Tags on index.tpl

On the actual tags page (the one that shows latest and popular tags), the Tag Clouds work,

but when I put:

Code:

---

<div class="section" style="width:96%;margin: 0.5em auto;">

<div class="hd">
<div class="hd-l">Popular Tags</div>
</div>

<div style="margin: 1em;">{$popular_tags}</div>

</div>

---

on index.tpl, all that shows is the heading Popular Tags, and no tag cloud is generated.
Could someone help?

Thanks in advance,
Mike

The index.php file does not parse the tags. If you are wanting the tags to be used in that file, you will need to custom write that in (for version 2.6).

How would I go about editing the index.php file to parse tags.
Don't have much knowledge of Zend :P

You can't edit the index.php file directly. You would have to either create (or have someone create) a custom module that will allow for that.
