This generates a fantastic tag cloud which links to your search, making it not only user friendly but effective, too. The search returns a short sentence containing the tagged word so your user can decide which article is the most relevant. You can add or exclude as many words as you wish so you generate the cloud you want. My one criticism is that every time I go back into configuration, I manage to delete my list of blacklisted words and have to do them again. More likely to be me than the component, no doubt. |

I didn't think that finding a good cloud module would be that hard, but after trying the 3 alternatives, Raf Cloud does (almost) everything I want! Displaying meta-keywords(!) in a cloud.
Both, the collection of tags as well as the cloud module are higly configurable.
The only thing I'm missing is, that the search results should be limited to those where the tag appears in the metatag and not just in the content.
Still... nice work! Very pleased:-)
btw: I had issues with no keywords appearing at all. After uninstalling and reinstalling the module, everything worked fine! |

This is very good stuff. Easy installing of module and component and great to use and see on the front page.
If you click on a word in the cloud a great short view of the articles are showed with the possibility to click on it to go to the article.
Many thanks for all the work!

Wow, no offence to other solutions for tag cloud, this is by far the best. Works flawlessly, as far as my testing goes so far. Very configurable, easy options for black listing non essential words, ability to limit words in the cloud to tags only.
Very nice integration with other plugins / modules. |

| Sef support not compatible with OpenSEF by danielck, December 9, 2007 |

Great module. It has everything I need for my website. However, the Sef support is not compatible with OpenSEF.
Enabling the Sef support will cause the tag clouds to generate urls that will lead to error404 page. Owner's reply: This problem is solved in the new version. |

Despite the fact that Raf Cloud generates keywords based on actual content instead of using those in the meta data, which I'd prefer, it's a solid component that gets the job done with a number of options to tweak. Once you publish a tag, though, it works off of the search function which does uses the meta data keywords, so it's all good in the end. I'm using it on www.spindlezine.com and it was easy to install and configure, and maintaining it has been a snap.
The one major flaw is its slim blacklist, making the manual process of suppressing the most common words a bit of a pain. Hopefully that can be remedied in the next update...? |

Easy as, works beautifully. I just came across this and though I would give it a try. It is easy and straightforward to set up, and displays right away, lots of options to customise.
Congratulations, and thanks.
