This is my first post in this forum, so I apologize if this may sound like a no-brainer question.

I went through a number of threats and understood that adding a topic tag cloud to a search page requires…

(1) activation of the tagging feature in the forum settings (Done)
(2) adding an HTML widget to the respective sidebar and (Done)
(3) pasting the relevant HTML code snippet into the widget. (Open)

Where can I find the HTML required for step number 3?

Any advice is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jan

great to have a first poster, and there aren’t any no-brainers – we all start with no knowledge 🙂 🙂

It can take a few questions to get to a common understanding of what you are trying to do, so can I ask :

can you define what you mean by ‘search page’ ?

and can you give us links to the threads that gave you 1 & 2

sorry for making you wait.

The better term is probably “search result page”. The header of my bbp forum comes with a search bar which allows users to enter keywords (i.e. “browser”) and then takes then to the respective search result page (example: https://webgefaehrte.de/videoassistent/suchen/browser/).

I’d like to add a tag cloud into the existing side bar (right hand side).

Meanwhile I found this suggestion which, however, I can’t get to work 😉

The threats regarding #1 und #2 is this one:
– https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/problem-with-shortcode-tag-cloud-in-sidebar-widget/
– https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-font-size-range-for-tag-cloud/

Any advise is much appreciated.

Thanks,
Jan

ok so is this JUST on the search result page?

Hi Robin,

yes, it is.

Apologies for the late response. This time I flagged the “Notify me” option ;-).

Hi Robin,

sorry for chasing you on this.

I’d highly appreciate your view on this.

I’d be tempted to use the conditional widgets plugin to achieve this, but bear in mind that wordpress’s move to block widgets may limit the lifespan.

It would also be worth asking the theme author since this is a paid theme.

Beyond that, it would be custom development work I suspect

Hi Robin,

thanks for your reply. From all the options you are suggesting, checking back with the theme author seems to be the best. I’ll give this a try.

Best regards,
Jan

PS: Really sorry for the delay in response. I deliberately check the “notify me” option but still don’t get e-mails from the forum website ;-(
