– Documentation has been updated to take out the step where the tag.php file is copied to themes.
– The minimum and maximum font sizes can be specified for tag clouds
– There’s now a little bit of magic for related posts
– “Technorati Tags: ” no longer displays when there are no tags, when they’re included automagically.

[Edit: Apparently this was post #300 for me. Go milestones!]

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.5.3

Is available for download!

It fixes a bug, adds another format, and enables the importing of keywords from a custom field along with the exporting of tags into a custom field.

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.5

Ultimate tag warrior 2.5 is out! however, UTW now has it’s very own home at http://www.neato.co.nz/ultimate-tag-warrior where the juicy details will be posted for this, and other versions.

[Brief overview: 2.5 has big changes to the admin side of things; allows tag clouds; will render a long-tail graph for your tags; ought to behave in not-in-the-siteroot blogs; will clean up duplicate tags; can turn categories into tags; and anything else that I’ve forgotten]

I’ll continue to make announcements in the main part of my blog, though (:

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.0

Okay. I’m somewhat happy with UTW2 now. I’m pretty sure it’s not going to steal your lunchmoney, or anything of that nature, at least.

Something to be aware of, is that even if you have installed a previous version of ultimate tag warrior, you’ll need to visit the installation page; because there are a couple of options which get added. Your head will explode if you forget this! (it probably won’t). By default, the plugin will append links to technorati tag pages at the end of your content; you might not need this, but it’s useful-ish as a starting point if you haven’t used UTW before.

Also, there are now what seems to be two plugins: 1.3 legacy and 2.0. 1.3 Legacy contains all of the functions that the 1.1.2 had, so that everything keeps working; and 2.0 is a cleanslate version which only has functions that use the fancy formatting stuff.

You can also specify the base directory for tags, which is pretty awesome (but I think the admin side will implode if it’s not in the root..)

There’s a readme with instructions for installing in the zip file; and there’s a helpfile in there somewhere which lists out the functions and some stuff for simplified formatting (you can say “commalist” is the kind of formatting, and it dutifully formats it like that; rather than having to wrangle formatting bits directly)

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.0 go crazy with that thang.

2.0.1 alpha

Hokay!

I think I’ve fixed the two bugs that popped up (The thing with a sql error with a limit of -1, and the broken tag administration). Same warnings as 2.0 alpha apply!

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.0.1 alpha

Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.0 alpha

Alrighty, then.

Are you hardcore?

Then Ultimate Tag Warrior 2.0 alpha might be for you!

This is still somewhat non-shiny; but it appears to be backwards compatible with 1.1.2.

The bundled zip file contains enough information to get you into trouble; but probably not quite enough for you to get it working if you aren’t familiar with existing Ultimate Tag Warrior installs. (In fact, if you’ve never installed Ultimate Tag Warrior before, there’s a pretty good chance that it’s going to steal your lunchmoney.)

Long story short: shiny new code, lives in wp-content/plugins/UltimateTagWarrior (since there are now.. five.. files to it, I think). So once you’ve copied the plugin there, you’ll need to disable UTW1ish, and enable this version. The rest of your install should “all just work the same as it always did”.

If you’re feeling brave, by all means; start using the functions in the core class, and playing with the formatting bits (There are formatting bits! They allow a big bucket of control over the way lists of tags get displayed. All of the lists (I think..) in UTW1ish have been recreated using formatting strings. There’s more about that guff in the help file.)

Oh yuh! Just for Dan, there’s now a lazy-tagging thing that will display a list of all of your tags on the edit screen, and allow you to click on ’em to add them to the list of tags for the post.

And for….Cliff (I think?), tags can have spaces, sortof – if you enter tags with _’s, then most of the time* the formatting stuff will automagically display the tags with spaces (but link to the _’ed name)
* except in strings where you ask it to do something else – the standard %link% things will do the space thing.
