How to create new keywords

NGO-bg Team

Keywords are special items created by the website administrators, that can be attached to articles, sections and/or website references.

Because keywords are not created automatically by NGO-bg when a site is initialised, you must create them yourself via the private area of your website.

Overview:

  1. Create a keyword group, if there is no appropriate group
  2. Create a keyword inside the group
  3. Add the keyword to an article, section or referenced website

1- Creating a keyword group

1- From the private area of the site, click on the "site edit" icon ( in the upper-left corner of the screen), then click on "keywords" ( fourth icon of the second line, at the top of the screen).

If there is not a "keywords" icon, make sure that keywords are activated in "Site administration" -> "Site Configuration", then scroll down until you see "Keywords". You should select "Use keywords" then click on "Submit".

2- Click on "Create a new keywords group". If there are already keywords listed, the icon will be at the right-end of the page.

Keyword groups help you to logically seperate the meaning of keywords. This also allows you to specify on what items can keywords be applied to (articles, sections and/or referenced websites), and whether they can be added by administrators or editors.

3- Give a significative name to your keyword group. For keywords related to the configuration of NGO-bg’s template, the name of the keyword group is usually mentioned. For example, for the layout of sections, we will use "Special Sections".

4- Choose to what items can the keyword group be applied to. In this case ("Special Sections"), it applies only to sections.

5- Choose whom can apply the keyword. In our example, only administrators can create new sections anyway, so we will only allow administrators to add/change keywords related to "Special Sections".

6- Click on "Submit"

You should get the following result:

You should now create the keyword itself, inside the keyword group, by clicking on "Create a new keyword":

2- Creating a keyword inside a keyword group

1- Name or keyword title: This is very important for NGO-bg keywords. In this example, we will create "SpecialSectionShowLatest". The keyword group is only informational, but this keyword name is refered to in the HTML code of the templates. If it does not have the right name, it will not work.

2- You can enter a brief description or explanatory text, as it will probably be very helpful to your editors, but it will not be shown from the website.

3- Click on "Submit".

You should now have the following result:

3- Adding the keyword to an article, section or referenced site

1- Go the to section, article or referenced site on which you wish to add a keyword.

2- Click on the small black arrow which points to "keywords".

3- Select "SpecialSectionShowLatest" from the menu and click on "select".
