3d tagcloud

By michal frackowiak

Description

Most likely you are using tags on your wiki. And the TagCloud module.

Recently the module got a new parameter to turn on "3d mode". See below.

Code

[[module TagCloud mode="3d" width="500" height="500" maxFontSize="20" minFontSize="8"]]

See the documentation for the complete list of options.

Unicode doesn't work

If tag is with unicode chars, 3D cloud remove chars…

Not bad...

Enhancement request - "Pagecloud"

Kerry 1239339090|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

It would be great to have a "pagecloud" version which displays links to each of the pages on the wiki, either in a single category or multiple categories.

I have a private wiki with pages arranged by categories - it would be great to allow my users to navigate the pages within a category by a 3D cloud (as the pages are related but don't have any real order they should be read in etc.).

This is different from the tag-based concept for current tagcloud but it would be a great and creative way to navigate a wiki.

Any thoughts?

I would like that, too. Has anybody come up with an idea how to do this?

Does not work with some base appearance templates

Hugo Neto 1241704063|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I have tried it in two different sites, in one of them it works and on the other one it doesn't, saying that the character size is not adequate - it only works in 2D mode. I used 100% + 300% for the maxsize and minsize, but still does not work.

Any help?

Does not work with some base appearance templates (part II)

Just for better clarification, the template in use is "Gila" - this is on the site where i can't put the 3d tag cloud to work.

Supremely Helpful

Thanks a lot, it seems to be working perfectly, my page is only new but it already looks better.

This is really cool!

Cannot change the color of the 3D tag cloud

Leo Pang 1244850286|%e %b %Y, %H:%M %Z|agohover

I was trying to change the minColor and maxColor to make it match the color theme of my web site, but it didn't work. Anybody know why? The following is my code and site:

[[module TagCloud mode="3d" width="230" height="230" maxFontSize="16" minFontSize="8" minColor=
"0, 102, 255" maxColor="102, 204, 0"]]

I cannot see your used code ( is there realy a linebreak inside? ) - but what I see are the blanks after the commas in the parameters of your color attributes:

Here is the example from above:

[[module TagCloud minFontSize="1em" maxFontSize="2em" maxColor="8,8,8" minColor="200,200,228" category="news"]]

==> there is no linebreak and no space after the commas!

Helmuti,

Thanks for the help. I have tried removing the space after the commas in the parameters of color attributes, but it it didn't do anything. You are the administrator of my site. You can try it yourself.

It was the line break in the code and a space inside...

Have a look!

PS: great colors!

Helmuti,

Yes, it works now! Thanks for pointing out the line-break, I didn't pay attention to it.

BTW, how to become a featured site on WikiDot front page? I believe my site is now a good showcase of wikidot features and hot content. Could you recommend my site to the committee?

Is centering possible?

I'm trying to center the 3D tag cloud on my page. How would you go about it?

@ Mr Roogle
Put a [[=]] before your [[module TagCloud...]] and [[/=]] after it. I had the same problem and it took me a little while to work it out as well.

[[=]]
[[module TagCloud mode="3d" width="600" height="600" maxFontSize="20" minFontSize="8"  minColor="0,0,255" maxColor="0,255,0"]]
[[/=]]
