicking on the thread title of one of the above threads then takes you to the thread. If you have the option on, the tags the thread are tagged with are also listed above the thread. Clicking one of those tags takes you to all the threads on the forum tagged with the same tag. Search engine spiders are going to have a field day with this



The thread starter and moderation staff have a slightly different view which allows for administration of tags:



The forum's tags are also searchable via the search dropdown. The advanced search option allows for a variety of additional criteria to be seached for. Your members create a whole new (and highly efficient) forum search engine!



If you have the option on in the admincp and register your forum, once every hour, your tagged threads in publically viewable forums are linked via the corresponding interest tag on the Zoints Forum Network. For example, if you go to http://zoints.com/tag/children you will see what is pictured below. Not only is this a great relevant inbound link for SEO, but you will get traffic from Zoints direct to these threads!

Another example of this in action: http://zoints.com/tag/music




The admincp options

















Official support for this modification will be at http://network.zoints.com in this forum.

I'm sorry if this has already been answered. I have been searching for the answer with no luck.

When creating a new thread and I input tags to the tag field... the tags are not saved for some reason. Does anyone have this problem? I think it's a bit frustrating, since other members do tag their threads, but the tags are not saved when creating a new thread.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Does anyone know how I can display the "popular tags" in a cloud format?

IE: I want to display my tags as a cloud with the different sizes etc. on my forumdisplay and showthread pages..

similar to how they come up on http://www.mysite.com/tags/

has anyone been able to do this?

ok, anyone wishing to do this, I have hacked it, at least for the forumdisplay cloud:

Step 1:
Go to: AdminCP >> Plugins & Products >> Plugin Manager

Then edit this plugin: Zoints Thread Tags (Forum display)

Find:
Code:
		foreach ($tags as $tag => $tagcount)
		{
			$zointstag_link = str_replace(' ', '-', $tag);

			eval('$tagcloudbits .= "' . fetch_template('zointstags_forumdisplay_tagbit') . '";');
			$firsttag = false;
		}
Replace with:
Code:
		foreach ($tags as $tag => $tagcount)
		{
			$size = 50 + round(($tagcount-$min) / $max * 100);

			$zointstag_link = str_replace(' ', '-', $tag);

			eval('$tagcloudbits .= "' . fetch_template('zointstags_forumdisplay_tagbit') . '";');
			$firsttag = false;
		}

Also, you can replace the "50" in:
Code:
$size = 50 + round(($tagcount-$min) / $max * 100);
to make the clouded tags smaller or larger


Step 2:
Go to: AdminCP >> Style Manager >> Edit Templates

Customize this template: zointstags_forumdisplay_tagbit

Find:
Code:
<a href="$tagsurl/$zointstag_link/" rel="tag">$tag</a>
Replace with:
Code:
<a href="$tagsurl/$zointstag_link/" rel="tag" style="font-size: $size%">$tag</a>

And that's it.. you're done!

Happy hacking.

R.

Thanks a lot for sharing that Remulon. I am on the 3.6x version myself so I might check that out.

(BTW, if anyone above still needs support, please just reiterate your need for it and either I or another Zoints guy will help you.)

I am looking to make some changes:

1. I'd like to remove the thread author name from appearing under the headline
2. I'd like to change the header of the third column to read "Posted" instead of "Last Post"
3. I'd like to display the thread author and thread creation date and time instead of the last post date and time and last post author.

Example: http://gridironfans.com/forums/tags/topstory/


What needs to be changed in /forums/tags/index.php to make this happen?

I have a question. Zoints has a character replacement system but I don't want to character replacements. I want to use turkish character in tags.

just like this thread's tags

http://www.rehberim.net/forum/temel-...ilmalidir.html

but when I click the tag, special characters disappear.

kan ekeri dtnde neler yaplmaldr

actually, thera are some character in url. >

http://www.rehberim.net/forum/tags/i...C4%B1d%C4%B1r/


how can I replace the characters with the turkish ones,

%C5%9Fekeri to şekeri.... no sekeri


Waiting for your answer.
