“To use the image-style tag-clouds set the format parameter of wp_tag_cloud to image. ”

???

Thanks

Try to add something like this to your sidebar widget:

wp_tag_cloud('format=image&maxwidth=100px');


This example does two things: it changes the format of the tag cloud to images, such that the imagecloud plugin is actually used. Second, it sets the maximum width of the cloud to 100px, something that may be important if you use it in sidebars. The ‘maxwidth’ option is something I forgot to document, so you didn’t miss something if you didn’t see this option before. Note that words are too wide to fit in the maxwidth provided are silently ignored (I know, not the most elegant way of resolving this…)

Hopefully this helps…

First, I tried it in a page & a post to see if the plugin would even work, and it did. Then I tried to “adapt my theme to use the image format as argument to wp_tag_cloud”, but I don’t know what that meant (I tried <?php'ing all kinds of 'image' words in my theme sidebar). So please tell me what code I need to paste into my sidebar.

My sidebar is very narrow, so maybe I did get the code right in my trial-and-error attemots, but it was just too narrow to dsiplay the images properly.

My site is private so I can't show you an example or provide an url. However, I can enail you text or images. thanks in advance.

By default Wordpress will only show the first 45 tags in a wordcloud (see wp_tag_cloud documentation on WP codex) . This plugin does nothing else. The number parameter can be used to change that amount of tags displayed. To have it display all your clouds add the number=0 setting to your cloud.

Hope this helps,

Keep up the good work!

Sorry, but the cloud currently supports two color gradients only. I’ll put it on the wishlist for a next release…

Thanks for the plugin , its great.
I wanted to know whether we can use more than two colors for the font , in the tag cloud.

Thanks for the feedback. I made a fix and posted it to WordPress (version 1.2). If you upgrade your plugin. It should be working fine.

If you care about the details: I noticed that the spaces where encoded as + signs, and not as %20 in the URLs. This made that image was correctly generated, but the url was wrongly decoded to “star+wars_.gif” instead of “star wars_.gif”

sorry for my english…

you can have an example on my blog

not working with tags “star wars, black hattitude, suicide girls, storm troopers”

thx for your fantastic job!
