BoardTracker Advanced Topic Tags System - v2!

BoardTracker Topic Tags Mod - ***version 2***

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.

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 or any site with this simple bit of html or just copy paste the following onto any vb page and change the params to suit..

<!-- Tag Cloud -->
<table class="tborder" cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="$stylevar[cellspacing]" border="0" width="100%" align="center">
<tr>
<td class="tcat">$vbphrase[bt_tag_cloud]</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="alt1" align="center">
<script type="text/javascript" language=Javascript src="http://www.boardtracker.com/cloud/js/?board={$vbulletin->options['bt_tag_boardid']}&items=20&smallsize=6&bigsize=20&hot=e01010&cold=4090a0&days=90&linktype={$vbulletin->options['bt_tag_link_type']}"></script>
</td>
</tr>
</table>
<!-- End Tag Cloud -->

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.

There is also a vb3.6 version.

Isn't it possible for the search engines to consider that keyword harvesting?

Not sure what you mean by keyword harvesting but search engines should have no problems with tagging which is extremely popular these days and serves a very useful purpose. Wikipedia has some good info about tagging and folksonomies.

Also bear in mind that Yahoo owns several of the biggest/most popular tag related services around such as flickr and del.icio.us so they are very much in favour of tagging content.

Do you mean in the tag links that appear on the thread after posting? Something like this: http://www.boardtracker.com/tag/sometag/123 ?

If so then the 123 should be your boardid on boardtracker which you entered in the vboptions section. You can leave it blank which would mean the tag search will show tag results from all boards in boardtracker. If you want to only show results from your board(s) then you have to submit your board to boardtracker to get a boardid.

If thats not what you meant then let me know your board url so I can have a look..

When posting a thread you can leave the tags box empty if you don't want to tag it and then no tags will appear on the thread itself. You can always tag the thread later anyway through boardtracker.
