Channel parameter error in Solspace tag cloud

Question

I am using v. 5.0.0 of the Solspace tag module in EE3, and when I use the channel parameter in the tag cloud, I get the following errors:

Notice

Undefined property: Tag::$sc
user/addons/tag/mod.tag.php, line 2331

Trying to get property of non-object
user/addons/tag/mod.tag.php, line 2331

Trying to get property of non-object
user/addons/tag/mod.tag.php, line 2331

Here's the code I'm using:

{exp:tag:cloud tag_group_name="my_group" channel="my_channel1|my_channel2" orderby="tag_name" rank_by="entries" sort="asc" start="12" step="8" groups="5"}
<li><a href="{path="my_channel/my_group"}/{websafe_tag}" style="font-size: {step}px;" title="{tag}: {count} entries">{tag}</a></li>
{/exp:tag:cloud}

The above code worked with v. 4.2.9 & EE2. If I remove the channel="my_channel" parameter then the errors go away. I also noticed that the channel parameter is not listed in the current documentation or the 4.2.9 documentation, but it still worked before. Has this parameter been removed?

Answer 1

I can reproduce this error with Tag 5.0.0 in EE 3.0.0. This will be reported as a bug to our team. In the meantime, you can go in mod.tag.php and replace every mention of

$this->sc->db->channel_name

to

'channel_name'

There's about two places where this string is found in the file.
