Hi Bugo

Is this a similar idea to the Tags?

Don't wanna sound rude but regarding the image in the example would it be possible for there to be an English language example?

Nice mod! :D

Well, you can install it on your forum (or test forum) with English titles of topics to see live example.

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare ssi_shutdown() (previously declared in /home/xxxxxx/public_html/xxxxx/SSI.php:200) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/xxxxxx/SSI.php on line 202

Maybe are you using other mods with SSI? Or try replace "require($boarddir . '/SSI.php')" with "require_once($boarddir . '/SSI.php')" (in Subs-Cumulus.php).

Хорошо бы встроить модуль - с каких разделов считывать популярные темы (забивает все и вся вывод с разговорных разделов а надо с ...нужных :) ) - а с каких нет + что то в Хроме колбасит флешку не по детски...

Можно. К сожалению, в SSI отсутствуют нужные функции, поэтому требуется создавать специальные SQL-запросы для выборки тем из определенных разделов.

P. S. Ваш «путеводитель» последних сообщений тоже колбасит не по-детски :)

Ок, нет так нет. А жаль.

Я разве сказал нет? Новая версия уже выложена, тестируйте :)

As far as I know, this is English support only.

As far as I know it could be judged only by the author of mod :)
Do you mean I should forget my native language even if someone apply to me on it?

Bugo to stop any arguments may I suggest that an English translation is provided when replying ( or at least as near as possible).

What use to translate answers when questions are not in English? :)

I would love to see that, too.

I didn't wanted to offend you, Bugo. I just wanted to know what did you said.

Bugo, Excellent! In Chrome everything is OK, the list of allowed board works.
Thank you!

***
2all:
I asked the author to create a new feature-list of allowed boards. The author has made this feature. Very quickly.

After installing this mod the tag img innside the tag url doesnt work anymore...they show a link, not a clickable image...is there any change to fix it?

No chance, because not a heck of a lot of info.

tnx Bugo...i found the problem is in Local Url Titles :)

Something that uses tagging system instead of topics?

Hey Bugo,

i'd like to use your mod with PortaMX. Could you please give me hint what i should write into the php-Block for getting the Tag Cloud. It also would be great to combine it with the Tags created by SMF-Tagging System mod instead of the Titles of the Topics.

cu Rob

1) Disable cumulus in settings.
2) Paste into your php block this line:
echo cumulus();

QuoteIt also would be great to combine it with the Tags created by SMF-Tagging System mod instead of the Titles of the Topics.

Done. Try version 0.7 ;)

wow - that was pretty fast - well done, i'm impressed.

thx Rob

I have upgrade to version 0.7 and I still view board topics, not see the tags what can i Do?

1) Tagging System must be installed.
2) Enable "Tagging System Compatibility mode" on Cumulus settings.

Everything works great, but in previous version tag or topics cloud was centered. Now its aligned to left.
How to move it back to center?

Open Subs-Cumulus.php, find "padding: 1px; text-align: center" and replace with "padding: 1px; text-align: center; margin: 0 auto".

Tagging system installed, but doesnt appear Cumulus setting in my site, can I enable "Tagging System Compatibility mode" in Sql database with phpMyadmin?

Well, try add (or change) value of variable "cumulus_tagsystem" in settings table (in database) to "1".

P.S. Do you have SMF 2.0 (or 2.0.1) Final? If no, you cannot use this mod.

Hi!

I am running SMF 2.0.1. with the Argentum2 theme. It has been established that mods using Jquery do not work well with this theme since it uses motools. Don't ask me why, I have just read that in the various support threads for the theme, can't find the exact link now.

What happens when I install Cumulus Congestus is that some menu items like "Configurations / Modifications" do not work anymore, they return a long URL and a blank page. The only way to navigate out of it is to go a few steps BACK in the browser, then uninstall package again. Fortunately the package manager itself is not affected by the error, otherwise I would be really stuck...

NOTE: There are no problems reported when installing with Package manager. Usually you get some problem reported in red colour and a recommendation not to continue, and if you still do it then you might expect this kind of error. But in this case all looks well.

This FYI, if you use Jquery I think it explains the case, if so I would ask that you include this info in the mod description. Thanks!

