WordPress tag cloud widget version 2.0 for Jerome’s Keywords 2.0
September 6th, 2006 11:04:31 am pst by Sterling Camden
Jerome has released a 2.0 beta version of his famous Jerome’s Keywords plugin, on which my tag cloud widget is based. Some of the functions I used in my widget are no longer available, so the previous version of my widget will not work with it. Thus, I have updated the widget, which you can download below.
Jerome seems to have fixed the problems in the plugin itself that I mentioned here and here. When he releases this version from beta, I’ll remove my corrected versions. I’ll go ahead now and add updates to let people know about the beta.
Jerome also included all of my widget’s options (other than Title) in a new “Tag Cloud Display” section of the plugin’s options. So, I have removed those options from the widget option panel. Please go into “Options/Jerome’s Keywords” and update your tag cloud options there.
Note also that this version of the widget is not compatible with earlier versions of the plugin. If you need a widget for earlier versions of Jerome’s Keywords, get version 1.1 of the widget here.
UPDATE: Get the latest version with improved cache control here.

I wasn’t very specific with the last diagnosis: actually what is happening is that the tag keyword search page is not calling up the widget correctly.
The single pages are actually working fine.
Here’s an example of where it is breaking:

Anyone know where I can get Jerome’s Keywords 2.0? I really want to use the tag cloud, but the link to the beta version is unavailable.
Did you try this page? I can get there today.
I am using MYSQL5.0.33, I also encount this DB error,
This plugin is nice, is there any possible to make it MYSQL 5 compitabl?
Thanks

Check out comment #196 on this post.
Since Jerome is not responding to this issue, I may see if I have time to put put a corrected version soon. In the mean time, you could make the same change that the commenter did.

Hi,
How do I make it so that the tags display as a list instead of as it is currently displayed? I would like to display these tags like an unordered list.
Gemma,
Add the following to your theme’s style.css:
a.cosmos {
display: list-item;
}
BTW, have you gotten the most recent version of this widget, and the corrections for Jerome’s Keywords?
Thanks. It worked but I’d like to know how to display the >> sign next to each tag.
Also I get this error when I click on a tag – this replaces the Recnt Posts widget:
SELECT SQL_CALC_FOUND_ROWS dreamblog_posts.* FROM dreamblog_posts LEFT JOIN dreamblog_jkeywords AS jkeywords ON (dreamblog_posts.ID = jkeywords.post_id) LEFT JOIN dreamblog_jkeywords AS jkeywords ON (dreamblog_posts.ID = jkeywords.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND (post_type = ‘post’ AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘private’)) AND jkeywords.tag_name=’Abuse’ ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10
I posted this error on jerome’s website too but maybe someone can help here. I tried following the fix found on there but I don’t understand how to do it.
Cheers.
Do you mean having the chevron in place of the list bullet, or following the keyword?
I posted a fix for your SQL duplicate alias error here. All you have to do is download it and upload it to your site.
I mean like this:
>> tag
>> tag
>> tag
and so on.
As for the fix, I already uploaded it but it did not fix the problem.
Add this to style.css:
a.cosmos:before {
content: “>>”;
}
I don’t know why my fix wouldn’t solve your SQL problem. Maybe try deactivating and reactivating the Jerome’s Keywords plugin?
How do you correct this error code?
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/hiddenh1/public_html/resellsoftwarerights/wp-content/plugins/keywords-tagcloud.php on line 53
Download the most recent version, DaJuan.
What it’s subtlely trying to tell you is that you haven’t activated the Jerome’s Keywords plugin.
Gemma (and anyone else listening): I found a flaw in my correction for the duplicate alias error. I’ve fixed the download here.
