  • Component changed from Administration to Template

Not at the beginning. Below the search box, at least.

The tag cloud is a search device for posts. Before or after the search box is OK.

Must be available in widgets if not in the first position.

Oh, and if you put it into the static sidebar, you'll want a widget for it as well. The following is in plugin form, but I'm sure it could be adapted in 60 seconds to be built-in to widgets.php.

<?php
/*
        Plugin Name: Tag Cloud
        Plugin Author: Jeremy Visser
        Description: A sidebar widget which displays a tag cloud.
*/

function jv_tag_cloud_widget($args) {
        extract($args);

        echo $before_widget;
        echo $before_title . 'Tags' . $after_title;

        echo '<div class="tag-cloud">';
        wp_tag_cloud('smallest=8&largest=22');
        echo '</div>';

        echo $after_widget;
}

function jv_tag_cloud_init() {
        register_sidebar_widget('Tag Cloud', 'jv_tag_cloud_widget');
}

add_action('init', 'jv_tag_cloud_init');

?>

  • Keywords tested added

tested with WP 2.3-alpha SVN revision number 5803

patchs to display the tag cloud (static mode and as widget).

#6 @foolswisdom
17 years ago

  • Keywords has-patch added
  • Milestone changed from 2.3 to 2.4 (next)

Relates to #4130

#7 @westi
17 years ago

  • Keywords needs-patch added; has-patch removed
  • Milestone changed from 2.5 to 2.6

In order for this to happen I think the tag cloud would need a heading so we need a patch that adds some code to wp_tag_cloud() to optionally generate a heading like the other things in the sidebar do.

Moving to 2.6 for now.

Is this ticket still valid?

The tag cloud widget has been available since 2.3, I don't think the tag cloud really needs to exist in the non-dynamic sidebar, if the user wants to customize it, They can customize it via the widgets area.. Its probably unlikely that anyone would want search, tags, categories, pages, and meta displayed..

On the other hand.. users might want that, Along with the calendar, links, and recent comments.. So IMO, Its a bit of a compromise, Users can customize the themes PHP (Which they will do if technical), Else they'll use the widget manager.

I'm closing as worksforme.. reopen if necessary
