A plugin in wordpress does that but it uses the minimum color for a certain threshold and for the rest the maximum. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fading-heatmap#post-7616 Thu, 24 May 2007 05:43:50 +0000 box87 7616@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>What would be great (and doable too) is to set a minimum and maximum color, like you can with font size. It can't be too hard... maybe someone can see about pluginatizing (English?) it. I will, if and when I have time. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fading-heatmap#post-7604 Wed, 23 May 2007 17:36:30 +0000 benbeltran 7604@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>@box, thanks for the comments ... yeah it's really a matter of keeping your users happy because in the end they're the ones that decide if your site gets hits or not :P ... in this particular case, the market - videogame enthusiasts - is one where people tend to identify their tastes in games with signatures... And of course there are regulations on the height and width of the sigs.</p> <p>@wmarcy, well ... i have the badges system that is a semi-plugin (i'm still learning about it), and this hack ... i edited the bb_get_tag_heat_map function in template-functions to add this code:</p> <pre><code>if(( $smallest + ( ( $count - $min_count ) * $fontstep ) ) &lt; $smallest+1){ $color = &quot;color:#f9a692;&quot;; }else if(( $smallest + ( ( $count - $min_count ) * $fontstep ) ) &lt;= $largest/2){ $color = &quot;color:#f5795b;&quot;; }else{ $color = &quot;color:#f24c24;&quot;; }</code></pre> <p>right after the </p> <pre><code>foreach ( $counts as $tag =&gt; $count ) {</code></pre> <p>And then i just echoed $color next to $unit; some lines below.</p> <p>I know it's not the proper way to do it :P but it's how i know, i'm sure someone will come up with a better option for this :P </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fading-heatmap#post-7597 Wed, 23 May 2007 01:22:54 +0000 wmarcy 7597@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Can you give directions for your hacks? </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fading-heatmap#post-7595 Tue, 22 May 2007 22:30:05 +0000 box87 7595@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I quite like the idea of the different colors in the heatmap. The theme overall is quite pleasing to the eye.<br /> I personally don't like having images in the sig, but that's a personal thing. It seems to me that when users have a huge image in their signature, it takes away from the site that they're on and ends up being self-promotion more than anything else. I'm not against self-promotion at all, though. There is a time and a place for everything, and I think the place for something of that nature would be a clearly labeled separate forum.<br /> Very nice though. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/fading-heatmap#post-7594 Tue, 22 May 2007 20:13:27 +0000 benbeltran 7594@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>I edited the heatmap on <a href="http://temporadadepatos.net/foros/">my forums</a> to make the smaller tags lighter and the bigger tags darker, this emphasizes the bigger tags and gives a sense of depth in the cloud. Right now i have three levels of color, but it could be easily adapted to use more levels.</p> <p>In a sort-of unrelated issue, i also added image support to the signatures :).</p> <p>What do you think? </p>
