Which swfobject.js
Downloading the swfobject2.2.zip package shows 2 swfobject.js files: One is in swfobject/ (~12k) and the other in swfobject/src/ (~28k), which one to use? (Btw, the wp-cumulus.1.23.zip also contains swfobject.js) Also do the files need to be set to a certain permission? chmod 644? Thanks for the awesome looking extension --SomaticJourney 11:46, 8 February 2010 (UTC)

You should not need the src (source) of this flash to function, but it may be useful if you wish to modify the flash pattern (elliptical pattern instead of circular, etc). Those changes would require a flash editor.

If you've installed cumulus, you already have what you need. Just add the Nimbus.php to you extensions/Nimbus directory, comment-out Cumulus and add Nimbus to your LocalSettings.php file (they won't work together, but Nimbus can replace Cumulus), i.e.:

# require_once("$IP/extensions/Cumulus/Cumulus.php"); require_once("$IP/extensions/Nimbus/Nimbus.php");

-Don't forget to turn-on the flash on your wiki page:

flash=1

These files are read & executed, I'd set permissions to 755.
 * Thanks for the speedy reply. FYI,  I didn't have Cumulus installed prior to Nimbus.  I also went back and re-uploaded swfobject.js (not the source) and set permissions to 755.  Made sure flash=1 was set and.... still no joy.  Example on my wiki :( --SomaticJourney
 * Same problem by me. Flash doesn't work. I've also tried with the two files located on your server (http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/extensions/Nimbus/swfobject.js and http://wiki.gis.com/wiki/extensions/Nimbus/tagcloud.swf). Maybe there is a problem in the PHP code provided on the extension page? --Laurent 18:07, 8 February 2010 (UTC)
 * Also same problem at my Mediawiki installation (15.1). The cloud works but there is no flash. Any ideas? The example on the demo page looks terrific!!! --MKeyler 08:50, 9 February 2010 (UTC)
