Virto Tag Cloud Web Part for SharePoint 2007 (MOSS2007/WSS v.3)
Virto Tag Cloud is a simple and useful tool for effective structuring
your data stored in SharePoint lists, and providing easy navigation.
Tag cloud is an intuitive, simple and, thus, extremely popular way to
structure information.
Tag cloud has two main functions:
navigation and popularity ranking. In fact, a tag is keyword assigned
to a piece of information. It helps describe an item and allows it to be found
again by browsing or searching. New Microsoft SharePoint 2010 is
enhanced with tagging and tag cloud features, but you still miss them in
SharePoint 2007. Using Virto Tag Cloud you can enjoy all the benefits of such
data structuring when working with your SharePoint 2007 sites!
Virto Tag Cloud web part is essentially a combination of two different
but integrated web parts. The first one allows for extending list field sets
with additional “tag” field. The second web part is designed for adding a tag
cloud to a SharePoint site pages. Being combined in a single solution, these two
web-parts provide users with powerful tools for structuring and effective usage
of information based on the tag cloud principles. With Virto Tag Cloud you can
quickly structure your SharePoint data and provide easy navigation according to
any classification you define.

Adding new type of filed (tag field) to SharePoint List
First, you need to enable new new type of filed for SharePoint List - 'tag' filed. The field type will appear automatically after installation of Virto Tagging Feature. Once its' done, you will see one field into your SharePoint List.
Relating SharePoint List to Tag List
While creating new item in the SharePoint list, user enters new tag
or selects the required tag from the list of existing data base.
Tag data base is kept in a special list that can be also modified by
site administrator. Tags are displayed on any site page where the web
part was added.
Virto Tag Cloud Settings
Adding Tag Cloud to the SharePoint site
Administrator adds new web part to the SharePoint site and defines our database as data source. It is necessary to define on which level the tag cloud will be displayed – on the current site or on the site collection, set the data source for tags data base, maximum count of tags (in case it differs from the default one), minimum and maximum for font size, tags’ order – alphabethical or rating one. In the nearest future we plan to add Silverlight interface and the ability to change colors for html-interface.
