Hi, I'm trying to use the tag cloud summary with views to display tags from a particular vocabulary/taxonomy channel. However, it is displaying full body posts which are in that vocabulary. How can I just show the tags? I have "tag cloud summary" selected for view type.

Thanks.

alas, you can't do a tag cloud all nodes in a term. the irony.

in general, you must end your View in term_id argument and set that to Summary and don't pass that arg.

I got this to work, almost...

  • Make a view (obviously :-) I used both "Provide page view" and "Block view", not sure if I need both, and "View type" >> "Bonus tag cloud summary"
  • Add fields >> "Taxonomy: Terms for (a couple of my terms)"
  • Then I read Moshe's cryptic comment three times :-) and added an Argument: "Taxonomy Term ID" >> "Summary sorted as view"
  • I added a filter by node type, and voila! I had a tag cloud. Sort of. Except all the tags are the same size :-( And I get mulitples of the tags that are used more than once
  • ...and if I try "Summary, unsorted" for the argument, the tags have different sizes according to frequency, but I get tags from all my vocabularies. Ditto for "Summary sorted descending" and "Summary sorted ascending"
  • "Return page not found" return page not found, "Use empty text" gives an empty page, and "Display all vaiues" gives me the node list back again

i recently removed that non functioning module from the bonus pack. maybe try node cloud module.

This module works perfectly fine. Make sure your argument is "Term: ID" , Summary, Unsorted. To only show Tags for a certain vocabulary go into Filters and select " Vocabulary Name "is" (your desired vocab). The only thing "non-functioning" here is your patience to learn Drupal.

Thank You for Your Help. I was able to create a tag cloud by this. But I still do have one problem: The links in my tag cloude are not correct.
For example: The correct link is http://my-domain.de/?q=taxonomy/term/3. The link inside the cloud is http://my-domain.de/?q=/3. If I activate clean URL's, the Tag links to http://3/. Does anybody know, what I did wrong?

Project: Views Bonus Pack » Views (for Drupal 7)

I faced similar problem (bad link). But i don't use Bonus Pack.

  • I create a view using "Block view" and "View type" >> "List view"
  • Add fields >> "Taxonomy: Terms for (a couple of my terms)"
  • Then I added an Argument: "Taxonomy: Term ID" >> "Summary sorted as view"
  • I added a filter: Taxonomy: Vocabulary Name

I see in this block all terms for this vocabulary with provision for amount clinging nodes towards term. But link is not correct. :(

While i have changed function views_get_summary_link on following:

function views_get_summary_link($argtype, $item, $base) {
$arginfo = _views_get_arguments();
if($argtype="taxid") $base = check_url(url('taxonomy/term',null,null,true));
return $arginfo[$argtype]['handler']('link', $item, $argtype, $base);
}
