Tag Cumulus Module v0.1 for SWCMS

Module Created by: J. Harvey, the SWCMS Team , tagcloud.swf created by Roy Tanck.
Original Script From: www.roytanck.com
v.0.1 Created on: 2/21/2009
v.0.2 2/22/2009  small fix for url to cloud.swf bug if using url method 2
   
Description:
This module installs a "Tag Cumulus" flash movie in the sidebar. This is the popular Word Press WP-Cumulus plugin repurposed for SWCMS. Check the link above on how to style or change font colors, adjust accordingly to your template.

The admin settings for the default sidebar tags will work with this module. You can adjust font max size and how many tags appear there.

Note:
This module installs swfobject.js along with the flash file to work so if your site is already using swfobject you can keep the module from installing it by opening "tag_swcumulus_init.php" commenting out ("//" without quotes) line 14
"module_add_action_tpl('tpl_pligg_pre_title_lightbox', tag_swcumulus_tpl_path . '/tag_swcumulus_js.tpl');".

   
How to Install:
• Download from the SWCMS module store or download to PC, unzip, and upload folder to your SWCMS module folder.
• Install module via the admin/module management page

• If you want to disable the default sidebar tags comment out or remove the following in your templates directory/your template/sidebar.tpl file:
{if $Enable_Tags eq 'true'} {assign var=sidebar_module value="tags"}{include file=$the_template_sidebar_modules."/wrapper2.tpl"} {/if}

This is a really great add on, functional and it looks fantastic. Kudos to Roy Tanck!
The only draw back is the swf file + swfobject will add 40kb to your webpage.

Uploaded V.0.2
Small fix to the url to cloud.swf in 'tags_swcumulus_sidebar.tpl' in the module's templates folder.
It seems to only be a problem when viewing a story page using url method 2.

Line 21 {$my_base_url} was added right before {$my_pligg_base}
var so = new SWFObject("{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/modules/tag_swcumulus/flash/tagcloud.swf", "tagcloud", "250", "250", "7", "#FFFFFF");

Hello catchpen,

Thanks for this Module, seems to be really good. But I have a problem with it in tu actualidad - noticias de Argentina, sometimes it's list the tags, but other times doesn't.

PD: hello everybody, this is my first post.

Hi desarrollo,

 It looks like a conflict with the story and summary pages with your template, not sure. That template is an alpha release so try to switch to yget when your site isn't busy to see if the module works then.

Nice site, I might use that template!

Hi catchpen,

I change the template, but it seams that the problem continues. I will search later, will let you now.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Bye
