Welcome

This is the official documentation page for the Tag Cloud Sidebox 1.5.4 module for Opencart

Description

This module is made specifically for 1.5.4 and newer versions of opencart. It will not work on older versions. If you want a tag cloud for older versions look HERE. The way tags are handled changed in 1.5.4 and unfortunately it is now too resource intensive to build the cloud on the fly like in older verisons. To get around this a new generate button has been added to the module edit page. This generate function will need to be run anytime new tags are added. I know this is not ideal, but it is the best solution given the new database structure.

Install instructions

1. Upload all files from the upload folder into the root of your opencart install. No files will be overwritten though a couple of new folders will be created.
2. In the admin goto System->User->User Groups.
3. Edit the group you want to give permission to (Usually Top Adminstrator).
4. Find module/tagcloud in each box and make sure it is checked then save.
5. Goto Extensions->Modules click on the install next to Tag Cloud.
6. Click edit next to tag cloud.
7. Assign the module to the pages you want.
8. If you want the variable sizes in your tag cloud click the checkbox.
9. Click the generate button (this will need to be done anytime you add new tags) to generate the tag cloud database.
10. Click save.
