Some benchmarking proved me correct as it takes 20ms out of 90ms total on my setup to build and render.</p> <p>However after studying your code, it also occurs to me since you call the built in bb_related_tags on each of the tags as a separate query, that's going to be at least 20-40 extra mysql calls which would be horrible. I can't run your code to prove my theory but if you use my bb-benchmark you can let me know if I am right?</p> <p>I am looking at an alternate way to cache the tags with a single mysql query and build the resulting related tags in memory via php instead. I also would like to cache the output to disk in bb-cache so that logged-out users all see a cached copy of the tags that is only rendered again when a new tag is added (or removed). </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-977 Sun, 06 Apr 2008 03:39:34 +0000 _ck_ 977@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Nice demo. It's a shame most browsers don't support text-shadow to do a nice glow around the words instead of the dramatic block effect. I've come up with a (weak) alternative to set opacity dimmer on the links normally and then turn it off (opacity:1) when hover.</p> <p>I think if I add my coloured heat map trick to yours it will be the ultimate map.</p> <p>ps. I still get on 1.0.2 <code>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting T_OLD_FUNCTION or T_FUNCTION or T_VAR or &#39;}&#39; in /public_html/forums/my-plugins/enhanced-tag-heat-map.php on line 105</code> </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-976 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 19:34:07 +0000 so1o 976@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>the demo of the plugin on my site here.. </p> <p><a href="http://www.adityanaik.com/forums/" rel="nofollow">http://www.adityanaik.com/forums/</a> </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-973 Sat, 05 Apr 2008 08:42:34 +0000 _ck_ 973@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>I've now figured out how to do colour gradients across the heat map, using specified colours (with colour "waypoints" too!)

Probably has to do with negative margins. Might make it look better. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-964 Wed, 02 Apr 2008 13:15:43 +0000 _ck_ 964@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>benbeltran, I'd love to see the code you use to vary the colours?<br /> Is it just a hack of the existing code or you wrote your own? </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-960 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 19:31:40 +0000 _ck_ 960@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Yes it's the 0.8 branch, latest build.<br /> But it's much more likely a PHP 4 issue :-(</p> <p>If anyone has it up and running anywhere I'm curious to at least see a screenshot or live demo of how it looks? </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-959 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 17:50:18 +0000 so1o 959@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>@benbeltran</p> <p>sure.. i'll add that as a feature in future releases. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-958 Mon, 31 Mar 2008 06:30:25 +0000 benbeltran 958@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>I built a plugin for my own forums that also allows to define lightest color and darkest color (to add more depth.)</p> <p>I can share the code (which sucks btw) and maybe it can be implemented. </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-956 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 12:43:14 +0000 so1o 956@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>I think it could be php 4.. </p> <p>0.9 version you mean the 0.8 branch from the trac? </p> http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/enhanced-tag-heat-map/#post-955 Sun, 30 Mar 2008 05:05:22 +0000 _ck_ 955@http://bbpress.org/plugins/ <p>Sounds fascinating but can't activate.
