name/value pairs in keywords
|
|
I've been using keywords associated with categories in order to store
additional data about the categories that the native Bric interface does
not allow me to do. For example, for the events on our site, I name the
categories with the singular version of the type of event they
represent, e.g. "Film" for the /programs/film category.
However, I've recently had a need to create some internal reports and
found that I had a need to use the plural "Films and Film Series" in
this report, but I didn't want to make a hard association between the
category element and this label in my template.
So, I created a keyword scheme that lumps together name/value pairs into
the keyword:
For example:
_plural_name:Film Programs and Events
is the keyword name. Then, in my template, I iterate over the keywords
for each category, looking to see if I find a match on "_plural_name:"
and if I do, I grab the text after the ":".
Has anyone run into a similar need and taken a better approach?
Thanks,
- Dave

Subject: Lists of keywords
Hello all,
We use keywords as "tags" on one of our sites
(http://www.quepasacontent.co.uk/tags/) and now we're creating a second,
similar, site within the same Bricolage instance.
We've found that there's no way to get all the keywords for a given
site, it always searches all keywords.
This is a bit sub-optimal and we'll try to fix it next week when Paul's
back in the office but in the meantime would it be faster/more efficient
to pull all the keywords and search for any stories in the current site
that use that keyword or to pull all the active stories and read the
keywords from each one to create our own list ?
Actually, reading the above it seems that the latter would be more
efficient but if someone could confirm that and also that we're not
being particularly dense with respect to the searching by site problem
I'd be most grateful.
Simon.
