Hi there,

I've created my first Umbraco package for rendering a Tag Cloud. Details and download can be found here.

Great job, what would be nice is to show an example of creating a tag cloud in combination with Per's tagging package

@Dirk:
Thanks. Would be great to here about your experience.

@Tim:

The Tagging package stores the tags in the same way as the blog package does. They both use a comma seperated string.

Therefore the only you have to do is:
1) correct the xpath expression to get all nodes from which you wanna count the tags
2) pass the alias of the property where the tags are stored
3) correct the link pattern to fit your needs

I just installed the package and gave it a try. Works fine.

Did you already try the tag cloud with the tagging package? If yes what is the problem?

Regards
Chris

Hey Chris,

Thanks for doing this! It works great with Per's package - took only 5 minutes to implement. If you're brave (the site is not very serious) you can see it here:
