Linked Keywords

[Senkusha]

Hi, I have a request (which I hope to have working code for soon  I now have working code.  You can see it in action at my site -- link is in my signature.).

What I would like is to have a Keywords field added.  Personally for my use, having it on the Category level would work great, but I guess for Products if others needed that support.

What the keywords would do, is parse the description, anywhere it finds a matching keyword, it would translate it into a hyperlink.  By clicking on that hyperlink, you'd be given a listing of all other products (categories) that have those keywords defined.

For example, I run an anime store, and I've got all my products categorized by anime title.  If I type in the keywords (in the category of say "Ranma 1/2") of "Romantic Comedy, Martial Arts, 13+", if I click on "Romantic Comedy", I'll be redirected to a new index page with a listing of other categories that have the keyword "Romantic Comedy" defined.

By adding a feature like this, you could essentially automatically create "Related Products".

What do you think?

Could be done. So it pareses the description of the category and the product and checks if links need to be created to keywords?
And you need a keywords field added to the category.

I also like the display on your site where you have a category image and description near the top of each of your categories.

Yes.  Here is the example in action.  I'm also going to add a keywords to the products entry, and add another database table to act as an explanitory page...much like a Wiki.  Also, I'm probably going to replace the Related items once I do that, so it will automatically generate the related items (based on an exact or near exact match of *all* the keywords defined.)

(Thanks, I'm glad you like my little modifications.  I can give you the code if you'd like)

Update: My coding is now finished!  I now have keywords for the categories, and products, and I've also added a wiki page for each keyword, and finally, I added a link to an existing media gallery, downloads, and message board discussions.
