Description

This datatype allows the storage of keywords for an object. The keywords must be specified as a comma separated list of words and/or phrases. This datatype can be used to connect objects of the same type based on their keywords. It is typically useful when it comes to creating interfaces that allow the user to quickly browse other pages with related content (for example "see also" or "related pages" list of hyperlinks). If two objects share at least one common keyword, the objects will be connected behind the scenes. The system will create the necessary entries in the "ezkeyword" and the "ezkeyword_attribute_link" database tables. Please note that this datatype does not generate object relations, it simply uses its own tables in the database to connect the objects. The following screenshot shows the class attribute edit interface for this datatype.
