Hi All,

I was hoping someone could tell me if there is a plugin of sorts that will automatically generate the article tags based on the content of the article using a Keyword Extraction Api? I could really do with one and haven't really got the time to build one at the minute.

Best Regards
Donna

Hello,

Unfortunately I am not aware of such an extension. Have you looked in the JED or the KED (getk2.org/extend/extensions)?

Hi Donna,

Is there any specific Keyword Extraction API you are using?

In fact it is very useful to have a plugin doing this on the fly, AFAIK there is no plugin does it.

I have had a look an cannot find anything for joomla although there are some for Wordpress.

I was looking at the Alchemy Api at the moment. The link for the existing plugins can be found Here .

I'll maybe look into creating something but at present i just can't fit it in. I use Joocial to import some of my content, so if i could get the content tags to match the keywords it would be extremely helpful and save ALOT of time, I am way behind at the moment.

All as an update to this, i had a bit of an idea yesterday which uses a method incorporated into the Joomsef extension. I currently use the Joomsef k2 plugin, which auto generates the metadata for k2 articles, so in theory this data can also be used to generate Tags for the items using a similar (or the same) method.

I haven't had a chance to have a look at the source code for the plugin it (or whether it is encoded or not), but this is definitely something i will investigate when i have time. I'd appreciate people opinions on this.

Hi Donna,
In order to develop this solution you need for sure a K2 plugin that will be triggered when the item form is submited. Afterwards you need to get the item's text from the submitted data and split it to single words. The PHP explode function php.net/manual/en/function.explode.php is a good way to handle this. After extracting and getting the desired words you must save that data to the #__k2_tags database table and also create a tag(s)-item relation to the #__k2_tags_xref database table. Have in mind also that you must create a condition to check if the tag you are trying to save already exists or you will end up with duplicates.

I have a plugin (AutoMeta for K2) that automatically generate meta description and keywords from categroy, item title and extra fields www.joomreem.com/extensions-store/item/48-autometa-for-k2.html

I think this can be developed more to implement these features.
