Related Asset Listings with multiple tags

Squiz Matrix Support

I am trying to make a Related Asset Listing work in a specific way, and I am not sure if it is intended to that this. Here is what I am trying to do:

    - Home
    --- Page 1 (coffee, tea)
    --- Page 2 (coffee)
    --- Page 3 (tea, water)
    --- Page 4 (tea)
    --- Page 5 (coffee, water)


Ok, as shown in the above structure, I have a site that has some pages that are tagged with multiple terms. I would like to be able to list the pages that contain the same term, so it would look like:

    - Related Listing page (showing assets with coffee term)
    --- Page 1
    --- Page 2
    --- Page 5


Is it possible to have a Related Asset Listing list the assets that each have the same tag, even if they have other tags as well? I would like to be using dynamic parameters so that I can change what term is used. The documentation didn't seem clear about this.

Also, is there a way to show the related node in the listing?

Hi Nic,


There's probably a very good reasons why you need to use terms and a related list, but I have a site that I think achieves what you want, but uses metadata and search pages instead.

I have some site-wide metadata for 'highlight categories', with checkboxes for terms like 'environment, volunteering, tourism, biodiversity' etc.

Then I have a search page with stored query searches looking for variables with those names, and each one mapped to that metadata field as a search field.



Then when I want to list all the pages that have 'environment' ticked, I just nest in that search page and pass it the variable 'environment' with a value of Yes.

If I want to list pages with 'environment' and 'biodiversity' ticked, I just pass it two variables.



I'm thinking you've probably considered searches vs related lists already, and have v good reasons for doing it how you are, but just thought I'd mention it!

Sorry Nic, long time ago I tried to get similar functionality, but never worked…


Charlie, does Your users have rights to update metadata fields or the it can be updated just by You?

I stuck some time ago in a problem that I cannot set permissions on metadata fields, but on a whole metadata schema…

Thanks everyone. Sounds like this is sadly not possible. Will have to look for another solution. :slight_smile:

Hi Uam,



Yes, my editors have permission to change those metadata fields, so they can tick a page as 'Environment' when they are in EES. I've not looked too much at permissions on Metadata, but my pages have 2,3 or sometimes 4 schemas applied to them, so I could set one schema to be accessed just by admins, and then another one (like this one) to be accessed by my editors. Can you change the permission on Sections of metadata, that might be another way around it?

I think that for my situation I am just going to link into folders, that way I can just point an asset listing at what ever folder I want and then list its content.
