Tagadelic: weighted tags in a tag cloud
Last modified: January 5, 2008 - 22:04
The tagadelic module generates a page with weighted tags, indicating how many times a category or tag has been used to categorize content on the site. The cool thing is that by merely altering font sizes, these lists suddenly gain a dimension: the more often a tag is used, the larger its font size. Tagadelic offers various ways to add terms and vocabularies in one tag cloud. By using the urls, you can create your own clouds pages. It also offers a sideblock for each taxonomy tree. Tagadelic offers dynamic URLs.
This module will work with any vocabulary, be it marked for free tagging or not. If you are not happy with the tags from non-free tagging vocabularies showing up, then use the URL tricks below.
You can:
- visit tagadelic/list/2,1,5 to get the vocabularies 2,1 and 5 listed as tag groups.
- visit tagadelic/chunk/2,1,5 to get a tag cloud of the tags in the vocabularies 2,1 and 5.
- file issues, read about known bugs, and download the latest version on the Tagadelic project page.

So I wanted one of those nice "tag clouds" of key words from my site. No problem! Drupal has the Tagadelic module. Once downloaded and unzipped to my /sites/all/modules folder, module activated, I was ready to go! ... Right? Well, no. This thing is so simple, no one seems to have documented the on switch ... I found a lot of code samples for various interesting implementations. I found its settings in my Drupal installation, but no how-to.
To save you the hours of futzing around I just went through here it is: go to YOURSITE/admin/build/block, scroll down and find the block inexplicably called "tags in Tags" (you can rename it in the "configure" options, I did), activate this where you'd like to have it. Done. Whew. We have tag cloud.
Tagadelic makes tag cloud by itself
I was quite confused by this page. So to clarify:
1) there is a module called tagadelic. It can make a tag cloud without any other contributed modules.
2) After you enable tagadelic, go to admin-settings.
pick sort by title, ascending
3) leave number of tags and number of levels at their default settings
4) surf to www.example.com/tagcloud (put your domain name instead of example.com). You will see the tagcloud there.
5) If the sizes are not correct (categories with more posts will have a larger font), check to make sure the css file is properly loaded.
6) If you see nothing at the tagcloud, make sure you have some posts that have some taxonomy (it does not have to be free tag)
other address
For me, right now, the www.example.com/tagcloud doesn't work. But www.example.com/tagadelic works.
