Description
I am not sure if I am failing to understand something but it appears as though Tagadelic is limited to a single vocabulary and any branches of that vocabulary. Is it possible to use Tagadelic with multiple vocabularies and select the ones you want to include?
Do I need to submit this as a feature request?
Thanks,
Izzy

I have the exact same question. I've been playing with these views for about an hour now and I'm frustrated by the inability to produce a single tag cloud that includes all of my vocabularies.
I'm trying to reproduce the exact same tag cloud that this module is currently producing at http://example.com/tagadelic
as an independent block. This seems like such an obvious need that I feel like I must be missing something. Is it really not possible to build this block within the Views UI?
#2
Ok, I figured out how to do this with the Views Tagadelic module. The exact view settings were not intuitive. I may write up some instructions and submit them under that module.

Your feedback would be very valuable for us.
Could you post back some notes?
Do you know:
+ why it was hard to understand?
+ what you had to do to get it working in the end? Not the exact solution, but rather: what documentation did you read, what concepts did you have to understand, and so forth.
I am looking at improving tagadelic, so such feedback is usefull!

I looks like Views Tagadelic is for Drupal 5.x and there is no Drupal 6.x version at present. Were you using it on Drupal 5.x ?
Thanks,

u should check out the panels module, making a mini panel out of the view turns it into a block
#6
No need to check out panels. (besides, it is You, not u)
See my insdtruction video on advanced url parameters: http://revver.com/video/272483/tagadelic-urls-scaled/ (or http://berkes.blip.tv/file/257818/)

but yeh, I'll see ur "insdtruction"

Can we at least have a block that includes tags from all vocabs? It could be just an extra block that includes all vocabs. Thanks!
#9
I agree. It would be a great thing.

I wanted the same feature and have already implemented it on my own blog.
This patch adds a new block that shows all vocabularies. The back-end does not change significantly, as it already supports fetching tags from multiple vocabularies.
#12
patch looks good.
It needs some thesting though, so if anyone finds this patch importatnt for her or his project: please test it, look at the code and come back here with findings.
#13
I have tried the patch out, it works out fine except for the more theme function for which I had to add a default null value to the argument so the complete function looks like this:
function theme_tagadelic_more($vid = null) {return "<div class='more-link'>". l(t('more tags'), $vid ? "tagadelic/chunk/$vid" : "tagadelic") ."</div>";
}
I also added a conditional 'more tag' to the new 'all' block:
if (count($tags) >= variable_get('tagadelic_block_tags_'. $delta, 12)) {$blocks['content'] .= theme('tagadelic_more');//add more link
}
in stead of simply:
$blocks['content'] .= theme('tagadelic_more');#14
In case any one is interested I wrote this up in a separate module, so I can have the block without changing the tagadelic module.
#15
Can this feature be tested and added into the current release, as it seems several users have deemed this a valuable piece of functionality?
#16
madsph,
Thanks for creating the all vocabularies block as an addon for the Tagadelic module. It works great and provides the functionality right away. We are using it with Tagadelic 6.x-1.2

if people deem this an important function, then it should be tested by those people. :)
