Understandable, and I apologize again. It was obviously not my intention to get your address flooded with spam, just trying to correct the issue and get you registered. Thanks, I hope you enjoy them.

Rodney,

When you asked about pointing it to other data sources it  got me thinking.  I thought I could display these types of data clouds using our Brillnat ActiveHTML module

I created a demonstration of our ActiveHTML module.  I pointed it to the sample Northwind database.  It sizes the text based on the inventory on hand for the products in the database.  It was a bit tricky figuring out how to get SQL to return the "score" for text sizing.  The cloud links point to a separate page and passes querystring parameters that are used by our Brillnat DbHTML module to display the inventory available for the product displayed in the cloud. 

I haven't yet formatted the documentation to explain how I set up the module to display the data.  But you can display a data cloud easily from any SQL query that returns a text value to display, a score to size the text with, and any other information that will be required to build the href for the link

Hmmm - VERY interesting - just the kind of things I was getting at.

I want to use a Tag Cloud on things like the Location field on my Events module, and I am introducing Tagging on all my modules (eg. "friendly", "snowboarding" etc. against a UserProfile or Event. I then want to use a Tag cloud to show the different tags and they can find objects with similar tags.

I'll have to put aside some time and investigate this in more detail.

Hi Michael,

I finally got round to implementing this - check out my Group Category Cloud
I am impressed - I am adding Tag Clouds for Groups, Leagues and a whole lot of other things...
