Module Nimbus for Joomla! 1.6 & Joomla-Tags

I came across Joomulus module a while ago (Joomulus at Joomla Extensions JED), it goes through your Joomla! articles content and create a tag cloud.

A tag cloud or word cloud (or weighted list in visual design) is a visual depiction of user-generated tags, or simply the word content of a site, used typically to describe the content of web sites. Tags are usually single words and are typically listed alphabetically, and the importance of a tag is shown with font size or color.

This is the solution you are looking for, and you should not need to read any further if you DO NOT USE Joomla! Tags from Phil Taylor.

But I am using a proprietary tagging solutions: Joomla Tags from Phil Taylor (http://www.joomla-tags.com)

Joomla Tags is a Joomla Extension for adding tags to Joomla Content. Use Joomla Tags to allow content classification by keywords (Tags), can also be used to create virtual categories to add content into, over coming Joomla! single section/category structure

That’s why I decide to dump Joomulus, and mix both solutions (Joomulus, Joomla tags) to create a new module: Nimbus (Free GPl v3)

So for resuming

• You want to use/have a license of Joomla! tags from Phil Taylor (http://www.joomla-tags.com): You can use the module Nimbus to have a great visual effect
• You dont want to pay for a tagging solution, go for Joomulus (http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/6493/details) or Joomla! Tags (http://www.joomlatags.org/)

What’s new

NEW: version 1.6.0 is only for Joomla! 1.6
NEW: This version use the Joomla! build in update manager, just browse to the page Extension Manager: Update (at yoursite/administrator/index.php?option=com_installer&view=update) to fetch and update this extension with one click
NEW: Use Joomla! templating best practices
NEW: Now use the /media directory
NEW: Embeded documentation windows to live wiki page for always up to date documentation

Features

• Native Joomla! 1.5/1.6 module,
• Code produced is XHTML 1.0 Strict,
• Tested in the following browser Firefox, Opera, Chrome, IE 8
• Approved at Joomla Extension JED,
• GPL v3.0,
• Non commercial.