No, I don't use jQuery with this mod. Maybe you forgot install Flash plugin for your browser?
Please, look at screenshot. This is SMF 2.0.1, Argentum2 + Cumulus. All menu items work well.

P.S. Don't forget choose the Blockweb style in Cumulus settings (Block title appearance style option).
P.S.S. Mootools & jQuery work together if use jQuery.noConflict() function.

Thanks a million for a very fast and in-depth answer. Taking the time to set it up and make a screenshot - awesome!

I have Flash and the mod itself actually worked, but I got this problem with the menus. I am running a lot of different mods but I thought most of them at least shouldn't affect each other as they only add very small things in very different areas of the forum. So what I did when I got this problem was uninstall all mods and then reinstall one by one until I noticed that the bug appeared. And it happened after installing this mod, but also after one or two other mods. So I wrote similar messages to them.

Thanks again! I will also pass on the info to the Argentum developer Bloc. Surely he knows this, but perhaps he can somehow include it in the mod info for people like me...

good work buddy  ;)

for turkish character problem
in Subs-Cumulus.php
find(bul):
$tags = iconv("CP1251","UTF-8", $tags);
replace(degistir)
$tags = iconv("ISO-8859-9","UTF-8",$tags);

and active "Convert cyrillic symbols to UTF-8(UTF-8 Dönüstürme)"

and turkish language file

ANSI only? What about utf-8 turkish?

yeah only ansi. no problem for utf turkish

Mm, try replace it
$tags = iconv("ISO-8859-9","UTF-8",$tags);
with
$tags = iconv($context['character_set'], "UTF-8", $tags);
Does it work?

Hello, sounds like a great mod, but the file type isn't compatible with the package manager as shown in the attachment.



Bugo, translating your answers when you're replying to posters who speak your native language might save you from having to answer the same questions later in English because others don't understand - might as well get two birds with one stone. :)  Or here's another remedy which makes my previous point moot - if you want to know what he said, look it up: http://translate.google.com/  Though I'm not sure of how accurate it will be, you can probably get the gist.

Quote from: vladokIt would be nice to build the module - with some sections read popular topics (all scores and all output from the spoken sections and have a right ...:)) - but with what there is something in + Chrome sausage stick is not childish ...

Quote from: BugoCan. Unfortunately, no SSI required functions, so you need to create special SQL-queries to retrieve those from certain sections.

P. S. Your "guide" the latest messages sausage also not a child:)

Strange. I have the same problem with all smfsimple.com's mods (...filename.com.zip).
It seems a browser doesn't understand filenames with spaces. I'll try to rename files.

well, it's great to link to the Tagging Mod for the Tag Cloud, but is it possible to come to the Tag List after clicking on a Tag (see picture). It seems to link to a single post.

thx Rob

i love ur speed - i'm really impressed! Thank you very much.

cu Rob

It's my pleasure.

If you'll find any errors in Error Log, try add "if (!empty($topic['ID_TAG']) && !empty($topic['tag']))". Example:

foreach ($context['tags_topics'] as $i => $topic) {
if (!empty($topic['ID_TAG']) && !empty($topic['tag']))
$urls[] = '<a href="' . $scripturl . '?action=tags;tagid=' . $topic['ID_TAG'] . '" style="' . $size . '">' . $topic['tag'] . '</a>';
}


Whatever you did fixed it Bugo, thank you! It looks great.

I just have one suggestion (for a future update)...

Instead of (or as well as) having to enter the ID's of the boards we do want, there should be an option to enter the ID's of the boards that we don't want (unless I'm not understanding the description). Because if it's enabled, it takes from all the boards automatically. There are only a couple boards I'd like to exclude from tagging as opposed to about...20+ that I don't want to exclude.

Thanks for nice idea. Done.

You're welcome and thanks for the speedy service! Well done. :)

Hey, i need some help here...

1. How do i change the "Cumulus Congestus" title into "Popular Topics" ?
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv203%2Fynaonlineshop%2FU2S%2520Forum%2FScreenshot2011-10-08at100708PM.png&hash=eb8986cb212f95e065fb1f017653ab1b30bcf113)


2. How do i move this section to the top? not positioned at the bottom like this.


THANKS!  ;D

1. Replace it in Cumulus.{your_language}.php (/Themes/default/languages dir)
2. Please, explain where is it at the top. Any screenshot.

