Report

First, let me thank you for the excellent module!

It served my purpose almost out of the box. The only thing missing was integration with Joom!Fish. Luckily, I managed to make a small modification of your original module so that it works with Joom!Fish. The modification shows tags in language currently selected. Please let me know if you would be interested in this and I'll send you the source code.

This is the best cloud I used. But after a new install I cant figure out how to configure it again as it was.

If I viewed a page the cloud contains the tags I entered for that page, but now it only shows the same words over and over and not even the page tags. I installed the plugin but this only gave me tags under or above my articles.

I dont understand whats wrong because it worked perfectly on my old site.

Nothing bad about this component besides the website, I dont understand the language.
byeochoa on April 26, 2009
This is a great add-on for any site running on joomla. I only gave it a 4 star because the tag still somewhat doesn't picks up exact word, for instance diam should be diameter or dolo instead of dolore, and some tags don't understand I don't think they're english. Yes I have it on mb_strtolower function. btw I have 1.5.9. but over all GREAT add-on.
Owner's reply

Please check it in the new version and send your feedbacks. Thanks.

Its very easy to use, and its great! it´s look like very good.
byrkhare on March 14, 2009
It does exactly what I want and its very smooth, its up and running in just 2 minutes.
I'll recomend this to everyone as its SEO friendly too.
One querry that I have is that can we remove the credit line in the end i.e. "By Zaragoza Clouds".
your web page is not in English so can not read terms,
Owner's reply

You can remove the credits but please rerefer zaragozaonline.com in a credit or link section. Thanks :)

Excellent module but it doesn't support croatian letters like č, ć, ž, š, đ :(
Owner's reply

try now with the new mb_strtolower function :)
I think that now all it´s ok!

The module is very simple and the large number of parameters makes it very useful.
You can for instance define a black list of common words you want to exclude and a white list of what keywords must appear. This latter is very useful for setting expressions of 2 or 3 words which can't be computed automatically.
However, I only give a 4 stars fotr this one because I have a slight problem with excluding words containing the character ' like in french word "d'un" or "c'est".
This is the only place I found to publish this bug. I didn't found a contact or support section.
Owner's reply

Hello!
Thanks for the info, we are going to see to fix the bug!

Worked perfectly for me. Easy to install and manage. The keyword cloud shows same keywords in the meta keyword. No need to add tags separately to each article,like some other extensions. Save a lot of hassles and enhance SEO. Thanks once again.
byPaddyL on November 5, 2008
This module would work well if a few bugs could be fixed as follows:

1. The cloud picks up special tags used for plugins such as

{rokbox title=|my title| album=|photos|}images/stories/image.jpg{/rokbox}

In the cloud will appear '{rokbox', 'title=|my', 'title|' etc
Are there plans to exclude anything within {} ? as it is not always practical to use the blacklist for this purpose.

2. 'Include only this categories', 'Include only this seccions', 'Exclude this categories' and 'Exclude this seccions' do not work, and nothing appears in the cloud. If 'Dinamic tags' is set to yes then they are completly ignored. Is this a known bug that will be fixed?

3. Whitelist does not work.
Owner's reply

Hello everybody. We are going to publish next version in a few days. We will check these bugs. thanks a lot.

This module was very easy to install and the configuration is good. I think is should have the ability to select which fields, title, introtext and fulltext that you would like to include in the Cloud. Also, adding the meta keywords would be nice.
Component installed correctly and allowed me to configure it. But when I went to run it from my home page I got FATAL ERROR cannot find comVirtueMart Helper in line 156 and it disabled my site. I backed it out and all is well. I can't find support as their site is not in english so I post the error here. I am running 1.54 with SimpeSEF and the latest VirtueMart.

it does not work with french accents, and the copyright notice is far too intrusive.
Owner's reply

Hello lafactory.com

I know that this module works with french accents, please take note of this:
ATENTION: if the module shows bad characters (like ?) choose altrernative strtolower function in the module parameters options

And there is no copyright, this module is free and open

Thanks

The size of the word cloud is not proportional to the number of articles containing the word.

i.e. on my site, the word science is bigger than the word gender though I have 2 articles for the former and 4 for the latter...
byislatur on May 29, 2008
awesome! works as advertised. lots of options inside.

Would be nice to have the option to cloud the searches as well, also would be nice to randomize the cloud.
Owner's reply

Hello islatur, i have implemented the randomize function, the searches cloud will be implemented in 1.4 version !
thanks

byOblivion on May 14, 2008
great module, keep on the GREAT work!! ;)
Modul works as promised. Easy and simple install.

However I would like to see an option to display words ratings based on an article item and not global. This option would increased SEO value to the sky :)
Owner's reply

I have implemented your idea in this version. Lets see how it works! ;-)
thanks a lot

byLiliVG on April 10, 2008
I love how simple it is to set up, very straight forward.

But...When I try to include only, or exclude categories or sections, then none of the tags show up anymore. I don't know if I'm doing something wrong or if this is a bug.

Also, it would be great if this module was clone-able, but when I tried, it gives me a fatal error that something cannot be redeclared, so no cloning this module! I wanted to make separate tag sets for different sections or categories, but no can do.
With joomla 1.5 SEF urls option turned on and then clicking on a link in Zaragoza's output gives error 500. There is no error when SEF is turned off
Owner's reply

Hello!
We have checked the code and we have verified that the module works ok with SEF.

You need to reload the navigator.
It´s true that old links gives error 500 with SEF turned on. You must reload the navigator and check with the new SEF links.

The only problem are the google indexed pages, for a time they will give an error.... But i think we cannot fix that ¿bug?.

Thanks for all the help!! It´s Great.

byglaster on March 26, 2008
These guys know what they are doing. The module works out of the box (on Joomla! 1.0.15) and it has exactly the configuration options needed to balance great performance with great usability.
Limiting the number of rows to search is a great idea, simple and effective.
