Hello,

im willing to adapt the WP-Cumulus (http://wordpress.org/extend/
plugins/wp-cumulus/) into a widget for SS. I'm hoping for some help.

Thanks.

hello,

thanks Nivanka.
I have a little problem that prevent me from testing it. i did run the
db/build/flush=1, the table is correctly created, but the problem
happen when i try to drag and drop it into the current widget. Could
please take a look?

(how can i upload files? or write the code here?)

thanks.

hello,

i think it's a lost cause : the WP-cumulus use the SWFObject, a
script for embedding Adobe Flash content. (http://blog.deconcept.com/
swfobject/).
this script can be used in valid HTML and XHTML 1.0 documents, pages
sent as text/html, not application/xhtml+xml.
And from what i know silverstripe send pages as application/xhtml+xml,
is there any solution to change that?

thanks

I would doubt the comment below.  You can definitely insert validating flash objects into xhtml and you can also make SS valid html (rather than xhtml).  Also, how would you use this WP-Cumulus? Would it add a lot to your webpages?

hello,
i've removed this "<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>" from the
Mytheme/templates/page.ss and now it works fine. i guess this will
make the pages valid html. it's the only solution that i found.
you can the see the result in here : http://www.futurs-ingenieurs.webou.net/blog/
(the 3D tag's cloud).
a link for the widget : http://www.futurs-ingenieurs.webou.net/widgets_cumulus.tar.gz

i'am using the class tagCloudWidget to get my tags.
in case the flash doesn't work, the text tags will be shown instead.

Any critics, suggestions are welcome.

thanks

Hi - sorry I didnt have much time to look into this, as I have been
working on the calendar module. The widget is really impressive. Good
work.
