Modification Description:The ModernDignity Tag Cloud is a animated wordgraph that displays your choice of forum titles, common search words, or usernames in 3D by placing them in a rotating sphere on your index page using Adobe Flash. It works just like a regular tag cloud, but is more visually exciting. This is based on a popular wordpress plugin by Roy Tanck and has been adapted for phpBB3. People like to be visually stimulated, and this is the perfect instrument to attract prospects and eventually convince them to join your forum. It has several options to customize your tag cloud via the ACP module which include: enable/disable, cloud mode, cloud size, font size, bg color, tag color, transparent background, speed, and more.
A demo can be found at http://phpbb.moderndignity.com
Now includes an install file!

No SQL to run. No ACP module to create and activate. This is all done for you!
3 easy steps: Run the install file, make minor edits to only a few files, and then copy all the files to your site. Piece of cake!
The cloud is set up to display one of 3 modes:
- All of your Category, Forum, and Subforum titles.
- Common search words pull from the SEARCH_WORDLIST_TABLE.
- All of your Users pulled from the USERS_TABLE.
