Description
added the cumulus.js to the cumulus folder as per the read me but still no animation
are there dependencies on other modules? please advise...

#1
update: I'm not sure why but the cloud began working seemingly randomly. However i am unable to determine the vocabulary ID setting. Where do I find the number associated with the my community management category. The taxonomy categories configuration does not include any numbers. All the number I have tried except 1 result in no terms displayed. Please advise.
#2
Ok so I read somewhere that the category id is located in the url once you have clicked edit vocabulary in admin-->categories.
"you can find out by going to administer -> categories -> edit Vocabulary. The url will be something like:
// http://localhost/admin/taxonomy/edit/vocabulary/1 - the number one is the Vocabulary ID in this case"
It would seem to me smart to include that number in admin/content/taxonomy or at least mention that it can be found in the url in the read me/install.txt for those of us who don't know where to find the number. It's a small thing but I spent hours trying to figure it out.
Also, I suspect that the cumulus tag cloud began working after I installed swf tools and flash node. Not sure but I think that this may have been the reason why it started working. I haven't seen any documentation saying that cumulus is dependent.

Try to turn off caching of blocks if it's enabled. It helps me.

Hello
I have the same problem : there is no flash animation, but just regular links...
I tried to install swf tools and flash node, but nothing more...
The blocks are displayed for all users...
My site is here : http://servajeann.free.fr
Thanks !
edit : it works now...
I changed the location of the module from sites/default/modules to sites/all/module...
#5
When viewing the site without logging in as an administrator worked 4 me, I guess they show u links if u are an admin 4 the sake of performance.

I have same problem. If we change js location from "sites/all/modules/cumulus/cumulus.module" to "modules/cumulus/cumulus.module" all will be work, but the problem is thet module (or drupal I don't know) again change it to "sites/all/modules/cumulus/cumulus.module". Can somebody tel me why it happens?
P.S. Sorry it was my error :) I have install update automatically and it was been installd into "sites/all/module/..."

@#5:
probably your caches weren't flushed while you were anon. logged in users do not use the cache while anons do if it is enabled ...
and @6:
1. "sometimes works - sometinmes not" - MOST probably one time your caches (srv an browser) are clean - other time not - clean it everytime you test (both from drupal's performance page in settings and in mozilla - by ctrl+shift+esc)
2. I need an exact version number of core and cumulus and a detailed howto in order to replicate this ... until then do not hope for help

I had a similar issue with 6.x-1.3 version. Tags would show as next, not flash. For me it turned out to be an issue with the Blueprint theme. It worked fine using Garland. The only difference I could see was the position of the JavaScripts. So, I edited the page.tpl.php file and moved the
<?phpprint $scripts;
?>
Edit: replaced template.tpl.php with the correct file name, page.tpl.php. Sorry for the confusion BradM (#10).

Just confirming that with 5.x the issue is the same, tags are just displayed on the page, no flash. The .js is in the module folder.
Trying different themes and emptying cache had no affect. And solution #9 must be for 6.x cause I don't have that reference in my 5.x template file.

i have the same issue,but i find that the html tag get both width an height as 1,if i disabled the css rendering in firefox,it displayed.why?
#12
then i use firebug to change width and height larger,it display.
#13
yes,when i enter the block configure page and save,it works. The problem is that the cumulus module doesn't add it's variables into the variable table.
