1. Fantastic. Thanks for releasing this. As soon as I saw your first post about it I hoped you’d get this into a plugin. Great work.

2. hey roy..
   i like the idea but i’m losing my style sheet when i activate your plugin? i’m up to date version wise.. i’ve got very few plugins enabled..? have you heard anything similar?

   Comment by david windham — March 16, 2008 @ 4:14 pm

3. @David: There appears to be a closing tag missing for one of the scripts in your blog’s header. Apparently my plugin adding further code to the header caused that to act up. I’m pretty sure that if you fix that, WP Cumulus will work fine.

   Comment by Roy — March 17, 2008 @ 9:31 am

4. Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now this is what I call a tag cloud. Works like a charm. Initially I had the same problem as David but I was able to fix it. In my case it was the lightbox plugin that interferred with the wp_cumulus

   @David: Look at your source code without the wp_cumulus on your page. You will see which plugin is ‘incorrect’. Disable it and put the wp_cumulus code back in.

6. Hi,

   Thanks for a fun plugin!

   But I can’t seem to get this working. My blog is in Japanese. Will it work with multi-byte? I’ve tried using the other tagcloud.swf as well.

   You can check out the page here.
   http://www.ad-minister.net/tagcloud2/

   For some reason, the whole source code of that page has vanished…

7. Hi Yoichi. I personally have no experience in dealing with the japanese character set in Flash. However, even if the tag cloud doesn’t display your language I can not think of a reason why it should kill the entire page. Have you tried deselecting the “insert SWFObject…” setting in the options panel?

   Comment by Roy — March 19, 2008 @ 8:43 am

8. Hi Roy,

   Thanks for your quick response and also sending over the new tagcloud.swf file.

   But unfortunately it is still not working. The insert SWFObject…” setting has been deselected since I do have another plugin using it.

   Strange…

    Comment by Roy — March 19, 2008 @ 4:43 pm

12. “My theme/site appears not to like this plugin. It’s not displaying correctly.
    First thing you should try is to turn off the “Insert SWFObject include into header” option. This will probably render the plugin inoperable, but your blog should still work. If this fixes the issue then please try adding the SWFObject code manually into your blog’s header.php (just before the tag, and only if it’s not already there).”

19. Hi German. I can actually see the tag cloud on the “tags” page of your site, as well as underneath the main content. It is however white on a white background and very hard to spot. Also, you have only a single tag available. Try writing some content and adding a few more tags.

    I changed the default setting to non-transparent in version 1.02 to avoid this type of confusion.

30. Hi again
    Some idea for future version of wp-cumulus :
    -sometimes, tags are staked, and it is dificult to see tags behind the other. Maybe improved random tags 3d distribution…
    -multicolors tags?
    -fastest travel to a tag in the back of “3d sphere”.

    Comment by RZ1 — April 9, 2008 @ 9:34 pm

31. Hi

    Great plugin ! Even with the speed of tags being a bit too high

    Too bad i can’t make it work with my theme, WP-Premium (cf. demo here http://niss.gdc-hebergement.fr/WP/index.php?wptheme=WP_Premium_(niss) ). The header trick breaks the news slideshow (in flash too) and without modifying the header, i just see tags in text format (in my sidebar). I’m using WP 2.5 too.

    Any idea of a solution for this ?

33. Hi Stromb. Have you tried manually adding in the SWFObject lines into your header? There appears to be a lot of javascript in that theme, so my guess is that SWFObject doesn’t play nice with one of the other scripts. You could try adding in the lines (see above) at different places inbetween <head> and </head> in your theme’s header.php.

    Comment by Roy — April 15, 2008 @ 8:09 am

38. Hi Rob

    I followed instructions on this page.

    When using first rule => cf. step 2 :
    Add the following code anywhere in your theme to display the cloud. This can be used to add WP Cumulus to your sidebar, although it may not actually be wide enough in many cases to keep the tags readable.

