Yup!
The notion of tag is not something known to XWiki
core. Currently tags
are only known at the level of the default wiki so we should probably
put the tag cloud code there. As your code below requires some logic,
maybe the best is to use Groovy to replace the Java part. You could then
have everything located on a single page.
Mmm. Okay, I went with what Guillaume suggested, and made a xar and jar
out of it, and contributed it as a plugin:
http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Code/TagCloud
But I do see your point about eliminating the java-side of this. The
logic isn't that hard to implement as a groovy script or velocity macro,
I guess.
The next question is: a Panel or a Page?
I'm tempted to say both. I think we should include the tag cloud in the
Main.Tags page and we could provide a Panel too.
WDYT?
Well, if it were only a page (or a "snippet"?) it might be easier for
people to include it wherever they want, including in panels? But you
guys more familiar with the level of expertise and mode of use amongst
the xwiki masses, so I leave this for you to decide :-)
Also, I agree with Sergiu that it would be better if the font size would
be calculated relatively to the number of ocurrences. Good thinking!
I have created a jira issue for this:
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-1311
I just did an update there.
Would you be interested in working on this and
finishing this?
Sure!
If so, could you please attach the result to that JIRA
issue for
inclusion in SVN?
I'm not sure I understood this. Do you want me to commit stuff to svn,
or attach stuff to the JIRA issue?
Thanks for the enthusiasm on this! I have a couple of thoughts on how
tags currently behave in xwiki, but I'll try to write a separate email
on that subject a bit later.
cheers :-)
