Re: resolved: category cloud that leads to articles ? I checked plugins
@GugUser, I have added yours, and it still returns empty categories.
I moved both to the top of the page so scrolling to the bottom isn’t necessary.

Following Oleg’s suggestion (good catch Oleg), you can try
<txp:category_list wraptag="" break=",">
<txp:variable name="hasarticles" value='<txp:article_custom category=''<txp:category />'' limit="1" />' />
<txp:if_variable name="hasarticles" value="">
<txp:else />
<txp:category title="1" link="1" />
</txp:if_variable>
</txp:category_list>Yiannis

In my sites it works fine, since years.

I meant to replace the container tag variable with the single tag variable.
This works and filters the categories with articles.
<txp:variable name="hasarticles" value='<txp:article_custom category=''<txp:category />'' limit="1" />' />...
I recopied it, it is the middle one on my site at the top of the page. Still shows empty categories.

Page loading time is slower as you mention. Only returns one article, but I hesitate in increasing the limit to all of the articles.
If you use only Category1 (or Category2) for classification, this should be faster (and produces a weighted cloud):
<txp:etc_query wraptag="p" break=","
data="SELECT name, title, count
FROM (SELECT COUNT(*) count, Category1 FROM textpattern WHERE Status=4 GROUP BY Category1 HAVING count!=0) c
JOIN txp_category ON name=c.Category1 WHERE type='article'
ORDER BY title"
>
<a href='<txp:category name="{name?}" section="" url="1" />' style="font-size:{$max({count?}|5)./5}em">
{$htmlspecialchars({title?})}
</a>[{count?}]
</txp:etc_query>Offline

I have labelled thiso ne on my site as ‘Third One’. I get a blank area, no listing.

I went to that link, downloaded, and pasted it into the Install Plugin part of admin and it gave an error. Said it was a ‘badly formed or empty plugin code’.
Weird, I’ve just checked, and it went smooth. Could it be a download problem?
