Description

The chh_keywords plugin provides Txp tags for managing articles based on multiple lists of keywords, categories, or “tags.”

You can see a live example of the plugin on this site. Try this page, for instance. Studio and Genre lists are produced by from the Studio and Genre custom fields using chh_keywords_list. Clicking a Genre link will produce a list generated by chh_keywords_articles.

chh_keywords now has experimental support for clean URLs. Aside from looking much nicer and being search-engine friendly, this also means that your Txp site can now have internal tag links that are compliant with the rel-tag microformat specification used by Technorati and other tag aggregator sites.

• Attribute reference
• Example usage
• Enabling clean URL mode

Download

This plugin requires the chh_article_lib library plugin, version 1.04 or greater, to be installed and enabled.

• chh_keywords_0.21.txt
• chh_article_lib current version

Important: Keywords field handling was broken. Please use field="keywords" (all lowercase, instead of the previously documented mixed-case) if you need to manually specify the keywords field.

Similar plugins

If chh_keywords doesn’t meet your needs, you might find one of these plugins useful:

• Ran Aroussi was first one the scene with ran_txp_tags.
• Rob Sable’s shiny new rss_unlimited_categories is a neat one.

Both plugins use a single field to categorize articles. Rob’s is exceptionally user-friendly and offers some bells and whistles made possible by using a separate database table for categories, which is what Txp should’ve been doing in the first place.

chh_keywords is a more generalized implementation that can be used for this sort of article tagging but endeavors to be more flexible for non-blog applications.
