• Hey Folks.

    I’ve been wondering if I can do a few things with normal wordpress plugins.

    I’d greatly appreciate it if anyone can give me answers, or point me in the right direction.

    1) Can I apply ‘tags’ to individual ‘pages’, then create a tag cloud of most popular tags used throughout every page ?

    2) Can I apply a rating system to individual pages / or individual items (ie, Mp3s or Jpegs) then create chart lists on another separate page from results ?

    3) When using one of the many Flickr plugins, can I pull in thumbnails on multiple pages? (According to these particular attributes;

    – Flickr Pool (Group)
    – and then 2 or 3 separate tags contained within a photo)

    4) Is there anything out there to ‘track individual views or clicks’ of each page or item? So I can then create a list chart of the most viewed items …..?

    Thanks,

    Aaron

  • #1 – Ultimate Tag Warrior and others, check Plugins.

    The rest I couldn’t help you with.

    Thanks very much man, I’ll look into that.

    Anyone else got any idea about the other stuff ?

    vkaryl is female. Check the plugins page she linked to.

    What is it about my nick that people think I’m a guy? Eh…. weird.

    Anyway, yes, there are dozens of plugins listed (with a fair amount of info on what they do) on the page to which I linked. And there are links to other repositories from there as well. You should be able to discover plugins to help with your other needs there.

    And I apologize for the brevity of my earlier reply – the shrimp was ready to eat, as opposed to burnt.

    dont you know that nearly all people on the net are guys? ?? its the most common assumption there is, imo. females just dont get that techy stuff *sigh*

    ive been repeatedly refered to as male all over the net, and the more tech-sounding my reply/post the more chance it happens.

    Conversely, if I ‘bitch’ I’m female and its ‘that time of the month’. Go figure, guys on the net dont bitch either, I guess.

    [OT]*snicker* I’m sure you’re right. No of course guys never bitch…. about anything…. hmm. (And since I am now FAR too old, I don’t have the “time of the month” thing, thank the Lady….)[/OT]

    thanks for the advice, i apologise for assuming, tbh i didn’t even think that much into it. i promise not to jump to conclusions in future ??

    #1) since i could not get ultimate tag warrior to become visible in my plugin menu i have been playing around with a plug = Jerome’s Keywords. The documentation and links to this plugin might also answer #2.

    Whooami’s a GIRL?!?!??!?!

    ??

    Yup….

    ronchicago, I’ve never used Jerome’s myself, UTW’s the only one I ever used (and that was for a brief while a year ago or so, I don’t think the whole tagging thing has much intrinsic value really) – I know a couple of people who use it though and they think it’s better than UTW overall.

    I use Jerome’s Keywords and created a tag cloud with it on the sidebar. You can see it here: WordPressGarage.com. I used it instead of UTW because it seemed questionable as to how compatible UTW is with 2.1 and I didn’t want to take any chances. But Jerome’s Keywords works great and does the job.

    Regarding #4 about tracking clicks, you can use Google Analytics with your WP blog. First sign up for Analytics. Then install the (Google Analytics plugin . Follow the instructions to enter your Analytics code in the plugin, and you’re good to go.

    I’d build a custom Flickr badge to put certain types of photos places. It’s java Script, so you don’t need a plug-in and you can pick by pool, set, or tag. Do the HTML version and you can edit it to make it look how you want.

    I used it on my site to pull 3 different sets (I’m using 3 different Flickr badges). No WP plug-in required!

    i have asked so many questions the past 2-3 days i had to go back to my profile to find unresolved items. I am back to tags/clouds, etc. again. thank you for all the comments! a flicker “badge” is very neat.

    today i found this site that has many thing i am looking for = three column, stuff on the bottom. does anyone recognize this theme? i did leave a message with the owner of this site asking him if this was tweaked a lot or entirely custom.

    vkaryl is female.

    Also off-topic: I’m confident that kickintheteeth meant that in a generic, humanistic and hippy kind of way. There’s no need to jump to conclusins that “thanks very much man” means the assumption is that you’re of the male gender.
