I created a Tag Archive Page and I am having trouble getting wp_tag_cloud() to work
Heres the the code:
if( is_page() ){
$tagcloud = wp_tag_cloud('number=0&format=array&orderby=name&order=ASC');
print_r($tagcloud);
}The problem is that 'Array' is printed on the screen, if the format is array shouldn't the value be returned and not echo'd?
Btw, commenting out the print_r() function still prints 'Array' to the screen.
Is this the correct way to use wp_tag_cloud()?
Thanks for any help
I think the Template Tag, get_the_tags, might be more appropriate for you.

MichaelH, thanks for your reply.
get_the_tags() is not what I am looking for, as I want to create a list of all tags used, but I don't want any formating.
I have found this on Trac and have applied the patch, but it still isn't what I am trying to do
What I was hoping it would do is return the array in the following format:
Array
(
[0] => Array
(
[term_id] => 1
[name] => Slug
[slug] => slug
[count] => 5
)
)At the moment I'm using get_tags() to get the tags, then using some parts of wp_generate_tag_cloud() to create the list
http://www.roganty.co.uk/blog/tag its still work in progress!
Maybe I could turn it in to some sort of plugin after I've finished?
Thanks for your help
Okay how about get_tags?
You've probably figured it out...
<?php
$mytags = get_tags() ;
if ($mytags) {
foreach($mytags as $tag) {
echo '<br /> id ' . $tag->term_id;
echo '<br />name ' . $tag->name;
echo '<br />slug ' . $tag->slug;
echo '<br />count ' . $tag->count;
}
}
?>

I have, thanks MichaelH
Here's the code I am using:
$tagcloud = get_tags(array('number' => 150, 'orderby' => 'count', 'order' => 'DESC', 'exclude' => '', 'include' => ''));
$counts = $tag_links = $tag_ids = $a = array();
foreach( $tagcloud as $tag ){
$counts[$tag->name] = $tag->count;
$tag_links[$tag->name] = get_tag_link($tag->term_id);
$tag_ids[$tag->name] = $tag->term_id;
}
uksort($counts, 'strnatcasecmp');
foreach( $counts as $tag=>$count ){
$tag_id = $tag_ids[$tag];
$tag_link = clean_url($tag_links[$tag]);
$tag = str_replace(' ', ' ', wp_specialchars( $tag ));
$a[] = "<a href=\"$tag_link\" class=\"tag-link-$tag_id\">$tag</a> ($count)"; # title=\"" .attribute_escape( sprintf( __('%d posts'), $count ) ). "\"
}
print "<ul class='wp-tag-cloud'>\r\n<li>";
print join("</li>\r\n<li>", $a);
print "</li>\r\n</ul>\r\n";Some of it is a direct copy from wp_generate_tag_cloud() in /wordpress/wp-includes/category-template.php
Thanks for your help.

<?php
$mytags = get_tags() ;
if ($mytags) {
foreach((get_the_tags()) as $tag) {
echo ' id ' . $tag->term_id;
echo 'name ' . $tag->name;
echo 'slug ' . $tag->slug;
echo 'count ' . $tag->count;
}
}
?>

This has already been fixed in the next version of WordPress.

Also, your code above is wrong. It should be this:
<?php
$mytags = get_the_tags() ;
if (!empty($mytags)) {
foreach($mytags as $tag) {
echo ' id ' . $tag->term_id;
echo 'name ' . $tag->name;
echo 'slug ' . $tag->slug;
echo 'count ' . $tag->count;
}
}
?>get_tags returns *all* the tags.
get_the_tags returns tags for the current post only (and should only be used in The Loop).
