How to have an multipage alphabetical Tag index

http://x-files.net.ua/?page_id=1266

2) when click (fo example) on letter E – we don’t get a page with only E-tags.
http://x-files.net.ua/?page_id=1266?tags=e – not only E, but all tags.

3) the list of tags is not exluding what i need to exclude. is it possible to exclude?
i’m using a http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/template-tag-shortcodes/ plugin with this code:
[wp_tag_cloud smallest=8 largest=10 number=10000 order=ASC exclude=16,58,59,60,61,62,63,64,65,66,67,68,69,70,72,71,73,74,75,76,77,78,79,80,81,82,83,84,85,86,87,88,90,101,102,103,104,105,106,107,108,109,110,112,113,114,115,116,117,118,119,120,121,122,123,125,126,127,128,129,130,131,132,133,134,135,136,137,138,139,140,141,142,143,144,145,146,147,148,149,150,151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159,160,161,162,163,164,165,166,167,168,169,170,171,172,173,174,175,176,177,178,179,180,213,354,355,380,381]
.

well, if you’ll get smth on your mind about my problem, that whould be great to have some advise from you.

about author of code: i look through http://wordpress.pastebin.ca/1730939 and just can’t get how to contact to author… would you please point me?..

well, step by step my actions:
1) created a file azindex.php and placed it into /themes/simple-notepad/ with CHMOD 777

2) in admin panel Theme editor (/wp-admin/theme-editor.php?file=/themes/simple-notepad/azindex.php&theme=Simple+Notepad) i added your code to azindex.php:

<?php
/*
Template Name: Tag Index
*/

get_header();

$valid_characters = range( 'a' , 'z' );
$valid_numbers = array(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0);

$nav = array();
// Build nav array
foreach( $valid_characters as $key => $character )
	$nav[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '?tags=' . $character . '">' . strtoupper( $character ) . '</a>';
foreach( $valid_numbers as $key => $number )
	$nav[] = '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '?tags=' . $number . '">' . $number . '</a>';

// Array to hold tags, needs to be set, so the empty check works when none of the switch cases hit a match (for whatever reason)
$tags = array();
// Array that will hold arrays of tags based on their first letter
$tag_array = array();

// Main switch
switch( true ) {
	// If request for tag with particular letter
	case ( isset( $_GET['tags'] ) ):
		// If it's in the arrays created earlier, get tafs and sort into array
		case ( in_array( $_GET['tags'] , $valid_characters ) || in_array( $_GET['tags'] , $valid_numbers ) ):
			$tags = get_terms( 'post_tag' , "hide_empty=0&name__like=$_GET[tags]" );

			if( !empty( $tags ) ) {
				foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
					$tag_array[$tag->name{0}][] = '<li><a href="'.get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ).'">'.$tag->name.'</a></li>';
				}
			}
		break;
	break;
	case ( !isset( $_GET['tags'] ) ):
	default:
		$tags = get_terms( 'post_tag' , 'hide_empty=0' );

		if( !empty( $tags ) ) {
			foreach( $tags as $tag ) {
				$tag_array[$tag->name{0}][] = '<li><a href="'.get_tag_link( $tag->term_id ).'">'.$tag->name.'</a></li>';
			}
		}
	break;
}
// If theres only one item in the array ( well one key ) , then it's a requested tag letter, so add a "Show all" link at the start of the nav
if( count( $tag_array ) == 1 ) array_unshift( $nav , '<a href="' . get_permalink( $post->ID ) . '">Show all</a>' );
?>

<div id="content" class="widecolumn">
	<!-- Feel free to add regular stuff you want here, like the_content() etc. -->
	<div class="nav">
		<?php
			// Imploding an array is an easy and reliable way to create a string with seperators
			echo implode( ' | ' , $nav );
		?>
	</div>
<?php
	// If there's tags in the array
	if( !empty( $tag_array ) ) {
		foreach( $tag_array as $character => $character_tags ) {
		?>
			<div class="tagindex">
				<h4><?php echo $character; ?></h4>
				<ul class="links">
					<?php foreach( $character_tags as $key => $tag ) { echo $tag; } ?>
				</ul>
			</div>
		<?php
		}
	}
	else {
		?>
		<h4>No tags found</h4>
		<?php
	}
	?>
</div>
</div>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

3) added a new page (/wp-admin/page-new.php) with empty textarea.
on the right side i choose Tag Index for template.

4) finaly, we have http://x-files.net.ua/?page_id=1266

problem:
clicking on any letter, we will get to page where will be all the tags, not what we choose.

P.s.

the same thing with default theme. 🙁
i can give you the full access to my blog if you wish, so you could look through what is wrong.

Please, very need your code to be working 🙂

PHP5 the latest.
about turning off plugins – will try.

P.S. again:

Ok email me some login credentials and i’ll take a look for you…

[moderated]

Excuse the name, it’s where spam goes. Since i’m posting it openly (where the spammers can see it) i’d prefer to use it… 😉

Just going to take a look now..

EDIT: Spotted the error, will be corrected shortly.. 😉

EDIT2: All done, have emailed you, incase you’re not monitoring the thread.

Problem was i hadn’t accounted for default permalinks (silly mistake)..

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

and about second problem – is it possible to get an exclision in your code for some tags by id? it’s very important for me to make exclusions there, so it wouldn’t show some tags.. 🙂

P.S.wouldn’t it be difficult to you if i’ll ask for some template-editing help?

P.P.S. i alwaya monitor threads a lot of time per day 🙂 🙂
