Tag Cloud from Title Words
Hi Andy,
I'm using the global below to print out "tags" from link title on the detail page
Code:
sub {
my $tags = GT::Template->tags;
my @words = split(/\s+/,$tags->{Title});
my @links;

foreach (@words){
s/^\s*//sg;
s/[\.,:\?!\(\)"]+//sg;
next if length($_)<4;
push(@links,qq|<a href="$CFG->{db_cgi_url}/search.cgi?query=$_">$_</a>|);
}

return join(" - ",@links);

}

What do you think?
Is it possible to show a tag cloud relating to the number of words in the link titles?

Thanks

Matthias

Hi,

Not sure what you mean by a "tag cloud" ... can you give me an example?

Cheers

Hi Andy,
you can see two tagclouds at the bottom of my page.
www.gpaed.de

They rely on the number of searchwords and the number of links in category.
Would be great to have a tag cloud from the words in the title. The more a word is in the title field, the bigger the print out of the tag...

Ah ok, so basically if we had the word "Test" in the title/description multiple times, it should show in the "cloud" with a larger font?

Yes, that's it.
At the moment the globals shows only words from the title, but the combination title/description would be interesting, too.
