Can anyone advise me why the Tag Cloud does not appear anywhere on my site even though it is active and configured to show on every quota?

What else needs to be done..? I cannot find any help in the documentation :(

Depends on what skin your using. The docs are here for more explanation:

Docs: "Item Tags"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/95/item-tags

Whichever skin your using will need to have one of the {jrTag.......... functions in a template somewhere for anything to be displayed.

I do not have the template "item_details.tpl" as stated in the documentation; only "item_lists.tpl - is this the same template, by a different name?
Also not clear where exactly in the template, or if other text needs to surround it - as in {if... etc}.

Try reloading the module via ACP > Marketplace > Tools > Reload Modules And Skins.

Hope this helps!

???
Based on the procedure for adding the Tag Cloud in a template, I can't see how that would help if the template itself is not available to me?
My question to Michael was I don't see
Quote: ...the template "item_details.tpl" as stated in the documentation; is "item_lists.tpl" the same template, by a different name?

item_details.tpl should be in your modules/jrTag/templates directory, if it is not there then you should try reloading the module as I've suggested.

Are you using a custom skin? If not, which skin are you using?

Also, are you using Site Builder?

Thanks!

There is no item_detail.tpl file for the tags module - it doesn't use one.

Tags are turned on/off at the skin level, and adding tags is enabled at the quota level.

Once enabled, you'll see a system level tags setup located at yoursite.com/tags - i.e.:

https://www.jamroom.net/tags

Yes, I can see the Tag Cloud on the system OK ( https://www.anysite.mock/tags), but would like it to show on the Home page - as in the demo. There Tag Cloud is showing on the Home page; how can I show this using the Ningja template?

The code you need is:
{jrTags_cloud height="300"}
it goes in your index.tpl file for your skin.

No.

Docs: "Module File System Structure"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/development/789/module-file-system-structure

Each module has its own structure, some use item_detail.tpl, some don't.

Not sure if you fellas are on the same page as me.

Pasting the code into the template index.tpl in Ningja skin does work; I have tried this and Tag cloud is not visible. However, I have just pasted the code.. but not included any other data, as I do not know what else to add to it to make it show.

Does anybody know how to get this to work?

That should be all you need, do you have a link to the page?

Also, have you added tags to anything yet?

You'll want to send your admin login to support[at]jamroom[dot]net so I can login to check it out.

Thanks!