Hi Bugo,

That was super quick respond! thanks for that, really appreciate it  :laugh:
Anyway, i have fixed issue no 1.

No 2 is, i want to move the 'Popular Topics' to the top of the forum, it will be first category people will see when they are first logging in.

At the moment (by default i think), it shows on the bottom of all categories.
(https://www.simplemachines.org/community/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Fimg.photobucket.com%2Falbums%2Fv203%2Fynaonlineshop%2FScreenshot2011-10-08at113632PM.png&hash=59fc19ead8ffe3d038350700d99226322bcef936)

Can you please help?

Open Subs-Cumulus.php, find
$search = '<div id="upshrinkHeaderIC"' . (empty($options['collapse_header_ic']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"') . '>';
and replace with:
//$search = '<div id="upshrinkHeaderIC"' . (empty($options['collapse_header_ic']) ? '' : ' style="display: none;"') . '>';
$search = '<div id="boardindex_table">';

i am sorry, where can i find Subs-cumulus.php again? tried using "search" function in cPanel, i couldnt find it.

Also, i tried default - languages directory, not there....
:'(

See /Sources dir.

Works like a charm  ;D

thank youu sooo muuchhhh    :D

You're the fastest support on this community ever!!!  thanks again for your help...

Is there any way to adjust the width of the area where the tags do their thing in the file? I'm guesstimating that it's about 150-250 pixels wide now, but I'd like to change it to about 400-500px if possible.  :) Thanks in advance!

The width is always 100%. Try to increase the height.

Hi all--

I'm getting some crazy errors in my error log:

http://********.tk/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=1389.0;attach=1522;image

I have NO idea how the first line (topic=1389) even interacts with Subs-Cumulus.php. Any ideas on how to correct them?

Thanks as usual for any insight.

-s.w

Open Subs-Cumulus.php, remove these 2 lines:

if ($context['character_set'] != 'UTF-8' && function_exists('iconv'))
$tags = iconv($context['character_set'], "UTF-8", $tags);

and paste this one:

$tags = iconv('ISO-8859-1', 'UTF-8//TRANSLIT//IGNORE', $tags);

Quote from: Bugo on October 08, 2011, 11:54:07 PMThe width is always 100%. Try to increase the height.

Hi Bugo,

I tried that, but I think it's the ball-like effect, which I'm guessing is part of the reason the name is 'Cumulus Congestus'.

Would it be possible to add options for a few different effects at some point?

It's been a while since I designed anything with Flash so I can't provide many suggestions for exact effects - but I'm thinking something like a marquee...maybe a couple others that allow the tags to be spread out a little more - or maybe it's possible to have a kerning type of setting on the current effect like 'condensed', 'normal', 'loose/expanded' - but rather than this being applied to individual characters, it would be the space between each tag. That sounds like two ideas, and it could be, but it's up to you and what's possible.

Am I pushing it? lol If so, no worries, just thought I'd ask. :)

Thank you for your consideration, and again for your work!

Can you give any example of such cloud? Links, screenshots etc.

I can probably whip up some graphic representations to help illustrate the idea, but as it's not based on something I saw somewhere (outside of my mind), I can't provide a screenshot or a link :\

Ok, you can use a Paint. It will be easier to understand :)

Thanks. Sorry I meant was I download the tagging system so it would use words and not topics. but the block is blank on this setting. I have double checked the languages and ticked Tagging System Compatibility mode.

Any ideas as to why this isn't working?

I think I found it. None of the post in my forum have had tags added when they were written. Would this do it?

Admin > Modifications > Popular topics

The settings are there

yeap I have done this. To clarify I don't want topics in the cloud, only keywords. I have unticked the topic settings and ticked the tagging system but nothing shows up.

You may be better to look at vbgamers tag mod instead of this one.

Bugo may know what to do with what you are looking for.

Any errors on Error Log?

great mod, but it does not support Arabic language.
could you please tell me what changes I need to do in order to be able to recognize Arabic titles?

