Administrators can configure the Tag Cloud portlet. You
can configure each individual tag cloud portlet instance separately.
To do this, use the Edit Shared Settings option
from the portlet context menu.
Configure the following options:
- Action modes
- You can choose between two action modes. Depending on the option
that you select, clicking a tag by a user can have to two different
results:
- Redirect to tag center
- If you have this action mode selected and a user clicks a tag,
the portal displays the Tag Center. It shows
a list of resources that have been tagged with the tag that the user
selected.
- Expose public render parameter
- If you have this action mode selected and a user clicks a tag,
the tag cloud exposes a shared render parameter to which other portlets
can react.
- Scoping modes
- Select the scoping mode for the tag clouds shown to users. You
can set scoping either by categories, or by type schemes, or no scoping.
- No scoping
- If you select this scoping mode, the tag cloud will not be scoped.
- Scope by categories
- This scoping mode scopes the tag cloud by categories that you
define. Example categories are books or movies.
- Scope by type schemas
- This scoping mode scopes the tag cloud by type schemas that you
define. For example, for pages and portlets this is usually a URI
that begins with the string http:/ .
Use the following entry fields to type categories and
type schemas that you want to use as scopes:- Categories to be used as scopes
- Type the categories that you want to make available as scopes.
Specify a comma separated list.
- Type schemas to be used as scopes
- Type the type schemas that you want to make available as scopes.
Specify a comma separated list.
Select from the following pull-down menus
to determine which scopes you want to show to users for selection
and which scopes you want to preselect for automatic scoping:
- Scopes displayed for selection by the user
- Use this selection menu to determine which scopes you want to
make available to users for scoping their tag cloud:
- Preconfigured scopes
- Select this option to allow scopes that you configured by categories
or type schemas.
- Transmitted scopes
- Select this option to allow scopes that portlets transmit as additional
scopes.
- Preconfigured and transmitted scopes for the selected tags
- Select this option to allow both preconfigured and transmitted
scopes.
- None
- When you select this option, no scopes will be shown for selection
to users.
- Preselected scopes
- Use this selection menu to define which scopes will be preselected
for automatic scoping of the tag cloud:
- Preconfigured scopes
- Select this option to preselect scopes that you configured by
categories or type schemas.
- Transmitted scopes
- Select this option to preselect scopes that portlets transmit
as additional scopes.
- Preconfigured and transmitted scopes
- Select this option to preselect both preconfigured and transmitted
scopes.
- None
- When you select this option, no scopes will be preselected for
tag clouds.
Note: For more details about scopes, how they work,
and how you can use them refer to the portal documentation about tagging
and rating.
- Display Settings
- Select from the following options as required:
- Default view mode
- Choose between Cloud and List view
modes by clicking the appropriate radio button:
- Display related tags only
- If you check this option, the Tag Cloud portlet shows only tags
that have been applied to the listed resources, not the tags that
are generally most popular. In other words, this option suppresses
tags that have not been applied to the listed resources. Checking
this option can make it easier for users to find content related to
the selected tags.
- Minimum number of tags to display
- Select the minimum number of tags that the tag cloud shows to
users. This number also defines the minimum position of the slider
or other user interface control for scrolling the listed tags.
- Maximum number of tags to display
- Select the maximum number of tags that the tag cloud can show
to users. This number of tags is shown to users when they place the
slider at the maximum position.
- Default position of the slider
- Type a number to define the default position of the slider or
other user interface control for scrolling the listed tags. This number
also determines how many tags are shown by default.
- Allowed views
- Check all views that you want to make available to users to select
from:
- All
- Select this view so that users can choose to view the most popular
tags in the currently selected scope, except for their own private
tags.
- Latest
- Select this view so that users can choose to view only the most
recently created public tags.
- Personal
- Select this view so that users can choose to view only those tags
that they have assigned themselves.
- Private
- Select this view so that users can choose to view only those
tags that they have assigned as private tags.
