popular topic keywords box

Posted: Thu Feb 21, 2008 11:30 am

does anyone know how to make one of those boxes for the homepage that has a bunch of keywords in it and the more popular keywords in the forums are the ones that appear to be larger and bold in the box?

It's basically a box that has random words displayed based on popularity from the Forums. I will try to find the site I found before that had it and post to help explain but if anyone knows how to get this on my site, I would greatly appreciate any direction! Thanks! Smile

I believe the term is 'Tag Cloud' but I have not seen anything specifically for nuke.

I have some on my site which are provided by a third party you are welcome to look at those ans use their services if you want to.
Although I am using full width tag clouds they do provide smaller ones suitable for a side block.

well, no luck...i actually wanted a tag cloud that will take keywords from the forums and/or forum topics and put those words in the tag cloud. i don't want a tag cloud that remains static where you put in your own keywords.

any ideas?

If you are familiar with PHP there are a number of scripts available although not written with phpnuke in mind which you could integrate.
It has actually been on my own list of things to do for some time but I have just never had to the time to make a start on it.

Or you could post in the For Hire forum if you are willing to pay someone to make this for you.