I'd like to see this too, but I don't want to be a PITA.
I currently use this mod in conjunction with the Tags System mod, and as a result, a vast majority of my tags are single words that are confined to the (horizontal) center 200 pixels of the cloud.
Is there a way to alter the 'orbit' values? You know, to spread the tags out a bit?
This is no big deal, at all; I love this mod. But if you could add a feature, I'd be using it.
Again, this flash stuff is WAY over my head, so I don't really know if what I'm asking is even possible, but I thought I'd join the Lady in making this request.
Thanks Bugo.

Thanks for even responding Bugo.

Did you know clouds cannot be sorted? :)

Although there is a plugin with ordered tags -> http://www.roytanck.com/tagnetic-poetry/
I can try to add it to my mod.

Please Bugo, don't misunderstand. I don't WANT to sort them, I'd like to see  them spread out from the center more.
As it is, the tag cloud displays tags like such:
|                    x                     |
And I'd like to the the tags distributed  in a more horizontal manner:
|     x           x         x            |

I hope this is more clear.  :)

-s.w

Well, I just use a ready Flash plugin, I'm not author of this plugin. So try ask author of WP Cumulus about this.

OK Bugo. Thanks for trying....I do apprecaite the effort.

Hi Bugo,


I am back to this mod after managing to make it familiar to RTL (Arabic). If you want me to send you the changes I would love to.

now couple of questions please, when integrated with tagging system mod, what determine what tags to show on the cloud?

second question how to show more tags in the cloud?


thanks in advance.

I just noticed that the tags in the cloud are actually the recent tags added by tagging system mod.

then number of tags is the number of recent tags showing in tagging system list, but unfortunatelly this option is not included in the tagging system mod.


waiting your opinion Bugo

thanks

In other words, you want to display all tags at once?

yes this would work also thanks

Can I see a link to your forum and all changes you made in Subs-Cumulus.php?

I did not change Subs-Cumulus.php I just replaced tagcloud and swfobject with the attached files


I will enable it for you to see it.


thanks

and replace "20" with other number (as you wish).

thank you sir.


I will leave the attached files in case someone uses them in the future.

Good work man ;)

Hi Bugo,


you taught me before how to change the limit of words. now is there a way to make choosing the tags random? I tried RAND but didnt work

and also I tried to play with the colors and this feature ( If supplied, links will get a color from a gradient between both colors based on their popularity.) seams not working for me.

at some site I dont remember where I saw a different color for each tag in the cloud. is this possible here?


thanks in advance

I made a fix. Try a new version.

Hello Bugo!! I didn't know about this mod! looks great!

A couple of questions, this mod obtains search words like "google tagged" mod does? I was waiting for a fixed for the overload server in that other mod but never comes...

Ad blocker turned off.  I've tried Firefox and Chrome.  The link lights up... but I don't even see the url come up at the bottom right as I normally do with links...

You don't see any urls because it's a Flash. Are the links in the cloud working?

I am not sure what you mean by that.  The links that are moving by... they light up... but they do not re-direct.

Welp... i give up.  It looks great... but won't link... and when I use it with statistics in jquery it takes over and demands to open to it rather than recent posts... 

I did notice it worked in one mode (where the tags just appear...not the animated type)...and linked fine... but not in the cool animated version...

I might keep it in that mode if I could get it to NOT take over my info center and demand to open it it's tab.  Suggestions?

P.S. Don't forget choose the Blockweb style in Cumulus settings (Block title appearance style option).
P.S.S. Mootools & jQuery work together if use jQuery.noConflict() function.

Hello Bugo?

First, I want to thank you for coming out with this mod.  I like it  a lot.  I am writing this post because I need your help.  Sometime, last week, I installed the cumulus congestus mod for my forum.  Everything was just fine until I enabled some options in the mod.  I checked three boxes to see what would happen.  One was for the jquery, the tagging system, and the top rating system. 

After checking the jquery box, my forum went to a white screen with absolutely NOTHING on it.  It freaked me out; as I couldn't get back to my forum at all.  I had to delete the Sub-Cumulus.php file in order to get my forum to work. 

After I got back to my forum, I tried to uninstall, and then re-install the cumulus congestus mod again.  Yet, when I install it, it always takes me to a blank screen all of the time.  I don't know how to disable the jquery option, as well as the other two options that I checked in the modsettings screen when I first enabled them.

