 Category/search/news/commenters/XFields cloud |
 |
This plugin shows a category cloud based on the number of news per category, a news cloud based on the number of views per article, a commenters cloud based on the comments left per author or a XFields cloud based on the number of values per XField.
The more news in the category/views per article the bigger it gets:
Cat 1 Cat 4 Cat 3
Cat 2 Cat 6 Cat 5
If you are using the search history plugin you can show a search cloud, too.
Installation:
1. Upload the plugin, activate it and go to "Options -> Category cloud" to change the settings.
2. Put show_the_cloud($cloud, $limit, $orderby, $min_size, $max_size, $start, $end); where you want to show the cloud.
3. Explanation:
 |  | $cloud => Used to define what to show. (defaults to 'category')
'category' - shows the category cloud
'news' - shows the news cloud
'search' - shows the search cloud (if available)
'commenters' - shows the commenters cloud
'xfield:my_xfield' - shows the cloud for the XField "my_xfield"
$limit => Used to define how much to show. (defaults to '0')
0 - show everything
25 - show the top 25 items
$orderby => Used to define how to show the data. (defaults to 'asc')
'asc' - order ascending
'desc' - order descending
'random' - order randomly
$min_size => Used to define the minimum font size. (defaults to '10')
'10' - font size 10
$max_size => Used to define the maximum font size. (defaults to '30')
'30' - font size 30
$start => Used to define the beginning of the cloud, only available in news/commenters cloud. (defaults to 'false' -> show everything)
$end => Used to define the end of the cloud, only available in news/commenters cloud. (defaults to 'false' -> show everything)
Example code:
1. show_the_cloud($cloud = 'news', $limit = 25, $orderby = 'random', $min_size = '9', $max_size = '25');
2. show_the_cloud($cloud = 'xfield:music', $limit = 10, $orderby = 'asc', $min_size = '10', $max_size = '30');
3. show_the_cloud($cloud = 'commenters', $limit = 10, $orderby = 'asc', $min_size = '10', $max_size = '30', $start = time() - (3600 * 24 * 30), $end = time());
(Third example shows commenters cloud of the last 30 days.) |

Wow:) That's a cool feature:D Thanks!
Is it possible to modify to cloud more things?
I'm thinking xfield values and searchwords, maybe based on the search history plug in you've created?

Dude, that's JUST what I needed for this project I've been working on. I'm going to test that here in the next few days and I'll show you it up and working.

It's not yet working correctly. There's a bug when sorting the input. I'll fix it and add a "news" cloud to it.

A news cloud? 
Sounds cool but how do you want to sort that? On views?

Yes, on views. And I'm planning to put in a variable to limit the output. So if you have 500 news you can only display the top 20 or whatever.
No need for a news cloud?

Definitely a need for a news cloud. News cloud filtered by views would be AWESOME. However, long {title}'s might make it messy for some people. Think short title would work with this? Truncating the {title} to keep things flowing nicely?

News cloud is working now including the possibility to cut the title after a certain number of words.

Dude, you went above and beyond on this. This thing is amazing. I can't even comprehend or keep up with your brilliance. What inspired you to make something as original and cool as this? Cutephp's Cutenews can't even compare with you on the scene with Cutenews.ru!

I bet this has more flexibility than any wordpress plugin! Cool, a commenters cloud. I'm glad I haven't installed it yet.. it seems this is still an ongoing work in progress for you lol. It keeps getting fancier and fancier.

I'd say it's finished as I'm getting out of ideas right now.
Saszoo suggested using XFields as input but I don't see how a certain XField can be used as a cloud.
