- Delete existing folder /wp-content/plugins/lcTags and upload the new one.
- Delete existing folder /wp-lctags at the root of your Wordpress and upload the new one.
- Update is well done
5. Integration in a wordpress page
1. If you want to display lcTags in all your posts:
- Put the following code in file wp-content\themes\your-template\page.php at the place you want:
<div id="flashcontent"> LutinCapuche 2008 - LcTags - Plugin Wordpress - Here alternative content </div> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var so = new SWFObject("wp-lctags/lctags.swf", "lctags", "votre largeur", "votre hauteur", "9", "#ffffff"); so.addParam("allowdomain", "always"); so.addParam("scale", "noscale"); //blog root(/wordpress, /blog, /...) so.addVariable("pathBase", "/"); so.useExpressInstall("wp-lctags/expressinstall.swf"); so.write("flashcontent"); // ]]> </script> - Put width and height you want for the swf, blog root in pathBase variable, save file and update it on your server with an ftp software.
- You can insert the swf in all your pages templates if you want. (home.php,archive.php…)
- Don’t forget to follow the step 3 to well finished the integration.
2. If you want to insert LcTags in a post with WordPress backoffice
- Note that WP content editor is not easy to use to insert flash content. You had to do a manipulation each time you want to edit your post. I don’t success in find an easier solution yet.
- Open your post in WP backoffice. Choose the “code” view.
- Put your mouse where you want to insert LcTags.
- Copy paste this code:
<div id="flashcontent"> LutinCapuche 2008 - LcTags - Plugin Wordpress - Here alternative content </div> <script type="text/javascript"> // <![CDATA[ var so = new SWFObject("wp-lctags/lctags.swf", "lctags", "votre largeur", "votre hauteur", "9", "#ffffff"); so.addParam("allowdomain", "always"); so.addParam("scale", "noscale"); //blog root (/wordpress, /blog, /...) so.addVariable("pathBase", "/"); so.useExpressInstall("wp-lctags/expressinstall.swf"); so.write("flashcontent"); // ]]> </script> - Put width and height you want for the swf, blog root in pathBase variable and save post.
- If you edit the post later, be careful: Wordpress re-edit the code and delete some code which break swf integration. You had to copy past code again.
- Don’t forget to follow the step 3 to well finished the integration.
3. For this two solutions, you had to add the swfObject file to your wordpress page.
To do this, you had to put a line in your file header:
- Open the file \wp-content\themes\votre-theme\header.php with a text editor
- Copy paste this line between <head> and </head>:
<script type="text/javascript" src="wp-lctags/js/swfobject.js"></script> - Save the file and update it on your server with an ftp software.
6. Uninstalling
If you dislike lcTags, you can uninstall it in your plugin page. Click on “uninstall”. Then delete folders wp-content/plugins/lcTags and wp-lctags. Uninstalling is done.
Uninstalling is well done !
7. Languages
Open plugins/lcTags/lcTags.php en change the following line:
define(’LCTAGS_LANG’, ‘fr_FR’);
by
define(’LCTAGS_LANG’, ‘en_EN’);
Upload plugins/lcTags/lcTags.php on your server.

Hi
Really nice plugin, but i have problem with it. I followed installation steps but tag cloud site does not working.
Do you have any idea to resolve it?
Thanks…
Hi,
You had to put your root path in flash settings: for you /blog/ in the file wp-lctags/index.php
Thank you for everything :D
nice plugin but i would like to set only one type of presentation style and faster bit a speed. And also add categories, not only tags (configurable), and not show categories/tags without posts
also it would be nice if one click would center and enlarge the the tag (and maybe show the relevant tags nearby) and stop the animation for some time, second click or doubleclick would forward you to tag/category page
