Extension talk:CategoryCloud

I'm using a german MediaWiki Version 1.9.3. The Extension doesn't work, every Category seems to be empty. I changed the SQL-Statement to:

$sql = 'SELECT cl.cl_to as name, count(*) as count ' . ' FROM categorylinks cl' . ' LEFT JOIN page AS p on p.page_title = cl.cl_to' . ' WHERE cl.cl_to LIKE '. $dbr->addQuotes($categoryName) . ' GROUP BY cl.cl_to' . ' ORDER BY '. $order;

Now it works. Have fun.

Proposed Extension
Well... I added a tag in mine so it displays the article/subcategory count for each category. Just add this after line 221: if ($args["showcount"]) { $catCount = $categories[str_replace(" ", "_", $cat)]; $text .= " $catCount "; } Then it's as easy as

Of course I could've saved the category name var before the "_"s where changed to " ", but I wanted to keep your code unscathed. --Phenome 15:35, 2 June 2007 (UTC)

Recursivity
"the extension does not recursively go through the sub-categories for additional categories." - Pity... it would be great if it did that. :) -- Schneelocke 20:09, 21 June 2007 (UTC)

Tag for every article in the given category
It generates a tag for every sub-category, but not article, in the given category. >> It should ;) And besides the option as tag cloud maybe like the regular list but different font sizes. --Sub

Installation/Use
Could someone perhaps add a section of Installation and Use? I'm assuming you save it as TagCloud.php in the extension directory and then in LocalSettings.php you use require_once("$IP/extensions/TagCloud.php"); Can anyone confirm? I would even make the section myself if this is correct.

1.10.1 Problems
Notice: Undefined index: class in MYWIKIPATH/extensions/CategoryCloud/CategoryCloud.php on line 199

Notice: Undefined index: style in MYWIKIPATH/extensions/CategoryCloud/CategoryCloud.php on line 203 The above error occurs consistently with CategoryCloud enabled on my mediawiki 1.10.1 website. If anyone knows how to fix this or has had this problem before any assistance would be appreciated. Otherwise I'm going to take a look at the wikitagcloud extension and see if it can do (or can be modified to do) the same thing as the categorycloud extension. --Diploid 20:27, 24 August 2007 (UTC)
