Thanks for posting this - it's just what I've been looking for! The only thing is, being unexperienced with advanced cusomisations, I can't figure out how to get the bi-level part working. All I can manage is getting them in a list format, which is great, but headings would be nice! I don't know if you're able (or willing) to help me, but I'd be much appreciative if you could.

When I put a single character in 'var string delimiter = ":";' (r, if that matters) :
# Specify your delimiter! One char only -- extra chars get truncated.
# Making the delimiter an empty string will result in an un-tiered list,
# which may be what you prefer, but this code is serious overkill for
# that purpose.
var string delimiter = ":";My tags wound up splitting into bi-level whenever there was an 'r' in my tags, which was quite hard to navigate and not what I was trying to do at all! Should I be using a different delimiter? And if so, do I need to put that delimiter in my tags? (I presume so.) If I want to have a number of different ( ... )

And of course, as soon as I ask, I figure it out. (colon = delimiter = headdesk.)
Sorry to bother you.

headdesks that lead to figuring things out so that i don't have to do any work are my favorite type of headdesks. :)

At least this was a speedy headdesk. :)

(here by way of masterslacker)

Thank you for this!

Dunno if you'll want to change it or not, but people might want to know that it's easy to add in vertical scrolling if you have a huge number of tags like I do:

Add (as in the original code)
.tagBox {
height: 500px;
overflow: auto;
} to the end of the stylesheet.

Then put the unordered tag list in a div, like so:

Change $list = """
    """; to $list = """
      """;.

      Close the div by changing $list = $list + """
    """; to $list = $list + """
""";.

Hey,

I'm trying to use this code, but whenever I implement the set layout_sidebox_tags_visibility = "hide"; part, all of my tags disappear. I don't really understand why we're supposed to put this into our user layers, because it doesn't make the tags display at all (hence, the hide part). Furthermore, what happens if we have a bunch of customizations already in the user layer? Do we still have to delete those and replace them with the code you provided at the beginning of this entry?

=( In any case, it's not working for me right now. My tags are visible (because I changed "hide" to "3"), but they're all centered and not in a list format. Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you, this is fabulous.

One problem: I have two boxes of free text, apart from the one taken up by the tag list, and I can't get them to display. I've used
set layout_sidebox_freetext_3_visibility = "4";, and made sure that the text is in free text box #3, but it's just not showing.

Any advice?

Thanks in advance!

*headthunk* Of course, right after I posted this, they started showing up. Maybe I just needed to mess with it and compile it a few extra times to make it work.

Sorry to bother you with comment spam!

i totally don't understand the logic with the sidebar boxes in this layout.

the component format makes more sense. but with the 14 or whatever boxes available to this layout would make that rather cumbersome.

glad to know that you figured it out!

What should be added for multi (2+) level tags?
