Early morning wordpress question. - GoFuckYourself.com

i am calling up a tag cloud on one of my sites like so.

Quote:

wp_tag_cloud('format=array' );

I need to call the tag list as an array to display it properly within my theme, however I would like to do a similar display of the categories. Calling categories into a cloud can be done like so...

Quote:

wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy' => 'category' ) );

So anyways, I need to mash these two together somehow, and everything I've been trying this morning has been pure failure.

Any suggestions?

When in doubt, grab a plugin. If you cant use the widget, I'm sure the pieces you're missing are right in there.

if i use a plugin i'll still wind up having to chop something together. i have some php sorting the array of tags out into different columns for display in my theme.

so long as i can somehow call the categories into an array i should be fine to keep using it as is. but i'm just failing miserably at figuring out what variable, if any, i can add to do that. i keep fucking the page up.

you want to mix category and tag into 1 cloud?

you probably want this

Code:

wp_tag_cloud( array( 'taxonomy' => 'category', 'format' => 'array' ) );
