Extension talk:Cumulus


 * Categories are recovered by a sub-version of Extension:NiceCategoryList2 extension
 * What does that mean? Is Extension:NiceCategoryList2 a requirement?
 * No - you don't need to install that to get it working Turbo Dragon 12:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)

It does not fix the issue of several instances on the same page causing a a "No Flash" error, but that's not critical since I only used it for testing...
 * I followed the instructions on the page, but it doesn't seem to work for me: http://www.coreboot.org/User:Stepan -- the second cumulus tag on the page prints a message "This will be shown to users with no Flash or Javascript.", and the first one has an empty tag cloud. Any ideas?
 * It is because the SWFObject is now incompatible - if you use the swfobject.js from the wordpress package, then you should be Ok - it worked for me! Turbo Dragon 12:32, 29 September 2009 (UTC)
 * No, sorry, no luck with any version of SWFObject. I don't think this is the problem. Meanwhile I can't get any output from the plugin at all anymore, but I do get this in the logs:
 * Ha, found it:

base
You must replace Category:Base_Category by the top category of the tree

=My version for no sub-category=

Hi - I had trouble with this in my wiki which has few categories. The main problem seemed to be that only sub-categories were being added, and that I don't have a main "root" category...

So I used the tagcloud extension code to make the extension show all of the categories. Also in the code are some filename fixes as the original assumed that /extension was a link to the extensions folder - this should probably use system-wide mw constants though...

= Extension don't work properly = It does not work properly for me, I have the same message: "This will be shown to users with no Flash or Javascript." (see pic.). I have read a manual, used various combinations of installation and the distribution kit, but it has not helped me. My version of system: Your extension is very useful, I'd like to use it in my wiki.

API of swfobject changed with versions 2.0 and upper. You MUST use version 1.5 max to make this extension work, which can be found here
