Hi yes.cool,

Your suggestion is implemented in the new version that I’ve just uploaded. Enjoy!

Peter

Hi again,

This is a good idea. I’m adding it into my “to do” list.

Thank you!

Peter

Hi yes.cool,

Actually this option is available now via third party plugins that create customized sidebars. For instance Virtual Sidebar creates such customized sidebars that you can put wherever you want in your posts and pages by simple shortcode. So when you create a widget instance you put it in that virtual sidebar, and add its shortcode into the page/post.
These kind of plugins allow you to include the cloud anywhere.

At this stage I have no plans for embedding similar functionality because the plugin even now is quite heavy.

Peter

Thank you Yorman,

I will take your suggestion.

Done: v. 4.6.1 prevents this case.

Peter

Hi again!

I added an additional check for that particular case. So now if image_cf() is selected without supplying an image URL it will be ignored. I will release this change later. Till then you follow my previous advice: add image URL or switch off Center Function by selecting “none”

Hi whitevv,

It has nothing to do with the new plugin version. Plugin works in FF 38.0.5 as well as in iPhone Safari without any problems.

From what I see what you experienced is connected with the image you want to use in your Center Function.

You have chosen image_cf() under BG IMG, TOOLTIPS, CURSOR, CENTER FN > CENTER FUNCTION > General settings > Function. In the same time you have deleted the default image URL without replacing it with another image URL in Image Center Function > URL.

So add image URL or switch off Center Function by selecting “none”.

I will see how to prevent FF from raising this issue.

Hi reorcs,

Adding new features to tag cloud imposes update of old instances in order to work. This can be done only manually by saving their sets of parameters.
But changes in last version are not connected with code change. Only a new shape function is added in an external file. So there should not be any problem.
Now would you please tell me what was your last working version? Are you using M or S version? Are you using it in one of standard sidebars or in a virtual sidebar in separate page/post? Would it be possible to create an instance on a separate testing post/page and give me a link to it?
I have tested new versions on standard WP themes. But incompatibility with other plugins is possible. Could you switch off your plugins and start switching on them one by one to check if this is the case?

Hi Dmitry,

Just open your widget instance and save it again without any changes. This should solve your problem. You can as well create a new widget instance and replace the old one, which will do the same.

Let me know if the problem persists.

Regards,

Peter

Hi again,

First of all thank you for finding this bug in the code. I fixed it. In a couple of days I’ll release the new 4.0 version of the plugin, so you will be able to create a cloud with center function the way you like it. In case you don’t want to wait do this:

Open s.cf.js file, go to line 21, which is the last code line of image_cf function:
c.drawImage(cfimg, w*f2/2, h*f2/2, w*f1, h*f1);)

and replace it with this code:

c.drawImage(cfimg, cx-(w/h<=1?w*f1/2:h*f1/2), cy-(w/h<=1?w*f1/2:h*f1/2), f1*(w/h<=1?w:h), f1*(w/h<=1?w:h));

Save the file and enjoy your design.

Regards,

Peter

Hi Jargonsp,

I’m glad you have resolved your problem.

Regarding image_CF I’ll come back to you soon. It’s 3:30 in the morning here and I need some sleep (I’m finalizing the new versions of the plugins.)

Don’t worry we will make it. ??

Hi again!
Would you clarify: Is “Virtual Sidebar” plugin difficult for you to use or it is simply not suitable for your case?
If you can’t use it try this plugin:AMR shortcode any widget.
By the way usually WP themes have header sidebars, so if you want to put the cloud there, instead of putting it on a page/post just find proper theme with such header sidebar.
If you still can’t cope with all these things, let me know, so I may try to do it for you, if you don’t mind of course.
As to pages code visibility – it is supposed to be that way, so no one can hide it. If you talk especially about canvas code it is visible, because it is based on HTML5 and not on Adobe Flash.

Hi regsw70,

Don’t worry, here is the solution:

You can achieve what you want by one of these plugins that allow inserting widgets in any place of a post or a page. I myself use “Virtual Sidebar”. Here are three examples. You can set preferred sizes and make alignment by html tags. It is easy to use it. I’m planning to make 3D WP Tag Cloud-M/S so that they can put instances directly on a post or a page without usage of another plugin.

Regards,
Peter

Dear Hi atiConker,

Sorry for initial misunderstanding. Here is my advice:
3D WP Tag Cloud plugins (M & S) create sidebar widgets. In order to put your cloud in the center of the screen your WP theme has to possess horizontal sidebars such as heather sidebar or footer sidebar. If they consist of several fields (areas) create a widget instance in the mid field but the cloud canvas should not exceed size of that field. Here is an example on my site (footer sidebar with 3 fields): https://peter.bg/. But this is not exactly what you want. So you can achieve it by one of those plugins that allow inserting widgets in any place of a post or a page. I myself use “Virtual Sidebar”. One can set preferred sizes and make alignment by html tags. Here are three examples.

Regards,
Peter