Since then, I have tried several times to manipulate the Subs-Cumulus file.  I have tried to comment out the statjquery, tagsystem, and the cumulus_toprating system in the Sub-Cumulus.php file.  However, no matter what I do, I can't get it to work.  Every time, I uninstall, and the re-install cumulus congestus, the same thing happens.  I always go to a white screen in which I see nothing.  I have to keep deleting the Subs-Cumulus.php file in order to get my forum to work. 

The question that I am asking is: how can I disable the 3 checked boxes that I originally checked so that I can get the cumulus congestsus mod to work on my forum again.  What file do I have to manipulate so that I can get the mod to work again?

I really want to get this mod to work; as it is a cool mod to have on a forum.  I don't know what file to manipulate in order to reset the cumulus_congestus mod for my forum.   I made a huge mistake checking that jquery box, as well as the other two; because the mod stopped working completely after I checked them.

Please help.

Thank you.

Go to the database, open smf_settings table, find all cumulus_* strings, delete them.

Hi,
Thank you for the answer. Probably the file is updated because i dont fid the code
if ($context['character_set'] != 'UTF-8' && function_exists('iconv'))
$tags = iconv($context['character_set'], "UTF-8", $tags);

on the Subs-Cumulus.php  file.

Well, find "UTF-8" and replace with "UTF-8//TRANSLIT//IGNORE".

Since the 2.0.3 update, clicking on the items listed in cloud no longer functions, any ideas? Everything else seems ok except for that...

no problem here - works fine as it should

hmm, I did make a change to the default board url to use a secure address??

Hi, First of all I'd like to thank you for this great mod. Unfortunately I have a problem with Ignored boards. No matter what number I put there the whole cloud disappears and the box is empty. Any ideas?

Hello, friend to see if I can help because that does not work, and still generating errors.

This is my code:


        Line 132: $subject = $context['character_set'] != 'UTF-8' ? iconv($db_character_set, "UTF-8", $topic['subject']) : $topic['subject'];
Line 132: $subject = $context['character_set'] != 'UTF-8' ? iconv($db_character_set, "UTF-8", $topic['subject']) : $topic['subject'];
Line 155: $tag = $context['character_set'] != 'UTF-8' ? iconv($db_character_set, "UTF-8", $topic['tag']) : $topic['tag'];
Line 155: $tag = $context['character_set'] != 'UTF-8' ? iconv($db_character_set, "UTF-8", $topic['tag']) : $topic['tag'];


Coding my site is ISO-88591. Thank you very much in advance and congratulations for this amazing mod.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EDIT:

Well after a month (just a month ago now lol) I began to tinker and I've solved:

Open Subs-Cumulus.php.

Find:
'UTF-8'

Replace:
'ISO-8859-1'

Do the same with:

Find:
"UTF-8"

Replace:
"UTF-8//TRANSLIT//IGNORE"


Realize the quotation mark and the double quotes, one is 'UTF-8' and the other is "UTF-8"


PD. Excuse my English, if I have not written well, all the fault of Google Translator :P

I've been looking for this for a long time thanks, Just installed :)

this mod is awesome, i share the spanish_es-utf8 language:

thanks

Hola:

Thanks Bugo ... Still not working. Nothing appear into box.

Hi, I need you help!!

I just installed this mod and the second it redirected me to the admin package section I get a blank page for all my forum. It's not accessible anymore. I tried re-uploading my Theme backup but it seems the mod wrote some code somewhere else that affects not just my theme but the whole thing.

I tried using the "parse" option on the mod page but that didn't show any files that might have been edited by it, as it seems.


EDIT:
I removed the Class-Cumulus.php from my "sources" directory and I now get access again. Does anyone know why it crashes my forum?

What other mods do you have?

Sorry for the late reply:


Optimus
Auto Twitter Embed
Simple Audio Video Embedder
FancyBox 4 SMF
SMF Post Prefix
Quick Spoiler
Message Bookmarks
Quick Reply Attachments Button
Snowflakes
SMF 2.1.2 Update

I haven't found any problems in my test forum with PHP 7.4, 8.0, 8.1, so I suggest you install the test forum yourself and check each modification and each design theme you use in turn. That way you'll find the source of the problem faster :)

Thanks, Bugo! Now I need to figure out how to setup an own test forum.

I tried this on a test forum and it's really nice, will use it once we upgrade to 2.1.x
