I have the same question. Did you find an answer to this?

Thanks again Roy.

The number of tags will be growing exponentially at first so keeping a white/black list would be unfeasible.

It is still looking like multiple installs are the ugly way forward, with one parent install acting as the menu, and all the others as children.

It should be OK for tags from Blog A to show on Blog A. However I am wondering how the parent represent the results or clicking on side-by-side clouds.

It is looking unlikely that having clouds side by side is feasible. Which is a real shame. The whole premise of this site was that a user could compare clouds without having to click between two pages.

If it ends up being one cloud per blog, then i guess the best way forward would be to make all sites identical and hardcode the menus with outbound links.

I tried to approach this problem from a different angle, and contracted joomla bear about the joomulus port. They have said an old version of joomulus called a tags function, and that if they can find then it should be possible to rewrite that to call the joomla tags table. Then with a bit of hacking I may be able to exclude tag results based on category/section. I have emailed them repeatedly asking if they have found the code and heard nothing yet. I am guessing in this case no news is not good news.

So, again I am going to trouble you with some questions:

1. If joomlabear are unable to find the old version of the module, could you suggest a version of cumulus that would be good to port from for a joomla module, or further develop as a wordpress plugin?

2. As it is looking likely that I’ll be paying for custom development (either for a Joomla module or WordPress plugin) would you be interested?

3. If not is there anybody you would recommend as having good cumulus knowledge to take on the port/wp customization.

4. Am I crazy for even attempting this?

Actually, don’t answer that last one!

Regards,
John

Thanks Roy. How about this for a hack then….

So I can have multiple clouds, but essentially a one cloud to wp install relationship. How about if I were to have multiple wp installs on the same domain. Would it be possible to show the clouds from the child installs on the parent screen? Perhaps with an iframe?

– parent
– parent/child
– parent/child

Again, many many thanks in advance.

Can you think of any other way of showing side-by-side clouds with separate information?

Thanks alanft, I am investigating that now.

Did you get an answer to this from elsewhere? I have the same issue.

I’ll post here if I can find anything.

sorry I also meant to note;

I am using permalinks with the category name… so perhaps some sort of regex wizadry could be done?
