It looks like the default for that function is a list, but table would also be accepted. But the other choice, table, would just return (i.e., I don’t think they ever finished that, but were maybe planning on having other options.)
function bb_list_tags( $args = null )
{
$defaults = array(
'tags' => false,
'format' => 'list',
'topic' => 0,
'list_id' => 'tags-list'
);
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );
if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) ) {
return false;
}
if ( !is_array( $tags ) ) {
$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );
}
if ( !$tags ) {
return false;
}
$list_id = esc_attr( $list_id );
$r = '';
switch ( strtolower( $format ) ) {
case 'table' :
break;
case 'list' :
default :
$args['format'] = 'list';
$r .= '<ul id="' . $list_id . '" class="tags-list list:tag">' . "n";
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
$r .= _bb_list_tag_item( $tag, $args );
}
$r .= '</ul>';
break;
}
echo $r;
}
I hope someone else can come along and show how to do this with a plugin.
Well to be honest, I think some kind of filter has to be created. I need this for a template and it’s kinda weird you have to go this deep to change a display. Sure I can put this in a plugin but then you have to supply this plugin with your template. It’s a small issue but something the dev team should take a look at…. if there is still one…
Nevertheless, thank you for your suggestion, I’ll try it as soon as I am home.
Kind regards,
Hmm this wont work since I need to edit _bb_list_tag_item too. Hmm perhaps I need to write some new code for this. Kinda hoped this could be done easier 
Ok I have written a function to get the tags in a row, but I want to have them comma seperated, any ideas?
function bb_row_tags( $args = null ) {
$defaults = array(
'tags' => false,
'format' => 'row',
'topic' => 0,
);
$args = wp_parse_args( $args, $defaults );
extract( $args, EXTR_SKIP );
if ( !$topic = get_topic( get_topic_id( $topic ) ) ) {
return false;
}
if ( !is_array( $tags ) ) {
$tags = bb_get_topic_tags( $topic->topic_id );
}
if ( !$tags ) {
return false;
}
$r = '';
switch ( strtolower( $format ) ) {
case 'row' :
default :
$args['format'] = 'row';
foreach ( $tags as $tag ) {
$r .= _bb_row_tag_item( $tag, $args );
}
break;
}
echo $r;
}
function _bb_row_tag_item( $tag, $args ) {
$url = esc_url( bb_get_tag_link( $tag ) );
$name = esc_html( bb_get_tag_name( $tag ) );
if ( 'row' == $args['format'] ) {
$id = 'tag-' . $tag->tag_id . '_' . $tag->user_id;
return "t" . '<a href="' . $url . '" rel="tag">' . $name . '</a>' . "n";
}
}
