Ryboe Tag Cloud V.1.01 Released
We received such a positive reaction after the release of the Ryboe Tag Cloud for WordPress Plugin. It seems that there are many people out there with WordPress blogs who are looking for a simple and elegant tag cloud to show off their category tags. Well, we are pleased to announce that we have added a nice little enhancement to the plugin in the form of an update — version 1.01.
We received a few emails from individuals who wished to use the tag cloud on their blog, however they were not using the default WordPress structure for category links. The original version of the plugin relied on the fact that the user was able to link to their categories in the following format:
<a href="/category/php">PHP</a>
However, it became apparent that many users could not use these nice "slug" links due to limitations of their web server (mod_rewrite issues, etc) or general favor in defining the links using the category ID in the following format:
<a href="/?cat=1">PHP</a>
We have included an option in the Ryboe Tag Cloud widget so that you may choose to "Use Nice Category Links". This option is a simple checkbox that you can select to use the

Hey. I like your plugin, but i have a bit of a patch to commit. When the links to the categories are made, theres no consideration for when the blog doesnt reside at the root of the domain. for example, my blog is at http://mikebach.org/blog, but the plugin tries to put the categories at mikebach.org/category/… Its an easy fix:
Line 108 becomes:
$link = isset($options[1]) ?
get_bloginfo('url').'/category/'.$value['slug'].'/' :
get_bloginfo('url').'?cat='.$value['id'];
and just after that, the line becomes
$key
If you've got any questions, feel free to contact me.
