FatCloud, by [Netlife](http://www.netlife.com.au), comes with 2 built in themes: ‘Simple Skin’ and the popular ‘Wordle’ theme. Choose text angle, colour, size ratio and much more. Beautiful tag clouds that are accessible& SEO friendly. The `wp_fat_cloud()` function is an extension of the built-in WordPress wp_tag_cloud() function. It will accept all the same arguments, and generates almost identical mark-up, with some added JavaScript to render a SWF on top. FatCloud requires PHP 5.2+, JavaScript and the Adobe Flash Player 10+ browser plugin. ## Screenshots * [[ * An example of a FatCloud tag cloud using the ‘Wordle’ theme * [[ * General settings available * [[ * Settings available for the built-in ‘Wordle’ theme ## Installation 1. Upload the entire ‘netlifes-tag-cloud-fatcloud’ directory to your wp-content/plugins directory. 2. Enable the plugin in the WordPress Plugins menu 3. Configure FatCloud using the WordPress > Settings > FatCloud page. 4. Add the tag somewhere in your template. ## FAQ What are the system requirements for using FatCloud? FatCloud has been successfully tested with WordPress 2.7.1 on PHP5.2+. We have not tested it on 5.1.x. There is no support for PHP4 (sorry!). If you have problems on these (or other) configurations, feel free to [submit a comment](http://netlife.com.au/2009/06/28/wordle-your-wordpress-flash-based-tag-cloud-plugin/#comments) on Netlife. Why do I get an error after activating version 0.1? Our initial release did not allow for a different plugin folder name. If you downloaded version 0.1, parse errors are expected after activation i.e. ‘parse error, unexpected =,’. To resolve this temporary issue, FTP into your website and rename the plugin directory from ‘wp-content/plugins/netlifes-tag-cloud-fatcloud’ to ‘wp-content/ plugins/wp_fat_cloud’. We have since pushed up revision 0.2 to resolve this issue. Why does my browser freeze after I add new tags? FatCloud is doing some pretty hard-core rendering back there. Once it renders, it caches the render data on the server, but it needs to re-render whenever its data changes. A 45 second render time is pretty normal. It will happen only once after a new tag is added to wordpress. ## Reviews There are no reviews for this plugin. ## Contributors & Developers “Netlife’s Tag Cloud (FatCloud)” is open source software.
