DRUPAL: replace tags with icons

3
votes

is there any plugin for Drupal, replacing tags with small icons (see the picture below, the icons are actually small circles, and the different colors are automatically generated.

I need to replace the tags with the circles, for each node, and the starting view.

Furthermore, when the mouse move over the tags, the tag title should appear as pop-up

thanks

Is it just me or is the image really missing? - Paul
I wanted that too and failed to find an easy solution. I ended up defining a custom field in Views and defining a fancy CSS style to it :). - mingos
Paul's right, we need the image you're referring to. - Mike Crittenden
@mingos: I'm more of a web developer/programmer than designer so my approach would go for some additional code lines somewhere. Since there's no image yet and not knowing how many different terms are involved I can't really provide a simple solution but have a nice example I just finished last month: clearingstelle-eeg.de is a German Clearing House website which features six main topics (aka terms) shown as round images in the header. On front page there're several nodes some of which are tagged by these terms and as you can see, the corresponding image is always shown below the teaser. - Paul
@Patrick: very nice, I'd love to achieve something similar on my sites :). Alas, I know little about PHP or jScript and I mostly do design :). I'll be watching this thread in case someone can provide an answer. - mingos

If I understand you correctly, what you are looking for is the taxonomy_image module. I use it and it works very nicely. I had to enhance it a little to do what I want inside a View, but other than that it answered my requirements.
