Enjoy the tags, or else

I

spent most of a long, boring day at work modding Alex Ibrado’s Tumblr tag cloud script to insert a tag blurb into the bottom of your posts, which if there was a way to do it already, i couldn’t see an obvious option for it; So you better fucking enjoy the tags. A tiny picture of Rick Astley is used to make the function call, but it could just have well been an empty icon:

[edit]: I made a quick change in the script again today to allow it to include all types of posts (originally it was only grabbing the tags for regular or “text” posts). So far it seems to work. To implement this in your script, copypaste and update these lines:

replace function buildCloud with:

function buildCloud() {
  cloud_request = new JSONscriptRequest(CLOUD_JSON_URL + '?callback=tumblrCallback&start='+cloud_done+'&num='+CLOUD_JSON_MAX);
  cloud_request.buildScriptTag();
  cloud_request.addScriptTag();
}

after this line in function tumblrCallback:

    var ttext = obj['posts'][i]['regular-title'];

add this:

    if(typeof(ttext) == 'undefined')
        ttext = turl;

which will add the url as the post title if it is a non-regular type post.
