vbTags: A tagging plugin for vBulletin

[devguru]

I never wrote php code before until I wanted my vbulletin forum to have tagging support, At the time (March 2006), tagging plugins for vBulletin were virtually nonexistent. Hunting around the web, the only thing I could find was boardtracker.com with phpbb support and doesn’t come built into forum.

So I figured “it’s just a little php – I can do it.” Many, many hours later, I had a initial version to release into my forum last month with below core features:

* Tag any thread with an unlimited number of tags(use spaces to separate tags,ajax with no refresh page,autocomplete)
* List all the tags associated with an thread
* List all threads tagged with a given tag
* List top 5 tags associated with an thread in forumdisplay thread list
* Generate a popular tag cloud or simple tag list in any period (1 day, 1 week, ...)
* Generate a top tag contribution user cloud in any period (1 day, 1 week, ...)
...

Since that time, I’ve been too busy to consider contributing this feature to vbulletin community. To publish this feature as plugin , I’m aware of some homework to be done :
* transfer Chinese to english
* adminstration and configuration UI in control panel
* clear a number of bugs and annoyances to much simpler and beautiful code.

I like to know it's meaningful to support this plugin in the vBulletin community.

see screenshot (I am sorry it's Chinese)

I've actually considered writing a tagging solution myself - like what google mail has. I'm glad I didn't now - since you did I definately think it's a good idea, and I look foward to seeing what you do with it.

This would be awesome! Tag clouds are a fantastic way to gauge what people are thinking about and discussing.

Not to mention good for SEO and making things look pretty.

Can't wait for this to be completed. Drop me a PM and I'll test it for ya.

How much work is required in transfering it from Chinese to English? I can help with some of the subsequent work, but I'd have to find someone else to do that first step.

Yeah - I really want a tag cloud solution too.
