On an earlier thread, several people asked how to go about created the cloud view of top contributors, like the one pictured on the project page.

I've figured out how to do this. But, in figuring it out, I may have uncovered a bug.

So, here's my help, and my associated request for help.

Documentation

To create a cloud-styled list of top site contributors.

• create a default view and a panel pane view
  • Note: I'm importing this View into Panels
• add the following field / setting
  • User Name
  • Link this field to its user
• create the following argument
  • User: UID
  • Summary, Sorted Descending
  • Summary Style, Cloud
  • Display Record Count with Link

This produces a hyperlinked, cloud-styled view of contributor names and their total number of posts.

Bug

The obvious reason for creating this view is to have the hyperlinked user name connect to the user's profile.

This isn't what happens when you create a cloud view following the procedure I've followed.

The hyperlinked names all link to the root, or home page. No names produce a path to their user profile.

Interesting, related behavior in Status in Live Preview:

When I attempt to follow a link produced by Views | Live Preview, I do not link to the user profile but, instead, to a page that contains a decompiled list of the users name. (Instead of seeing one hyperlinked name, I see 10 hyperlinked copies of the same name.) Each of the names that appears on this list does link to the appropriate user profile.

Buggy question:

What needs to be done differently (code / execution) to produce a cloud view of contributor names that link to their profile page.

Thank you very much for your help.
