Link to Keywords, sort articles by keyword

I’m trying to set up my portfolio by tagging each project with the service I provided.

I have all my portfolio pieces as articles and I’m using the keywords field to insert keyword such as “Website Design” “Print Design” and what not.

The problem is, I don’t see a way to link to a keyword and then it pull all articles by that keyword.

Another option was using categories but that won’t work since TXP only allows 2 categories per article. So unless there’s a workaround for that I’m trying to do this with keywords.

Thanks in advance.

Re: Link to Keywords, sort articles by keyword

Re: Link to Keywords, sort articles by keyword

I don’t even need that, I think I can use the article_custom tag to display using keywords.

The problem is I can’t find a way to link to it from say the homepage or my portfolio page.

For example:

If you are on the homepage and you want to see all the work that involved CSS

I would use the keyword CSS in the article

I want there to be a link on the homepage called CSS and it goes to everything that I tagged CSS.

Re: Link to Keywords, sort articles by keyword

By the way, here’s a link to my website: http://www.griffinwebworks.com

Furthermore,

I’m not really sure how the URL structure will look. I wanted it to look something like http://www.griffinwebworks.com/portfolio/css/ <— the last subdirectoy being the keyword, but it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way.

I suppose another way would be to create a section for each keyword and then use the article tag. But I didn’t really want to do it that way as the hiearchy would be messed up.

Re: Link to Keywords, sort articles by keyword

I don’t think Textpattern has any neat way of doing this sort of thing…

If any one else know a way, I’d be interested to hear it.
