How do you create a custom tag cloud block in Concrete?

Answer: To create a custom tag cloud block in Concrete CMS, follow these steps:

1. Create a Package: Set up a new package by creating a directory in the `/packages` folder and add a `controller.php` file.

2. Create Block Folder: Inside your package, create a folder for your custom block in `/blocks`.

3. Block File Structure: Create necessary files in your block folder:
– `controller.php`: Defines the block’s functionality.
– `view.php`: Defines how the block will be displayed.
– `edit.php`: Provides a user interface in the edit mode.

4. Define Block in Controller: In `controller.php`, define the block’s properties, such as how to retrieve tags and their display configuration.

5. Display Logic: In `view.php`, implement the HTML/CSS for displaying the tag cloud, using PHP to iterate over the tags.

6. Install Package: Use the Concrete CMS dashboard to install your package.

7. Add Block to Page: Go to a page in edit mode, add your custom tag cloud block, and configure it as needed.

This will create a functional custom tag cloud block.
