Hi Guys,

I'd like to implement a "TAG cloud", which represents the 10 most important/ most used TAGs/Words of my Blog. Are there any Replacement Tags for such a thing??

Has anybody knowledge of how to create such mod??
Thanks!

Good idea to improve user experience of visitors of our sites built with phpwcms, yes. but tag clouds comprise visualizations of a semantic field accreted around many different focuses, by many people.

You will need both a kind of metrics and more interaction on phpwcms sites to determine what the users focuses are. Blog sites commonly offer visitors the possibility to write their own comments on articles. The number of comments and/or the click rate could be used as measured value, to generate a weighted link list unlike rather only visual variations.

Similar to the concept of 'related articles', which is built in phpwcms, our PHP "pro coders" should consider some kind of key metrics or quota. Don't know weather we can already find this in the database...
