A Term Cloud module displays taxonomy terms in alphabetical order in varying size based on the number of instances a term has been assigned to content on the site. These terms are then linked to views displaying all content associated with that term.
To add a Term Cloud module:
- Go to Extensions > Module Manager
- Click New in the upper right
- Click Taxonomy Term Cloud
- For Title in the Module [Edit] view, enter a title for the module
- For Show Title, select No or Yes to hide or show the title to the end user

- Under Menu Assignment, select which menu items on which you wish the module to appear. To display the module on all pages, leave this as All. If you wish to choose to display it on specific pages only, choose Select Menu Item(s) from the List and select the appropriate menu items. For further instructions on this process, read Module Manager: Publish a module to a given page.
