Automated Joomla tag cloud module

Sunday, 07 February 2010 21:15

When working on Joomla websites it is often that people would prefer it to be able to provide a more Wordpress like blog feel when it is being used as a blog, one of these things is the widgets panel in the sidebar. Tag clouds are often used to give a bump in SEO and also to help the user get a good idea of what content the website contains. When looking through the joomla extensions I came across a few half-hearted attempts at tag clouds which involved you manually turning off/on words you wouldn't want in the cloud.

Joomla flickr feed module with jQuery and CSS

Saturday, 11 July 2009 14:15

Well after quite a high demand here is the release verion with jQuery slideshow effects and CSS options, you don't have to use them but they are there for the people who just want an easy switch on/off functionality for the slideshow. The way it works is that it will now fade in and out of the amount of images you have decided to pick from your flickr account. I am aware people want this to work for group feeds, and I will make a release that will work with group ID's in the mean time there is a solution for the time being for those willing to get their hands dirty. However this solution does not work with this jQuery version of my flickr feed module.
