related categories based on tags/keywords
Just wondering is it possible to show in a article the related categories based on tag(s) or keyword(s)?
My client is a graphic designer and works for different companies and branches. Sometimes my client creates/designs websites but also do e.g. print media for the same company.
So i want to create a page (section) where each category is displayed (print media, webdesign, branding, etc.) and in each category a list of projects and when you click on a project name you get a detailed view (article) when client has done.
In the detail view also show related categories for the particular project.
I have tried this with rss_unlimited_categories and tru_tags, but somehow I can’t get it to work.
Anybody got an idea how to do this? Is this even possible with TXP?
Also looking for a way to create URLs in form of /portfolio/<category>/<project>

It’s one of the easier things to whip up that doesn’t appear to be obvious out of the box.
You could create a parent category to lord over a group of ‘sub-categories’ you choose so you’d have this:
- Print Design (Parent)
- Nice (Child)
- Great (Child)
- Happy (etc…)
You’d display your Parent categories as a type of top level navigation and when an article from there is shown the article form for that article would list Child categories as known from a reference to the Parent.
I think you can get what you want with either of the plugins you mention but I would recommend using only one plugin for this just to make it simple and choosing one that is capable obviously. Look at the parent/child capabilities if present in those or other plugins.
There is smd_tags. I would use that personally.
txtstrap (Textpattern + Twitter Bootstrap + etc…)

I’ve done a version of this with rss_unlimited_categories and adi_cat_menu in combination.
