Experimental project

This is a sandbox project, which contains experimental code for developer use only.

What is Cloud9

Cloud9 displays view results in a tagcloud like fashion.

The main difference to modules like Tagadelic and Tagadelic_views, which strongly depend on the results to be taxonomy terms, is that it can display arbitrary view results as clouds, as long as they have a counting field for weight calculation.

The usage is a little more complicated than Tagadelic for simple cases like Tagclouds, but is more flexible and allows to build clouds for a more use cases. E.g. a cloud of authors with weights depending on amount of content they produced. For both cases see the README.txt on how to set this up.

This module does not depend on Tagadelic, but uses a slightly modified version of the weight calculation algorithm. So tagclouds should look exactly the same.

Dependencies

Known bugs

  • The view isn't updated until you hit the save button for the first time, after that all changes show up immediately. (No idea why)

Related modules

  • tagadelic: I borrowed the weight function from them
  • tagadelic_views:There is currently no Durpal 7 version of it. And it only works for taxonomies.
