Not sure what's going on here, but Tagadelic seems to ignore the setting for the number of tags to show. I've set the value to 20 and to 99 and Tagadelic still shows about 60 entries in my Tag Cloud block.

Previously, I'd successfully patched the module to fix a bug where it ignored the setting for "Number of levels" and always used 6. That trivial patch works fine. I don't know if the "Amount of tags" issue is a bug like that was, or if I did something wrong (or perhaps there's some sort of caching problem?).

Bottom line: I change the "Amount of tags" value from 60 to another number, click "Save configuration", and the number of tags in the cloud remains unchanged.

Thanks.

is this a dupe of http://drupal.org/node/121900 ?

No, it's NOT a dupe.

That patch worked to fix the fact that the # of levels was being ignored.

This issue states that the # of tags is apparently being ignored.

Please provide patches, if you find any issues.

Title: Seems to ignore setting for # of tags to show » TWO places to set # of tags; one overrides other!

Aha!

There are two separate places you can tell it how many tags to show! It ignores the value you enter in the "Settings" screen for Tagadelic. It uses the setting in the Block Configuration screen instead!

Yet the number of levels is set in the "Settings" screen for Tagadelic, not in the Block screen.

Why are the settings scattered about and duplicated like that?

Are you the author?

Are you asking me, a user, to provide a patch??

Sorry, man, I have no idea how you want to address this.

A simple workaround: Warn users in the documentation to ignore the number-of-tags setting in the Settings screen and use the number-of-tags setting in the Block screen instead.

OK, I was wrong. It turns out that the setting for the Module affects the number of tags shown on any Tagadelic Page (like tagadelic/chunk/1 or tagadelic/list/1) whereas the setting for the Block affects that Tagadelic block.

Sorry! (In my partial defence, this distinction was not documented.)
