Change your tru_tags_handler call to add a <code>form=“yourform”</code> attribute. It works just like txp:article.

Thanks, you should add this to plugin documentation :)
Also, it will be great if tru_tags_from_article can return a just plain tags list, not only list of tag search links.

And it will be really nice if it was possible to specify not only font sizes for tru_tags_cloud but also styling css classes, for flexible cloud output – for example, i prefer tags in tag cloud to differ not only by size, but also by color – this improves usability.

Anyway thanks for great thing, you plugin totally rocks.

It is, sort of. It mentions that tru_tags_handler supports all the txp:article attributes.

Do you mean where they were literally not links? You could get that appearance with a wraptag and a class and some stylesheet work. But it could also be done in code – can you just confirm that that’s what you want?

I like that idea, but I’m not sure I’ve ever seen such a cloud – can you show me an example? I’m not sure how to implement it.

this would be important for me too. would it be possible to change /tag/foo%20bar/ to /tag/foobar/ or /tag/foo-bar/

Ahhh, now I understand. I’ll start working on this :)

Just a warning – I’m really busy all through this weekend, so it will be mid next week before I can get to any of this stuff.

you can add to every tag class definitions like: class=”tagStyle01”, class=”tagStyle02”, class=”tagStyle03” and so on

Now that you describe this feature, I’m thinking about using it myself, but I’m thinking that if I used “tagStyle01” styles like you suggested, I couldn’t do what I wanted. Specifically, I imagine that I’d probably want 3 colors (at least): one for the smallest tags, one for the largest tag(s), and one for the rest. If I just sequentially numbered the tags (based on sort order or on usage count) then I wouldn’t ever know which one was the largest. So instead, what if I used styles like “tagStyleSmallest” and “tagStyleLargest” and “tagStyleMedium”? Would that do what you want? (If necessary, I could add both sorts of styles to each tag.)

(By the way, a good example can be found on tagcloud.com)

I’m also thinking of adding feature whereby the smallest tags (e.g. those with only 1 use) could be hidden. Then you could make an “on every page” cloud with just the most popular tags, and have a link to a complete tag cloud somewhere else. Anyone else interested in such a thing?

yes, that would be perfect! just wanted to ask for this functionality :)

Ditto. thanks for the great plugin!

Yeah, I really like how Flickr doesn’t include tags with only 1 photo attached in their “top tags cloud”. This back to you question of if it should be included functionality in the tru_tags plug.

Thanks for the great plugin!
