Problem at tag cloud

Sat, 09 Feb 2013 05:00:38 +0000

I have some weird dash "-" on my tag widget. Anyone has any idea? Only appeared after some CSS edits. ( http://limoniyidir.com )

How would I embed a tag cloud on an external website?

Sat, 10 Nov 2012 16:38:53 +0000

I'm using the logrithmic tag cloud plugin... I understand it's probably easy if I knew a lot about PHP, but I don't, so step-by-step would be more helpful. I could create a PHP file but would need guidance.

Log tag widget is not appearing

Tue, 02 Oct 2012 17:09:22 +0000

In my test system, I have very few posts but several tags.

The built in linear tag cloud worked just fine. But when I added the log tag cloud, it doesn't appear.

I had them both installed at one point. I had hoped they were colliding somehow. But after removing the linear cloud, not tag cloud at all.

The log file does not show any errors.

I've kept the default values for the plugin.

I have a total of 8 popular tags, 5 tags used 2 times and 3 tags used once.

What might I be overlooking?

How do I make the Category filter affect the tag cloud?

Thu, 10 May 2012 19:11:11 +0000

Is there any way that selecting a category filter can also filter the tag cloud, not just the questions shown?

Its a bit strange to be looking at only one category but have tag's shown in the tag cloud that are for questions not shown in the filtered list.

Logarithmic Tag Cloud Plugin, Anyone?

Wed, 10 Aug 2011 11:25:26 +0000

Not to flood the board with these threads, but surely this is useful. Tag clouds should be sized logarithmically. They should not be sized linearly. To quote the blogger whose code I stole:

The reason why this is a poor choice to create a tag cloud is that tag frequency tends to not to be evenly distributed. Instead a few tags will usually have a very high frequency of use, and then it drops off rapidly. A tag cloud created using a tag frequency directly to determine font size will have a few tags that are very large, many tags that are very small, and almost nothing in between.

The difference can be seen between the latest addition to my q2a site (yes, a logarithmic tag cloud plugin) and the original (linear) q2a tag cloud plugin:

The top cloud is linear, the bottom is logarithmic. The bottom also is specifying a minimum font size, which helps keep the text readable. This is what this new plugin does. Oh, and it also allows you to sort the tags alphabetically (on by default):

Well, you get the idea. With lots of tags, the lower cloud looks a lot nicer, imo.

Quick suggestion for tag cloud...

Mon, 11 Apr 2011 13:22:59 +0000

Tag clouds tend to be listed in alphabetical order. This way you can find a specific tag by scanning the list, but can also see the most popular tags by the text size.

On that note, you ought to make a minimum text size for the tag cloud larger, around 8px I'd say. The smaller tags are unreadable and barely clickable at such a small size.
