Yes, the tag cloud is automatically populated with existing categories. You can specify the criteria (e.g. minimum number of articles in a category before the category shows up in the cloud) in the .body file. It’s all working on http://mike2.openmethodology.org. I did get a message the other day on this topic as well. Please also check here: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User_talk:Lindele

Hi,
Wondering if you might be able to help. Your extension is exactly what I am looking for but does not seem to be working as expected…? There are no categories displayed under ‘Popular Categories’ tab and ‘Category Hierarchy’ tab says ‘Coming soon…’.

I am assuming that tabs should be dynamically populated with existing categories for me to choose from?

Feel free to email direct, any help appreciated. Thanks!

This extension is only to help assignment of categories when editing an article. I assume you would want something like http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiCategoryTagCloud.

How do I get the tagcloud to display on the wiki’s main page, or for that matter on each page I want to display?

Thanks

Daniel, thanks for the feedback. The plan for SelectCategoryTagCloud is to add guided indexing to the existing tag cloud and typeahead functionality. I can see how the framework could be moved from the edit page to the ajax based approach on the article page. However, A) I am not sure if this would be as visually appealing because the tag cloud is quite large. And then the additional tabs would need to get in there as well. B)I honestly just don’t have the time right now to do this, but would welcome any help. I might take a look into it, but if you would be willing to take a stab at it that would be great.
Thanks,
Andi

Hi,
I’m using this extension and I love it! It’s the perfect complement for Wikipedia.

However, I’d like to ask you a question. I found this other extension
http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:TagAsCategory
that let you add categories to a page without having to edit the page, I wonder if you extension can be modified so it also works this way.

Thanks, and don’t hesitate to contact me by mail.

Best regards,

Daniel

Hi,
I’m using SemanticMediaWiki with the Semantic Forms Extension: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:Semantic_Forms

Have you ever tried to combine your extension with Semantic Forms? It would be a great enhancement…

regards,
Bernhard

I just upgraded to version 1.2 (using diff and patch, that’s easier than re-entering the database settings

Thanks for the bug fixes and the case insensitive search!
