Filters Include Tag Text(contains), Tag Area(for applications that use more than one, and need filtering), Tag Result Count(number of tags to show), Tag offset(number of tags to skip) and Currently Viewing User's Tags. here to download this file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcher Technologies Posted April 2, 2012 Author Share Posted April 2, 2012 What do you meen bombs on 2.3 I got it on my front page, seems to work fine? You very quite obviously have not visited your acp of content lately....... I've patched an error and am templating... but ... hrmm, i suppose its possible on certain PHP versions to bypass it. basically, without a patch feed blocks from 2.2 throw up an error due to a method signature change in the content feed interface when visiting the ACP Manage Block Templates or editing the block.

~sullengirl~ Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi, made an Ip.Content tag cloud with this module, and it's working just as I expected. But since I have 10 Ip.Content databases (use tags on only 2), when I click a tag in tag cloud, it sends me of course to search page, where you need to click a database in the left column to get the records with selected tags. Which does not help me a lot. Probably because alphabetically first database does not use tags, so it returns basically an empty page. I know it's a problem of unfunctional IPB search (when a user searches something, I don't expect him to guess which database I put it in?), but was wondering if it's possible to display right away search results for one or two databases, avoiding the need to select a database after tag is clicked?

Use The Tags 'Area' input in the block configuration(Filters). use records-# where # is the database id and it will have the proper links for said database, and will also pull results solely from that database... That filter in this block exists for literally no more reason than Content database tags.... no other app AFAIK has multiple tag "area's". IPB does just about as well with that as it does with a global tag cloud with tagged items across various apps(not well at all), hence filters for sanity.

~sullengirl~ Posted September 6, 2012 Share Posted September 6, 2012 So like this, if my database has ID 9, which I suppose is the number on the end of the link: I input this: If I do that, I get an empty block. So sorry to bother you, this all is very technical for me :( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted September 6, 2012 Author Share Posted September 6, 2012 Hi, that is a bug, re-upload the upload files in the download, I was fixing the 'area' for the link before going and getting the result set, which obviously resulted in that, fixed. The configuration is correct, you should be getting results as expected immediately upon uploading the files from the download fresh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Claudia999 Posted March 16, 2013 Share Posted March 16, 2013 How can I have this tag cloud in alphabetical order? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcher Technologies Posted March 17, 2013 Author Share Posted March 17, 2013 How can I have this tag cloud in alphabetical order? you have raised a valid issue I will look to resolve in the next update. Frankly, I have no clue what order it is in at the moment, or what field it is ordering on, even looking at the code, due to the actual query being run I am using being embedded into the core's public tags sql abstraction file.... an oversight of using standard code for the task.... at one point I was using the tags API, but this proved to lack control, thus I reached further back..... I may end up handling this with custom sort methods to avoid removing the little abstraction I have left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Claudia999 Posted January 21, 2014 Share Posted January 21, 2014 And what's the "area" for a specific forum? I tried category id and forums-# - that's not the solution :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
