Tags in columns Wordpress plugin (Ultimate Tag Warrior add-on)

I’ve now put up the code for the plugin used to create the TechCrunch Index.

Installation

  1. Check you have Ultimate Tag Warrior installed and activated
  2. Download the plugin and rename from cre8d_tags_in_columns.txt to cre8d_tags_in_columns.php
  3. Activate the plugin.
  4. Access the listing by including echo cre8d_UTW_TagArchive(); somewhere in your template. This will give, by default, 3 columns and tags grouped vertically in 5’s. If you wanted 2 columns and groups of ten, use: cre8d_UTW_TagArchive(2,10) and so forth.
  5. Add to your stylesheet the following:

    .list-column { float: left; width: 160px; margin: 0 5px; }
    .list-column ul { margin-left: 0; padding-left: 0; }
    .list-column ul li { list-style-type: none; }
    .spacer { margin-bottom: 20px; }

  6. Optionally tweak the width of .list-column to suit your blog’s layout. You may like to change the vertical spacing (.spacer) between groups too.

Great – just what I wanted. I have only one problem – If I access the tags my sidebar doesn’t show up. Any ideas how to resolve this?

Looks like it’s a problem in one of your templates, but it’s hard to tell without digging into your code. Try asking for support over at the UltimateTagWarrior support forum if you like.

Hello Rachel,

Thnak you, I have posted in their forum and I am waiting for an answer. By the way are you using a special plugin to get your comments colored like that? Looks really nice.

Rachel

Cool plugin, thanks for doing it! In my implementation there are “orphans” at the bottom of the first three columns – see http://www.paidcontent.org/wp/tags-list-3/

Any idea why?

That’s really odd Derek. Have you adapted the code at all?

Hi rachel, nice plugin,

Do you know if it’s possible to filter the list in order to show only a extract of the tags from one specific category for example.

Thanks

High Rachel;

While I’ve taken a few design and programming classes, I’m not a programmeror designer. I have just enough knowledge to be dangerous. So, my question will likely sound silly to the rest of you

I’m not understanding where the “echo cre8d_UTW_TagArchive();” code needs to be in the template. Or how that will make the index appear on the index page I created.

Can you help?

Rachel

August 10 2006

Hi Tracey, put the code:

< ?php echo cre8d_UTW_TagArchive(); ?>

into your template where you want the listing to appear (e.g. in the middle column of your page or in the sidebar of your page). Try putting it somewhere in the template you created then see if it’s going where you want.

Does that help?

Rachel

Hi Rachel:

Thanks for the quick response. :) I will give it a shot. It is a new blog, so I need to creat some tags.

Rachel!

thank you, thank you, thank you….

This is a great mod.

I have a quick question. For some reason, in Firefox it aligns perfectly; however, IE will not separate the lists in columns:

Here is the code I used:

Here is the URL:

You’re welcome – try changing the spacing/widths of your columns in your CSS to get it OK in IE.

Hi Rachel:

It’s Tracey again. I’m missing something. I’m new php and not really a programmer.
I understand installing it, but I do not undersand how or where to place it in the template. Like with Techcrunch, I want a separate page to appear specifically for the index. So when you say
“including echo cre8d_UTW_TagArchive(); somewhere in your template. ”

i added some code I saw with other instuctions :

that got it to work in the side nav, but I really want it to appear on its own page like with tech crunch, can you help?

Thanks

Rachel

Hi Tracey,

You can – create a new template with this code in it in your theme folder and then assign this template to a new page which you create.

Cheers

Hi Rachel:

Thanks for hanging in there with me. Sorry for the long gap since my last question. I’ve been very ill. I’m sure it is obvious, but my programming skills leave much to be desired. how would I assign a template to a new page. I created a template and placed it in my template folder as instructed, but when I went to make a static page, I did not see a way to assign the template. I also can not find how to do so in wordpress support.

Thanks again

Tracey

Rachel

Hope you’re feeling better now.

To assign the template, go in to edit the page. On the right hand side you’ll see “Page template” under “Page Parent”.

Thanks for talking me through this. That is what I thought, but there is not page template under page parent in my installation. I have 2.0.4 installed.