    It just displays the cloud tag in html

    So i used the solution in the FAQ => cf. My theme/site appears not to like this plugin. It’s not displaying correctly.
    and then it explodes my flash slideshow (each items of the slideshow appeared in html one after each other etc…)

    Sadly, even if i uderstand a bit code, i’m not a coder. Yes this Theme use a few script and i’m trying to see with his creator if he has a solution.

    If you can, a good thing would be to make of it a widget for sidebar use. But it’s perhaps more complicated than it seems…
    I’ll try to test again with my header to see if by chance it works. Anyway, that’s stil a great plug-in

    Comment by Stromb — April 15, 2008 @ 6:03 pm

39. Sorry for long post, you may delete the last one.

    Ok, i found what was the problem … It was the CTC Plug-in … (Configurable tag cloud). Now it runs very well in the sidebar with just cumulus insert php code. And with the slideshow in parallel in the header.

    Now my only trouble with the cloud is it’s wider than higher, landscape style. But to insert it in a sidebar, it would be better if it was higher than wider, portrait style. My sidebar is already 320 pix wide, and i can’t expand it anymore.
    I’ve tried to put it under the slideshow for instance, and it’s not nice anymore as both flash object are too big (and my theme in this case feels broken…).
    If i change the size of the cloud, let’s say 320 * 640, tags are still like in a small landscape bubble, they don’t expand up and down if you see what i mean.

    After that, if you allow me a critic, of course the speed of the cloud, which prevent from having time to read tags unless you put your mouse on them. I mean it’s a cloud, not a storm The way it moves, it also distract attention too much.

    Comment by Stromb — April 15, 2008 @ 6:36 pm

40. Hi Stromb. Thanks for looking into this. I’ll try the CTC plugin and see if I can somehow get the two to play nice. The plugin feeds the output from WP’s standard tag cloud template tags to the flash movie, so if any plugin alters that output I can see how things would go haywire.

    As for the aspect ratio of the flash movie, I’m afraid that, considering how it’s a sphere and text is usually written horizontally, there’s actually very little I can do about it. One of my reasons for not including a widget is the fact that it doesn’t really work on a sidebar.

    I’ll see if I can incorporate a speed control in furure versions. I personally feel it’s just fine this way though. Setting it to lower speeds Could make navigating to the tags furthest away in the background sluggish.

    Comment by Roy — April 15, 2008 @ 7:42 pm

41. Couldn’t you shape the sphere like an egg ? (in vertical position)

    Or perhaps simply making 2 spheres, like an 8, with tag from a to m in sphere 1 and tags from n to z in sphere 2 (ok, i’m not a coder … ) This way in a sidebar it’s easier to display the flash could vertically.

    I mostly use the CTC plugin to gave a larger size to tags, as i have many (60 and more coming) and this helps creating a distingo between some tags who would be too much of the same size.

    In my case, it’s mostly the theme i use and the idea i have of the overall aspect which “blocks” me. So all in all, it’s not really your plugin fault

    I could also reduce the size of the slideshow, so to put it in my 320 wide sidebar, and then putting the flagcloud (hmm, nice name …) at the place of the slidshow you may say … hmm, i’ll try to see what it does.

    As for the speed, yes, it still have to be a bit nervous. Perhaps it’s just me which is disturbed by the way it turns (when there’s no mouse over).

43. Hi Roy - excellent work on this plugin, exactly what I was looking for! Thanks.

    I only wish that it could be customised a little further to slow down the rotation speed, or disable rotation completely until mouseover and then disable again on mouseout. It’s a little too distracting when its spinning wildly if you have it in the sidebar or alongside primary content.

    Also would love better support for more than the default 40 tags - I find if I increase the number to around 60 then they start to overlay pretty badly.

    Keep it up!

    Thanks

    Comment by David — April 21, 2008 @ 2:18 pm

45. I also have a third suggestion for future versions. Can you make it so that when you mouse over an item it stops moving. That way you can get to all the tags even if they are overlapping and you don’t have to play catch when it moves away from your mouse.

    Just an idea!

