Tag Cloud¶

rankby=”“¶

This parameter allows you to weigh your tags by hits or entries.

Default: rankby=”entries”

min_size=”“¶

This parameter controls to min size of the {tagger:size} variable.

max_size=”“¶

This parameter controls to max size of the {tagger:size} variable.

channel=”“¶

Limit the tags by channel. Multiple channels can be specified by using the pipe character

groups=”“¶

Limit the tags by groups. Multiple groups can be specified by using the pipe character

orderby=”“¶

The “order” parameter sets the display order of the tags. Setting options for this parameter include:

• orderby=”tag_name”
• orderby=”entry_date”
• orderby=”hits”
• orderby=”total_entries”
• orderby=”random”

Default: orderby=”total_entries”

sort=”“¶

The sort order can be ascending or descending. Setting options for this parameter include: - sort=”asc” - sort=”desc”

Default: sort=”asc’

limit=”“¶

This parameter limits the number of tags on any given page. The limit will default to 30 entries if a value is not specified.

Default: limit=”30”

backspace=”“¶

Backspacing removes characters (including spaces and line breaks) from the last iteration of the loop. For example, if you put a <br /> tag after each entry you’ll have this:

Item 1<br />      Item 2<br />      Item 3<br />

You might, however, not want the <br /> tag after the final item. Simply count the number of characters (including spaces and line breaks) you want to remove and add the backspace parameter to the tag. The <br /> tag has 6 characters plus a new line character, so you would do this:

backspace=”7”

Would produce this:

Item 1<br />      Item 2<br />      Item 3

prefix=”“¶

This parameter allows you to change the default variable prefix used. This is especially useful when you are nesting tags to avoid variable collisions.

Default: prefix=”tagger”

For example the variable {tagger:tag_name}, if you use prefix=”tg” the variable will now be {tg:tag_name}

{tagger:tag_name}¶

The pretty tag name

{tagger:urlsafe_tagname}¶

An URL Safe tag name, good for use in <a href=”“> tags

{tagger:unitag}¶

An 100% Guaranteed URL Safe tag name, good for use in <a href=”“> tags

{tagger:size}¶

This variable will return a numeric value of the relative rank of the tag within the sequence of tags in the list.

{tagger:total_items}¶

Total entries linked to this tag

{tagger:count}¶

The “count” out of the current tag being displayed. If five items are being displayed, then for the fourth item the count variable would have a value of “4”.

{if tagger:no_tags}¶

This tag will conditionally display the code inside the tag if there are no tags to display
