Hello. I don't want to use the categories-list, I want to show the list by keywords like you have on your site. Is it something that can be a simply changed in the code I insert in the page. Or maybe is going to be a another plugin? Let me know! I must apologize for my bad english, have a nice day.

Might be a bug in wordpress, I don't see anything in the plugin to explain this. I'll keep investigating.
Robin

Should have waited a moment before commenting. I found a fix adding a single line in weighted_categories(): $cats = explode("\n", $cats); array_pop($cats); // this line ! foreach ($cats as $cat)

I don't have an archives.php file...
can you be more specific about how to use this script?
Thanks

Any intention to convert the weighted-categories plugin into a weighted-keyword one?¿ Maybe to use along with the Wp-tags one?¿
I have corrected the code. Now it works fine for me:
The only thing I had to do actually was to adjust tag font size to make the whole thing fit my sidebar. Check it out http://rodolphoarruda.pro.br/blog/

I've been trying to get this to work, but I've hit a slight snag. The links generated point to /archives/categoryname instead of /category/categoryname.
How do you do this without a list style? I just want a square block of words like in Flickr...I'm sure this is ridiculously easy...Thanks for the great plugin...

Thanks for the plug-in: I'm hoping for the same tweak as Ryan i.e. a flickry block of links. Best /FK

Nice plugin, I use it in conjunction with the cat2tag plugin which works very well. However it also generates hugh amounts of catagories. So I've changed your code slightly to show only the top x ($number) of catagories. As so: /* Sort on counts */ arsort( $counts );
/* Only keep top $number */ $i=count( $counts )-$number;
for($j=1;$j

Second half ... for($j=1;$j

Sorry 'bout that ... seems the & wasn't converted correctly ... /* Sort on counts */ arsort( $counts );
/* Only keep top $number */ $i=count( $counts )-$number;
for($j=1;$j&=$i;$j++) { array_pop( $counts ); }
/* Sort alphabeticly again (case insensitive) */ uksort($counts, "strnatcasecmp");

Got mine working in the end, just upgraded from 1.5 to 1.5.2 and it started working again! Great plugin by the way :-)

Howdy,
I've played around with your plug-in and added some features : - Display the categories with different opacities (more posts = less transparents) and you can define a minimum opacity - Display the categories with different colors
For the latter, you specify 2 colors (in #xxxxxx or #xxx format), the first will determine the color of your category that has less posts will have and the second will determine the color of your category that has more posts. You also specify the number of color your palette will have.
Okay, so I know my english sucks (especially at 4 a.m.) but go check my website @ http://www.autre-chose.org
I'll clean the code in a few days and will make the plugin available for download.

Hey fella, Nice plugin which finished off my website nicely http://www.diretribe.com however, there are a couple of bugs in the maths that thought I should let you know about.
When calculating the spread/step values the variables are the wrong way around, the correct ways should be as follows: $mincount=min($counts); $spread = max($counts) - min($counts); if ($spread Note, you need the $mincount for later when outputting as followed: ($smallest + ($fontstep * ($count-$mincount)))
By doing it this way the values of the font-sizes will always fall withn your range set in min/max (before that it didn't seem to).
An example:
font_spread: 10-20 count_spread: 1-3 count_min: 1
font_step = font_spread/count_spread = 10/2 = 5
e.g. where count = 2 5*(count-count_min)+minimum_font = 5*(2-1)+10 = 15
Compared to:
font_step=count_spread/font_spread = 2/10 = 0.2
e.g. where count=2 minimum_font+(count/font_step)=10+(2/0.2)=10=20
As you can see in the second example (using the current maths in the plugin) a half-way value is hitting the maximum. Hope that helps - if you need any help let me know.
Folowing Maxime Dupuis example above I've also knocked it into providing transparency & so on. Lovely. Thanks again for a great plugin.
Maxime Dupuis
· 4 years ago
I love what you did... I mean, the random CSS positionning with the transparency is so cool... except that some categories are sometimes inaccessible because under another. You should keep positions into an bi-dimensionnal array so categories must be X pixels from another (for both top and left positions). But other than that, great job ! I love your wordpress template too!

Can someone PLEASE!! post a 100% "WORKING!" WORDPRESS Version on this Tag script and also EXACT instructions such as which php file to include function call and step-for-step directions. I have been many days going on weeks scouring this internet thru Google and all i ever find are people posting comments on nothing but one error after another, and i have personally downloaded many of these only to have them show nothing but errors myself and also never do any of you coders ever draw up step for step instructions.

I'd agree. Pretty poor in the clarity department for those who might now speak 100% nerd code. I mean, people who develop these plugins do it so that others use them, right? Even if they might be someone who isn't a certified programmer (ie. a designer). At any rate; I found success with Heat Map in case anyone notices. They have slightly better documentation ... at least it's apparent, instead of reading through all these comments.

You should add rel=\"tag\" in the print for the links.

This is an excellent plugin. I have it working with WP2.0.1 and K2 beta2r163. Thank you so much. Maybe it's me, but I think this on the homepage is a great 'flavour' for the content the site holds, so I'm delighted to now have yummy K2 and your weighted comments. Brilliant!

Has anyone noticed that the last link on the list is always incorrect? Even on the hitormiss.org site. Any fix?
Zak Grenat
· 3 years ago
Look at the output of list_cats() - it include a newline at the end of the output, which then messes up the first foreach loop.
Thank you Zak. Your fix did the trick. It's funny... looks like Matt hasn't even noticed it it.
Jason

Great plugin! Would it be possible to give it the ability to only display a certain number of top catagories? I'd really like to go crazy with "tagging" my posts, but I don't want a lot of catagories with only one or two entries taking up space on my sidebar. It would be nice to tell the plugin to only show the top 25 catagories, etc.
Thanks nonetheless!
Samuel
· 3 years ago
I had the same problem with the last category not working, and Zak's fix worked like a charm. Thanks!
Beyond that, this is a really great plug-in. Simple, fast, and effective - exactly what I was looking for.

Here's another vote for an update. Since they broke list_cats() it's not working, and I have no clue how to modify the plugin to get it working with the new wp_list_categories().

hi! I wrote an updated version that works for wordpress 2.1. It hase some new features and better wordpress integration (i.e. option page), it's called Category Cloud :)
I'm using this in WP 2.0.x and it works great except that parent categories with sub-cats in them, aren't linking properly. All the sub-cats link, but the parent category does this: mywebsite.com/the-category-name instead of mywebsite.com/categories/the-category-name. What do I need to do to fix?

i don't know why is not working here: http://wearemad.weblogs.us/livearchives/
in the category space, it wrongs add the link... eny idea!? :(
I've been using this little plugin for quite a while and have never had a problem with it under 1.5. However, I've just added a new category and it won't display. Instead of using the standard http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/archives/categ... URL it shows http://www.ektopia.co.uk/ektopia/weighted-categ... but ONLY for that particular category and therefore points to a 404.
Any idea what might be going on?? Cheers
