Issues with Freetag Plugin

[clafferty]

This is probably because I'm using it wrong, but here's the problem I'm having:

I would like each entry to list 5 related articles at the bottom of the body as well as a Flash cloud tag of all the tags for that particular entry.

I have gotten the related articles to show up, but only in the footer (regardless of whether I put yes or no to the footer question). I forced it to the body by using the smarty option and placing {$entry.freetag} after the body.

However, in none of these instances does it list the tags for that entry, in flash or otherwise. I am able to get the entire tag list to show up in the sidebar, but not a list of a particular entry's tags. I attempted adding {$entry.properties.freetag_tags} below the body as well, but all it prints is Array().

I deleted and reinstalled the plugin, but am seeing the same thing.

Any ideas? Thanks!

After fiddling around with it a bit, I got the display of the tags working. So now I just have a question about the flash tag cloud -- exactly how is it supposed to work? I got it so it shows a flash tag cloud in the sidebar of all the tags for the site... is it possible to display a flash tag cloud at the bottom of each entry of the tags just for that entry or tags possibly related to that entry? Thanks!

Hi!

No, the flash cloud only acts on a global context, not a local (=entry) one. Also, having a flash cloud below each entry would really obstruct the view, don't you think? And it's a lot of loading overhead involved for the browser...
