Joomla Templates

Hello all,

has anyone a idea what I have to change in the code that the motion of the cloud works every time and not only when mouseover ?

Best regard from Germany

:blink: Juergen:lol: :kiss:

It does currently work with mouseover? Do you mean whenever the mouse moves on the screen? Because that would be a little tricky

Hallo!

I would like to achieve the same.

We need the cloud moving constantly not slowing down. It should be a kinf of infinite loop.

Within the module parameters you can set "distribute evenly". It distributes evenly but slows down until the motion stops completely. In the source code of the module I cannot find any parameter telling the cloud to stop moving.

Can someone help, please?

@Jürgen: have you already found a solution on your own?

Thanks,
Alexander

Hallo!

Does anyone have a hint for me? Would appreciate it :-)

Thanks,
Alexander

I'll remind Bambi to look at this tomorrow.

Thanks! Do you have any feedbeack from Bambi? :-)

I am looking for this also....

Yes, me too.

Something so that it doesn't completely stop.

Another thing that would be cool would be if that it could wake up and move faster every so often.

A bump timer!!! Every n secs it gets a little bump and then slows down to 5% but not stop. Random bump locations would be really cool.

Hows that for a wish list.

This is a great mod though, thanks!!

:) these are cool suggestions - Bambi is the developer for Joomulus so I'll be sure to make sure to alert him to these posts - the only thing is we've been quite busy of late...

Hallo, are there any interesting news availabe on this? :-)

Constant move of the tags would really be a great feature.

Thanks!
Alexander

I would like constant motion as well.

On www.roytanck.com/tag-cloud/, which tagcloud seems connected to Joomulus, I read:
Hi Jon. There are no undocumented features whatsoever, but it slowdown effect is quite easy to disable if you’re able to edit the sources a bit and recompile the movie (which basically means: if you have Flash installed and know the bare basics).

Simply open up the tagcloud.as file, find the line that says “active = false; and change false to true. Then scroll down a bit and comment out the next two lines bij adding a double slash in front of each one.

stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, mouseExitHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);

That should disable the motion easing and mouse exit detection. If you want to have the cloud move constantly in one direction no matter where the mous is, scroll down a bit further to the “updateTags” function and set the ‘a’ and ‘b’ variables to fixed values.

Butt these recommandations don't seem to apply for Joomulus. Could you give us similar recommandation for Joomulus!? If you do, we can establish constant motion ourselves.

Thanks!

Anybody find a way to have the cloud moving constantly, that will be a great addition.

It seem to be (most of the time) in constant motion in Firefox 3.5.8 Safari 4.0.3
Sometime you have to click one time in the window to start it up but most of the time you get constant motion.

It seem to work when the page take is focus or on mouseover.

I really need to make it work.

Ready to pay for a solution....

Ok Karma is right you have to decompile the SWF you use — In my case the tagcloud_eng.swf
There you can find the file TagCloud.as

I try with Sothink Decompiler - do Karma changes (didn’t work)

I will try again

I was able to have constant motion by downloading the Devellopment version for wordpress at: wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cumulus/download/

Doing the changes that Kharma shown:
Simply open up the tagcloud.as file (or in flash), find the first line that says “active = false; and change false to true. Then scroll down a bit and comment out the next two lines bi adding a double slash in front of each one.

stage.addEventListener(Event.MOUSE_LEAVE, mouseExitHandler);
stage.addEventListener(MouseEvent.MOUSE_MOVE, mouseMoveHandler);

After I resave the FLA to SWF in my case (tagcloud_eng.swf)

The only thing that I lost is the rollover and link from the cloud...

The files seem differents for wordpress and Joomla...

This mean that we only need the develloper version for Joomla (here) and make the changes...

Somebody can maybe give the link for the Joomla develloper version?

I try to decompile the flash file (joomla) and resave as swf without changes but the cloud diseappear. Sothink decompiler is the culprit here. Luckily by having the dev Fla version from Word press I was able to make it work

take a look at www.hypnomentaliste.com/

The cloud is in constant motion but no more links and rollover.
Wasn’t really matter for me because I’m using Joomulus as a graphic animation only.

I really like to be able to keep the links. I’m sure that if I have the original fla and files we probably be able to tweak it to make it work and do other stuff (like modifying the font and more....
