new tag cloud option

tomoscott

It appears that you can either have a moving tag cloud or a plain list of keywords. The moving cloud is nice, but trying to "snag" a keyword is more like a video game than a good UI. The straight list is plain and boring.

I would like a 3rd alternative, a keyword list with different sizes showing usage:

rare not so common average more common ubiquitous

By default it actually colours keywords stronger that are more popular:

(not sure how "more popular" is determined though exactly).

You can make it change font sizes as well by adding CSS:

.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keywords-list>a {
	line-height:0.8;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-one {
	font-size:100%;	
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-two {
	font-size:110%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-three {
	font-size:120%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-four {
	font-size:130%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-five {
	font-size:140%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-six {
	font-size:150%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-seven {
	font-size:160%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-eight {
	font-size:170%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-nine {
	font-size:180%;
}
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-ten {
	font-size:190%;
}

That looks like:

Thanks, Lamah -- that's exactly what I needed!

So I did some playing around with this to see what's going on (since I couldn't get my keyword list to look like it does in legacy). It turns out keywords 2-10 are each a single keyword, ranked by how often it is used. Keyword 1 is everything else. So that means all but 9 of your keywords will look exactly the same in the list. Then the 9 most used keywords stand out in the boring uniform field of text. You can see this behavior in the your screenshot or mine below.

On legacy, the rankings were spread much more evenly. I don't know exactly how they did it, but I'm guessing the top 10% most used keywords are tens, the next 10% are nines, the bottom 10% are ones, and so on.

Smugmug, sorry to once again ask that you go back to the way you did it in legacy!

Here are a couple screenshots:

Legacy:


New:


Used to look a lot more dynamic... all without the ~40 lines of code I used for new smug. Not every theme emphasizes more popular keywords by default.

Note that keyword highlighting class properties vary from theme to theme. In Spartan, which I use, all the keyword numbers have the same format. One can, of course, redefine the classes

.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-one
.sm-user-ui .sm-page-widget-keywords .sm-keyword-two
etc.

to have whatever one wants.