    Pingback by Cory Bohon » Tag cloudiness — April 25, 2008 @ 4:03 pm

47. thanks for a great plugin!

    one suggestion: could you add an option to limit the number of tags?

    I’d like to set the cloud to only show the 10 most used tags, or something similar like that.

    Also, because tags in the cloud often overlap, it would be great if you point on a tag with your mouse, it not only stops spinning, but zooms in on the tag to make it legible.

    thanks!

If the user reloaded the page manually then it loaded the style sheet. I can reproduce this at will when the plugin is activated. I hope this helps you debug it more.

89. Hi Nicelover. Currently, doing a chinese version is not an option for me. Not only do I lack the right fonts, but embedding thousands of characters would make the plugin very heavy and slow.

    But after all I cannot display the Japanese definitely.
    I want to help with Japanization if good, but how will?

     For me, this is the best plugin/widget I ever met. I means, in the term of installation.

     on this URL. Is there any problem with my TAGs ?

[...] WP Cumulus - I am not one for flashy stuff on my website however this gem of a plugin caught my eye while visiting justtellmewhy.com that I discussed in an earlier article.  This turns your Wordpress tag cloud into a nice rotating flash display.  You can see it in action in my sidebar.  You have full control over the speed and style of the tags and if your reader doesn’t have flash installed they will just see the normal tag cloud.

     Comment by Ved — July 14, 2008 @ 1:38 pm

112. @Ved: My guess is that it has something to with permalinks. Try disabling those for a moment and see if that helps. Other than that there’s very little I can think of. Perhaps the blog URL and WP install settings…

114. I have been using Wordpress for a long time and when I started, I used “categories” as my solution for “tags”. So, this is yet another vote for “category” support. my “tag cloud” is here (http://thesalmonfarm.org/blog/tagcloud/) and even though is uses categories under the covers, purpose and result is in deed a tag cloud. I suspect there are others, like me, that used categories as tags (even if we should have changed). Thanks !

     Comment by Roy — July 16, 2008 @ 2:48 pm

119. Hi Roy,
     Thank you for this great plugin, that I use on my website since a few months without any problems…
     (Sorry for my english, I’m only a french lawyer !).
     I’m using IE7, and since I have upgraded Cumulus to 1.1, your tags-cloud appear (in the widget and the page) only on the first load of my site : if I go on another page end comme back on my homepage, nothing appears…
     I just tested on FF, it’s OK : so can you explain to me ig there is something special to do to make it work correctly on IE7 ?
     Thank you very much - and sorry again for this poor english…

120. Your plugin is really fantastic AND very special.

     Maybe its too good - and everybody will always look at those moving words, and nobody will look at the content of my webopage. (www.hannes-urdl.at)

     The good thing is: Your tag cloud provides my content.

     Thank you really.

     Greetings from Austria.

126. Hi Roy,

     Brilliant plugin you’ve got here. I have a question though. Would it be possible to display the flash in a post? I have a revolving featured articles (they’re just posts) section on my WP site and would love to display it.

     Cheers!

     Comment by OMGriffin — July 21, 2008 @ 5:44 pm

127. Hi OMGriffin. That was actually the very first thing the plugin could do. Using the [WP-CUMULUS] “tag” you can place the sphere anywhere in a post or page. You do however have a single set of settings (under ’settings’->’WP-Cumulus’) for all instances you create this way (all besides the widget).

     Comment by Roy — July 21, 2008 @ 6:19 pm

128. Thanks for this plugin !

     I have added a feature in order to display default tag cloud when javascript is deactivated

     Replace line 93 by :

     $flashtag .= ”;
     $defaultCloud = wp_tag_cloud(array(’format’=>’array’));
     foreach ($defaultCloud as $defaultTag)
     {
     $flashtag .= $defaultTag.’ ‘;
     }
     $flashtag .= ”;

     It’s more accessible

     Thanks again !

     Comment by teles — July 22, 2008 @ 8:28 pm

129. Hi Teles. I’m not quite sure what your code improves, as the original plugin already outputs the regular tag cloud as alternate content for the flash… I’ll look into it when I have time. Tnx.
