Trending Content Tags 1.1.8

[FloV]

This add-on is only designed to show on the forum home page.

Is there a reason for this? I really would love to display this on all pages (at least threadview, forum_home and forum_list).

 

[tajhay]

Id love for this to be extended to be used on anywhere as well if possible.

This is a wonderful piece of widget. I'd like to put it on my start page (which is not the same page as my forum list). Normally I can put widgets on my start page using widget framework. (My site's start page is a widget page used as index page). It would also be nice to be able to use it outside the sidebar.

I've added it to the todo list for supporting [bd] WidgetFramework at some stage. Not sure about an ETA due to RL commitments atm.

I'm not using it yet until you reach 1.0 but it won't be required to use the framework right?

 

[Xon]

There aren't many more features I plan to add before hitting 1.0.

The major features left to implement are:

• Implement purging of sufficiently old activity stats.

• Provide graphs of activity over time per tag.

Using the Widget framework will be optional.

@resonansER thanks for catching that. Error packaging the add-on.

@Xon what is this "shared installer code"? Should I update?

It is really for new users. If the add-on installed for you, then don't bother.

Hi @Xon
Thanks for making this

Can I ask you where could I format the Text colour from the words inside the Cloud widget showing in my sidebar forumlist?

 

[melbo]

I placed this in my EXTRA.css. Change the colors as you'd like

.tagCloud .tagCloudTag2
{
    color: orange;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.tagCloud .tagCloudTag3
{
    color: green;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.tagCloud .tagCloudTag4
{
    color: blue;
}

.tagCloud .tagCloudTag5
{
    color: blue;
    font-weight: bold;
}

.tagCloud .tagCloudTag6
{
    color: red;
}

.tagCloud .tagCloudTag7
{
    color: red;
    font-weight: bold;
}

edit: and a nice addition suggested by @jOOc after he saw my screenshot and visited my forum.

.tagCloud{
text-align: justify;
}

.tagCloud li {
vertical-align: middle;
}

Feature update release

Implement summarization of old tags via daily cron.

• By a minimum time (after 72 hours by default), samples are summarized into smaller blocks (6 hour sample window).

Warning: initial summarization of older tags can take some time.

Is the word "the" necessary to use in a tag?

For example: cats, the cats

Is the word "the" really needed. I'm curious. This it seems to me causes repetition. But, I could be wrong about the proper usage.

 

[Xon]

@Bob_R This add-on doesn't do any tag curation.

I'ld recommend dropping the 'the' form tags, as it is just a filler word which rarely makes a difference in the meaning but increases the size of the tag.

So as per my example above. Searching for the tag "cats" would also capture tags "the cats" and vice versa?

Yes, since text is fulltext search it'll match.

Performance Update

If using Zend Redis Cache, version 1.1.14 is required.

• Automatically use Redis to cache per-page requests until they are need to be compiled to show trending content tags.
  • Replaces potentially expensive insert-select-update query with a few simple Redis inserts, tag usage counters are then destaged later and not on each page hit.
  • Once the sample collection window is closed, or the...
