This article describes how you can easily install our keyword sniffer script to your IPB forums

Firstly, you must ensure your templates allow "<php>" tags. Open init.php and find



Make the 0 a 1 like so



If it's already a 1 (for instance, if you installed our tagging script already) then you can skip this step.

We'll assume that you placed the keyword script files in your IPB forum directory. If not, you will need to adjust the include statement to point to the script.

Add the following code on the page where you want the keyword script block to show up. I added it immediately at the beginning of the "All Global HTML" -> "global_board_footer" template, but you can add it anywhere (this code DOES need to be in a template and not in the global wrapper, however).



That's it - adjust the skinning to suit your tastes. Visit our forum index page and scroll to the bottom to see the end result.

This works great, thanks a lot!

Wanted to add a note, as we've had a few questions on this already.

The tagcloudKeywords() method accepts a couple of parameters too.



So you can change the skin template to



for example, to pull the top 100 results, with size-formatting, ordered by popularity (rather than alphabetically).

I have installed the script like described. Made the changes in the init php and add the code in the wrapper.
What could be the reason why the extra table won't be displayed?

Firstly, I fixed the code above to take into account the download manager error fyi.

I believe if I'm understanding what you are referring to, the module is actually working correctly. The table only shows when there are keywords to show.

The Access to the DL module works now. Unfortunately i have no explanation why the keyword cloud wont be shown on index

Yeah, I think you'll need to submit a ticket. If you look at our index you can see the keywords at the bottom of the page, so this is more of a support issue.

How to add to lofiversion skin of IPB ?

All you really have to do is include the file, then run the function to show the keywords as noted in the instructions. You can do that on any php file - just use the same generic instructions on the lofi version file that are in the instructions.

how to add this script to the tagging section?
I think that I had seen such topic but now I'm searching about 1 hour and nothing found

This module and the tag module are completely separate. You could try inserting this code into the HTML tag module block to have it display in the tag module block, if you wanted, but I haven't tested it to see how well that will work.

When I add



to global_board_footer it is taking my forum offline. Any idea what I may be doing wrong?

Should I submit a ticket?

Yes

Before I submit a ticket, can anyone offer any advice, basically I've added the code to a portal block on my homepage which works perfectly although using the exact instructions by Admins first post shows me nothing anywhere else. I've googled a few of my pages in an effort to generate some keywords though it's just plain blank, nothing!.
Any advice appreciated
