Tag Cloud Generator Update
Less than 24 hrs and 40 downloads later… I have my first update based on user feedback.
Changes
- Lesser categories are the smallest size (drmike)
- Default sort order changed from alphabetical to biggest first, like the wordpress.com tag pages (fracas)
- See my tag cloud to see what I mean
- There is a hidden setting for changing it back to alphabetical
- Blog url has “http://” prefilled the first time the program is run (urban semiotic)
- tagcloud_css.html comments corrected (urban semiotic)
- When the advanced “display count” is used, it is no longer part of the link
- Added “line-height” to CSS styles so the cloud isn’t as messy
Known Issues
- There may be a problem with categories that have accent characters (entomoagricola)
- Add support for *any* WordPress MU site (edublogs/uniblogs) (mpb)
My three tags with ampersands in them don’t connect to anything – is this the same problem as with accent characters? Is there something I can change in the coding so that they’ll work?
dude, loving the alphabetical so the big stuff pops throughout.
rating by size is kinda boring IMO.
thanks for leaving in the loophole…though i snagged in on your original, so hopefully i won’t need to change anything
ick. not liking the (numbers) next to each tag to show how many posts it has.
is that part of the new tweak as well?
Yes, I agree that the random sizing in alphabetial order is much more visually interesting. So I’m also glad I’ve got the original. Ah well, can’t please all the people all the time – it’s still a great option to have. Thanks again.
@brahnamin: the number is a setting you can tweak, off by default.
@azahar: Quite likely the same problem. Unfortunately there’s nothing you can do on your side to fix things, I’ll have to change the program to be able to handle things like that.
Another thing I should watch for is if someone uses a language other than english in their dashboard.
