Well I did but it only works when you have the smart search mod from alteredcart installed ... if you do I can quote the code needed.

p.s. the mod isn't needed to get this working but I haven't got the old code (anymore) ...

Got this working on 4.3.1. I'm using my Search Keywords as "Tags" to encourage customers to browse more.

After searching for clickable search keywords, I got a lot of help from this thread by wjbrewer.

Please read that over first.

Firstly, I didn't need to mod my search so you can ignore the part about that.

In product.php, where wjbrewer indicated, I pasted in:

$keywords = split(",", $product_info['keywords']);
$smarty->assign('keywords', $keywords); 

The above is different from what wjbrewer originally posted in that it recognizes that my keywords are comma-separated and will break them up as such, including keyword phrases that consist of more than one word with spaces in between.

Then in my template where I want the keywords to show up (/customer/main/products_details.tpl in my case), I put in the following which will return my keywords on one line, followed by a pipe symbol (except for the last value) and each will be turned into a link:

{if $product.keywords ne ""}
Tags: {foreach from=$keywords item=keyword name=kw}
<a href="../search.php?mode=search&by_title=Y&by_descr=Y&by_sku=Y&search_in_subcategories=Y&including=all&substring={$keyword}">{$keyword}</a> {if !$smarty.foreach.kw.last}| {/if} {/foreach}{/if}

The end result looks like this:

Tags: Feminine | Floral | Sweet and Sassy

Hope this helps someone!

Hello,

I am looking to do something similar, but instead of the keywords appearing on the product pages themselves, I am wanting to create a page with all of the keywords entered across the site. Other than that, the same fuctionality (clickable tags that take you to a results page with the products associated with that tag).

Any ideas on how to implement this on it's own page? Let me know, thanks!
