Tag Cloud Block

[NumNum]

For those who use tags on their sites, it would be a great feature to have a cloud block that can be added to each app page from the block manager, or admincp.

Not exactly what you’re requesting but this gives more visibility to tags:

Nice admin feature, needs something on the user level too.

...which is abandoned. Be careful.

Looking for a simple tag cloud widget too. No big advanced options, maybe only set the amount of shown tags.

The Tag cloud in this is great, but as mentioned above, sadly the app has been abandoned.

Would be nice to see IPS incorporate a tag cloud widget by default, as we found it was a really popular feature. 

And if we're really dreaming here, it would be even better to have the option within the widget of whether to show all tags for the entire site, or specifically tags for the current app.

By which I mean, if you're in the gallery, you could opt to have the tag cloud show only tags used in the gallery, and when clicking on a tag, only show gallery items with that tag. Same would apply if the widget was used on the forums, or in downloads and so on. 

But either way, any sort of tag cloud (that shows a clickable list of all the different tags used) would be a really useful feature.

I don’t have anything concrete to share, but we had a high level conversation about making tagging more useful last week, so I would expect we’ll be aiming for some changes in the near future.

This topic inspired me to make tagging mandatory when a user creates a new topic (they could add tags previously, but it wasn't required). I'd like to see in a few months what the tags functionality looks like so I can begin explaining to my community how to follow certain tags in a custom Activity Stream. It's an effort to begin really utilizing the Activity Streams and ideally shift our homepage from the top news stories, to a page where they're seeing content they chose. 

A tag cloud would be cool 👍
