Hot Tags Plus (0.0.4)

While normally options are sent internally through your PHP, here is a demo made to use URLs:

default tag cloud: http://bbshowcase.org/forums/tags/

tags for only the first forum, excluding tags that are only used once: http://bbshowcase.org/forums/tags/?forums=1&minimum=2 internal command on a forum page global $forum_id; hot_tags_plus(array('forums'=>$forum_id,'minimum'=>2));

the above tag cloud but sorted by tag count instead of alphabetical http://bbshowcase.org/forums/tags/?forums=1&minimum=2&sort=numeric internal command on a forum page global $forum_id; hot_tags_plus(array('forums'=>$forum_id,'minimum'=>2,'sort'=>'numeric'));

tags used only on topics that have been replied to within the past month: http://bbshowcase.org/forums/tags/?since=1+month+ago internal command would be hot_tags_plus(array('since'=>'1 month ago'));

tags in green (without waypoint colors) http://bbshowcase.org/forums/tags/?colors=003300&colors=00ee00 internal command would be hot_tags_plus(array('colors'=>array('003300','00ee00')));

Here are all the options:

$options = array( 'smallest' => 8, 'largest' => 22, 'unit' => 'pt', 'limit' => 45, 'format' => 'flat', 
    'minimum' => 0, 'maximum' => 0, 'forums' => 0, 'since' => 0, 'sort' => 0, 'colors' => array('24244C','600000','C00000') );
hot_tags_plus($options);
  • smallest - how small should the font go (default 8)
  • largest - how large should the font go (default 22)
  • unit - what CSS measure should the font use (default pt, you can also try px and em)
  • limit - how many tags should be shown (default 45)
  • format - display flat or nested ( default flat)
  • minimum - minimum number of uses a tag must have to be shown (default 0, meaning no restriction)
  • minimum - maximum number of uses a tag must have to be shown (default 0, meaning no restriction)
  • forums - restrict tags from the following forums, can be single or an array (default 0, no restriction)
  • since - time based filter, show only tags from topics that have a reply no older than specified can be a unix timestamp, a mysql timestamp or even a plain english phase, ie. "1 year ago" or "2 months ago"
  • sort - default uses the built in bbPress tag sort, but also can be "alphabetical" or "numeric" / "counts" (sorts by most tag use first)
  • colors - an array of at least one start color, one end color, and any color "waypoints" along the way to guide the color range ie. default of array('24244C','600000','C00000') means start with #24244C end with #C00000 and guide through #600000 There can be almost unlimited waypoints. Do NOT use CSS short color codes, ie. 609 is invalid, use 660099 instead.
