How do I create multiple instances of this block?

Err, I don't know why one would want multiple instances. Maybe you want something like different Cumulus for different vocabularies?

Subscribing.

Much needed.

...

I believe it is a feature request.

And yes I'm voting for it.

me too voting, we need separate block for each vocabulary!

I think, it should also be possible to create multiple instances with the same vocabulary. Unfortunately, cumulus seems to break tagadelic so that the "more tags" link there is pretty useless - except when there would be another Cumulus.

subscribing - this would be a great feature. Maybe change cumulus to work inside views to customize what shows up?

Can you give a feedback what is not working with multiblock?

Ok got the error with multiblock module.I asked cause I have different issue. The cloned block was just a non flashed block (tagadelic). Pitty. Although I don't think for the author is a lot of work to make it multiblock-enabled.

Even I tried and failed. lets just wait for the authot to give it a try and add this functionality.

+1 for me too. It looks to be possible within Wordpress so it should be possible in Drupal. I'd need it for version 5, though.

Thank you for the cool module! multiple blocks can be useful in cases of multiple vocabs, multiple sites etc.

+1 for me too.
Thanks

Is that something with the "vid"(I saw this variable in the module file)? Like unique key for the block or somethin? Should we change the vid for various block?

+1 . me too . need to implement multiple vocabulary with different view. Waiting for the feture request.

Here is a patch to support http://drupal.org/project/multiblock module.
It depends on swfobject 2.2.

1. Download it from http://code.google.com/p/swfobject/
2. Unzip it
3. Rename swfobject.js as cumulus.js
4. Replace pratulkalia cumul.js by above one

Forgot to set status to "needs review"

The multiple instances of cumulus is solved by giving various objects to swf files. Solution accquired.

What do you mean ?
How do you give various objects to swf files with different settings for each block ?

hi actually we tried this thing . when creating multiple blocks the swf object accept value from one cumulus block only. So we have to alter the swf object

variables that is passed to flash object. We have tried for 3 blocks. soon the patch will be put for sample

Has somebody reviewed my patch ?

Yes i have...
it works :-)

I just did it, so i cannot be much accurate, but everything went fine, i correctly see the two instances, they are about different vocabularies for different languages.
Thank you very much
Da.

Thanks you for the patch.
I have tested the patch and it works fine for two different vocabularies and different languages.

I have a problem with the background color. It doesn't work anymore.
I set it to white (ffffff) and it becomes some sort of blue/green.

Do you know this problem?

Check out this patch that makes Cumulus a views style plugin:

http://drupal.org/node/347883#comment-2446732

That way you can have multiple blocks (as views blocks) and display anything you want.

I think you forgot in the patch to add the $multi_id suffix to the persistent variables used in function theme_cumulus_weighted.

ekrispin, can you please post the problem you found in the same thread as the patch? http://drupal.org/node/347883

I'm talking about this patch that makes the support for multiblock, not the patch for views, and this is the channel for that fix.

As the new version will be stborcherts Views patch aschiwi is correct that you can build multiple views blocks as soons as there is views support. So I am closing this as by design for the old version.

#347883: Cumulus as a Views' style?

Implemented this patch in to 1.5 cumulus version, works smooth!
