Description
Currently the .info file identifies tagadelic as a dependency, meaning you have to install it to use community_tags. While I can see that most sites would want to use both modules, and that the tag cloud block obviously need tagadelic, it seems like I should be able to install community_tags on its own.
As long as we're nitpicking, it probably SHOULD list taxonomy as a dependency.
#1
I fully agree. Tagadelic is used for tags visualization, but I think that would be good to consider removing the Tagadelic dependency, and provide an alternative visualization if Tagadelic is not enabled.
#2
I closed #412940: Tagadelic Dependence? as a dup of this.
#3
I think this is an obvious need. I committed views integration, so it is possible that views could provide the alternate visualization.
It may not be trivial to allow for both, since they have different data gathering methods.
#4
Removing tagadelic is proposed in this issue for a 2.x branch #649818: Community Tags 2.0.
Though I'd be OK with the requirement being dropped in the 1.x branch
#5
the reason why I would put it in 2.0 is because in it's current incarnation the Tagadelic display is one of the key features of the module, and I do not want to cause anyone issues when upgrading between minor releases.
