Django tag tag clouds

django-nuages-tag Description

django-nuages-tag is a simple Django TemplateTag (named compute_tag_cloud) to help in the creation of tag clouds.Tiny tutorialInstall the app in your Django projectThis should be as simple aspip install django-nuages-tagand adding ‘django_nuages_tag’ to your INSTALLED_APPS settings.Example usage1. Source dataGiven that we have a my_favourite_tools context variable defined like this:my_favourite_tools = Note: example shows a simple list, but this also works with a Django QuerySet.2. Compute the tag cloudWe can now do:{% compute_tag_cloud my_favourite_tools interest font_size 10 100 lin %}compute_tag_cloud will add a font_size attribute to each element in my_favourite_tools that is contained between 10 and 100 and is representative of the value of interest. The last parameter (lin) asks to use a linear formula to compute this tag cloud. Another option is to use a logarithmic formula (use the log parameter). You should test both options, but log will probably give you better results if there is a large variation in the values you want to compute.Our source data now looks like:my_favourite_tools = 3. Render the tag cloudThis can be done very easily with the for tag and basic HTML/CSS. For example:{% for tool in my_favourite_tools %} < span style="font-size: {{ tool.font_size }}px;" > {{ tool.name }} < /span >{% endfor %}Notes- compute_tag_cloud can be called multiple times in a row to generate multiple values. We can for example compute the font size (between 10 and 55), but also the margin (between 5 and 28) and the opacity (between 0.7 and 1) of the text with something like: {% compute_tag_cloud my_favourite_tools interest font_size 10 55 lin %} {% compute_tag_cloud my_favourite_tools interest margin 5 28 lin %} {% compute_tag_cloud my_favourite_tools interest opacity 0.7 1 lin %} {% for tool in my_favourite_tools %} < span style="font-size: {{ tool.font_size }}px; margin: {{ tool.margin }}px; opacity: {{ tool.opacity }}" >{{ tool.name }}< /span > {% endfor %}- The counter parameter (interest in our example) can be an attribute, a method to be called or a dictionary key.Product's homepage
