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)

No flash error

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.

 * MediaWiki: 1.15.0
 * PHP: 5.2.8 (apache2handler)
 * MySQL: 5.1.30-community-log

version of swfobjet
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

 * still does not work.

It depends on your relative path
On Ubuntu (10.04 server), I got the same problem. If you have the  active in your /etc/mediawiki/apache.conf, you could change some lines in the cumulus.php, so that the extensions can be found. See the fragment in the example on this discussion page (section: ). Check the paths for swfobject.js and tagcloud.swf in this sample and compare it with yours:

I hope it helps...
