Description
In the drop down menu when trying to make a view use views_cloud there is no cloud weight field, how do I add that?
#1
You need to add a field to your view which is a numeric type. Once you've added that, it should show up as an option in the cloud weight field. Essentially, this is how you tell the Views Cloud module which criteria to use to determine the weights of each item. Typically it would be something like "Node: Comment count", "Node statistics: total views" or so-on.

But what do I add for it to make a taxonomy cloud?
#3
Excellent question! I kind-of deliberately avoided that in my examples in #1... because I don't know the answer!
See the issue at http://drupal.org/node/311236 where I was trying to reproduce the cloud which is pictured on the module's homepage.

I'd like to create a cloud from my organic groups, ordered by the number of members. I added this field but i can not choose it in the cloud weight field. Is there anybody who uses views cloud for his organic groups?
#5
I have the same issue as Witzel. I want to create a cloud of the organic groups in my website using the postcount for the groups as weight field. But the postcount can't be selected (isn't available) in the cloud-style plugin.
