Word/Tag Cloud widget

[Lance_A__Simon]

Hi there,

I'm looking for a CF8 module/widget to produce a user-viewable word cloudd from a list of tags and/or document words, like what is found at http://www.tagcrowd.com/. I looked in RIA Forge but did't find this.

Is there a Web 2.0 wizard who's got this done?!

Thanks!

Hi Lance,

Here is a code snippet where "count" on the second line is the number of occurrences of the word or category that you are putting in the tag cloud. The font size is a variable that has a min and max size. Hope this helps.

Hi,
raw example below:

cheers, fober

<cfparam name="text" default="This is a test for test purposes.">

<cfoutput>
<form method="post">
<textarea name="text" rows="20" cols="60">#text#</textarea><br>
<input type="Submit" name="submit" value="Generate!">
</form>
</cfoutput>

<cfif text is "">
<cfabort>
</cfif>

<cfset words= StructNew()>

<cfoutput>
<cfloop list="#text#" index="word" delimiters=" .">
<cfif not listfind("& to of from for the at he she it a is in and or", word, " ")>
<cfif StructKeyExists(words, "#word#")>
<cfset count= StructFind(words, "#word#")>
<cfset x= StructUpdate(words, "#word#", "#count+1#")>
<cfelse>
<cfset x= StructInsert(words, "#word#", "1")>
</cfif>
</cfif>
</cfloop>

<!--- <cfdump var="#words#" expand="No"> --->

<div style="width:100%; border: 1px solid green;">TEST</div>

<div style="width:100%; border: 1px solid blue;">
<cfloop collection="#words#" item="word">
<cfif StructFind(words, "#word#") GT 2>
<cfset size= 10 + StructFind(words, "#word#")*2>
<div style="border: 1px solid red; display: inline; font-size: #size#px"> #word# </div>
</cfif>
</cfloop>
</div>
</cfoutput>
