Add tag image and order by slug

    Hi all,
    first of all I want to thank tugbucket for this very useful plugin.

    My needs are two: the former is to order by tag slug instead of tag name because I’d like to feel free to change the name of my tags without worrying about their ordering. Is it possible? If so, could someone please address me to the right piece of code to adapt?

    The latter need is to show the tag image next to the tag name (aligned on the left); I’ve installed a plugin (Taxonomy images) that added images to my tags… may I ask if is possible to give me some hints about where to customize multi-column tag map code with the tag image retrieval instructions?

    Thank you in advance,
    Nicola

    These are both specific to your needs so I will not add these to the core plugin. Please read the instructions on how to modify the functions.php file.

    1) Don’t know if this will work but the initial order si set by:
    $tags = get_terms('post_tag', 'order=ASC&hide_empty='.$show_empty.'');

    it uses: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_terms

    so you need to add “orderby slug” to it.

    Word of caution, ordering by slug instead of name will likely cause the “name divider” option to break but, I doubt you are using it anyway.

    2) First, I don’t change this plugin to ‘work’ with any other plugins and I explain why here: http://wordpress.org/plugins/multi-column-tag-map/faq/

    Looking at that plugin, looks like you should be able to do something like, in between

    /* =====  if hide = yes ===== */
...
/* =====  toggle link ===== */

    you’ll see where the links are made. You’ll see several places where lines like this are:

    $list .= '<li><a title="' . $name . '" href="' . $url . '">' . $name . '</a>'. $mctagmap_count . $mctagmap_description . '</li>';

    and just by actually reading their instructions, you probably could do:

    $list .= '<li>'.wp_get_attachment_image( $term->image_id, 'detail' ).'<a title="' . $name . '" href="' . $url . '">' . $name . '</a>'. $mctagmap_count . $mctagmap_description . '</li>';
