Zend_Tag_Cloud Screencast
Friday, April 24, 2009
Hey folks, I just managed it to get the screencast about Zend_Tag_Cloud done. There's a bit noise left in the audio which I could not remove because the sound was getting too low, but it is still fine and watchable. The entire file is about 100MB in size and encoded as DivX/MP3. I also uploaded it to blip.tv for those who prefer to watch screencasts in their browser. Have fun watching and I appreciate any feedback for further screencasts.Download the screencast

Thank you, now I have my tag clouds flying =)
Good job, Ben!
Nice work!
Well done for explaining the decorators!
Watched the screencast. Good job.
Are there methods available to generate the cloud by passing in an entire content body and having the class automatically parse, tokenize, and calculate the weights and return a generated cloud? Or better yet, passing in an entire HTML page and having the method strip, parse, etc...
What would you as "tags" in a content body / HTML page? Every single word? And well, if so, this would be the job of an additional Zend_Tag component, and not of Zend_Tag_Cloud ;)
Nice work on this. But IMHO, seeing that generating the tag list is a non-trivial task, a new functionality inside Zend_Tag namespace should be developed for tagging with persistent storage adapters. Something along the lines of Freetag (http://code.google.com/p/freetag/), but inline with ZF.
Really nice one, thx a lot!
Dado, Zend_Tag will get more sub-components, one to manage Tags in a database. Just wait for 1.9 :).
When I cannot decompress the sample code (Linux / Mac OS X) It seems like there is a symbolic link (zend-tag-cloud -> /mnt/www/projects/zend-tag-cloud/) but not the real content...
Thanks!
Whoops, nobody told me, thanks for the information, while fix it soon!
Thanks for the screencast Ben. Do you have any pointers on how to use the Zend_Tag_Taggable interface?
Good job! What I'm missing is a way to add the 'rel="nofollow"' attribute to the anchor tag (without writing my own decorator)...
