Joomla! Extensions

For Joomla! CMS version 1.5.x (where x is any number) ONLY!

Update
This is version 1.5.3.2 but downloads as version 1.5.3. Your Joomla Admin Panel will still show this download as version 1.5.3.2.

Script Function:
This extension is a joomla module displaying the words from your Joomla! core articles and displays them in a "cloud" of words displayed in a module. Font-size depends on the frequency of the word throughout your articles.

What makes this word cloud module different is that it takes its words directly from your Joomla! core articles instead of your meta tags which means less work to setup. It has been tested with various languages across the world and 3rd-party templates.

I wanted a module that doesn't need meta tags to be setup for it. I want a module which quickly installs and can work as is. I've even added some CSS styling options because I'm that lazy.

It's free as always, so enjoy!
