1. Is there a way to show in the discussion list tags that are assigned to certain discussions? Just like the "Discussion Tags" does? 2. Is there a way to predefine tags and let users choose tags from that predefined list?
The above was accomplished using the Discussion Tags extension - I had a good starting point, so I decided to use that extension. The above also shows what I'd like to achieve by giving the users a predefined tag list. Lets say that it'd be some sort of a sub-categories replacement.
I second that motion.
I would really love the tag limiter (only showing the most popular of tags)
The fear is that fear my board (which has averaged 150+ new threads per day for the last three years) would have the longest tag cloud in history
The problem with that approach is what makes the majority of the final say 80% of tags, are tags which are mentioned only once and these are what will be culled. So you've got 400 tags only mentioned once and you want 70 of them. What is the fairest way of deciding which to be used? alphabetical? chronological? Or perhaps a better way is to have an option so that only tags mentioned more than once are included?
Well, I mean.. if I have 400 tags, and 300 of them are only used once, I don't really see a problem with listing only 100 in the cloud. Since the purpose of the cloud (at least in my application) is to show the most popular content, this would make the most sense. I suppose you could have it be semi-customizable.
Optional fields
Show ______ tags
Sort by ________ (alpha, chrono, etc.)
I can't see the tags that were added to the discussion on the discussion page. I think it would make sense to display them, so one can edit/add more too.
Well, the tag cloud doesn't display anywhere either. But I get no error messages. Is there anything else I need to do besides adding and enabling the addon? (readme.html in text format didn't mention anything)

Number 2 - there isn't a way currently, but I can add it to the feature list.

Then again, I deleted all threads I made so far too, it could have cleared some.
