Update to Label Sphere

I've finally had some free time to work on the Label Sphere. The new version should correctly color the labels according to your blog's color scheme on Chrome, Firefox, and IE 8. The new version has not been added to the Blogger gallery yet, but when it does get added I will post an update. To use the new version, add a new gadget to your blog, select "Add your own" and use the following URL

http://alexdioso.github.com/LabelSphere/LabelSphere.xml

I've also released the gadget under the GPL here

Alex,
Coloquei sua Nuvem de Tags no meu blog inserindo gadget Label Sphere.
Gostaria de fazer algumas alterações e não sei como, você poderia me ajudar?
1 - Retirar o sublinhado;
2 - Mudar a cor ( o azul não fica legível no meu blog;
3 - Mudar o tipo de letra.
Se puder me ajudar, eu agradeço.

Alex,
Em primeiro lugar obrigada por me responder.

Não consegui alterar a nuvem de tags.

Os endereços que você enviou dão como resultado:

- o URL termina com um nome de domínio de nível superior inválido.

Meu blog é :
http://conversandocomvoces.blogspot.com

Me faça uma visita e se puder me dê nova orientação.

Obrigada e um grande abraço.

Hi, just added the new version of the sphere and there appears to be some problem with the latest version of Firefox, the title is visible, but not the sphere itself. Works fine in safari.

Thanks

Hi ink, which version of Firefox are you using? I tried it out with Firefox 7.0.1 and it seems to be fine.

Why my (AC/DC) label doewsn't work, only my (Led Zeppelin) one? Sorry, I'm new here.

@Rocha, the labels don't show up immediately in the feed that the label sphere uses. I checked your blog and it looks like the AC/DC label is there now.

@Brenda Lima, currently the font is set to whatever your blog's font is. The underline is not showing up for me in Firefox or Chrome, what browser are you using?

I will add the ability to change the font in a future version, you can track this feature here: https://github.com/alexdioso/LabelSphere/issues/1

Hi Alex,

Came across the label sphere by accident and love it. Brilliant idea and work. Only issue is I cannot get it to work at all. I can add it either from the widgets menu (not sure if latest version) or via add your own using the latest url, either way nothing is displayed except for the title. In the set up, the preview works fine but I get nothing on my blogger site at all apart from the title? I use Chrome and Firefox (latest versions) and same thing with both. Any suggestions?

Alexander Dioso said…
@Enrico Thanks!

@mensnet founder I didn't see it on your site so I couldn't check for error messages. Next time you add the label sphere could you see if there are any javascript error messages in your browser's console?

I loved the Label SPhere and I tried to add it at my blog.

I have no idea what do I have to copy from this long script.

Sorry, I'm that stupid...

I tried copying it all, some parts... you know that nothing worked and all I got was a line with the characters ]]>

Could you explain, as it was for a 5 years old child, how do we do it?

Thank you very much and congratulations.

I need to enlarge the area (increase height) in which the label tags float. The Blogger Gadget control allows changing [height], but this does not work correctly - the overall gadget box increases, yet the labels never float more than within a 200 PX area. Is there anyway to change this simply in the code but adjusting a constant or scaler? Thanks!

Run-time and design-time selection of a ViewModel using XAML

I've been working on a WPF project in Visual Studio 2010 and I came across a problem where Visual Studio would crash when I used the Document Outline while editing an XAML in the Design view. There seems to be several ways of solving this but all the methods seem to involve code either as a separate class such as a ViewModelLocator or in a code-behind using GetIsInDesignMode.
Here is a solution that uses (mostly) XAML. First, create a new ViewModel class that is a stub or mock. This class will also allow you to have some design-time data that won't crash Visual Studio. Then implement the following XAML to select between your main ViewModel and your mock ViewModel. The Blend XML Namespace ("d") is marked as Ignorable (only available during design-time) then AlternateContent is used to select the MockViewModel if the "d" namespace is available (design-time) and fallback to the MainViewModel (run-time).

Label Sphere v2

A reader pointed out that my Label Sphere wasn't working as advertised. I took a look at both our blogs and they both looked fine, then I realized it must be a browser issue. I looked again with Firefox and sure enough the labels were all stacked on each other at the bottom of the gadget. I made the mistake of only testing in one browser (Google Chrome).
The issue with Firefox was that the label container was collapsing, then JavaScript got a very small height for the container which resulted in a very small sphere. To keep the container from collapsing I added the following to the style of the container (as stated in the link):
overflow: hidden;
width: 100%;

For the sake of completeness I checked the Label Sphere using IE8 on my gf's computer (the only IE I can get on Arch Linux is IE6 and I've decided I don't want to support IE6) and sure enough IE8 had a JavaScript error about "Object doesn't support this property or method". This error occurred while…
