This is very cool and nice. Unfortunately I could not make sense from the source code. Therefore I found another way of doing a category cloud (see http://wiki-products.org). Everything works fine, but in my example the texts start to overlap each other and some of the links are not "click-able" anymore. Is there a solution to that? For example to set the line hight somehow to a larger value? My best, --Gollum2 18:15, 18 May 2008 (CEST)
- Did you notice that you need to download the Test category cloud sub as well?
- The code in that article basically takes 6pt as a minimum and adds the square root of the number of articles in a category to that.
- Which links do not work in your version?
