Using Thesaurus terms for Related Asset Listing

(Ryan Archer) #1

I have setup a Related Asset listing and Thesaurus terms within a website. It all works out after following the steps outlined here http://manuals.matrix.squizsuite.net/thesaurus/examples/configuring-a-related-asset-listing

 

My problem is that I want to get a bit more advanced with the 'tagging'. Right now all I can see is that you can tag pages with multiple tags and when you do a related asset listing - it will just list out all the assets that has the same tags as it has.

 

I am looking for a much more refined 'filtered' tagging where it will just return and list back pages where it has exactly the same tags as the page that I have nested the related asset listing 'thingo'.

 

E.g. I have a tag called 'services' applied to all pages in the services section of the website. I also have a child tag named 'loans'. I want the related asset listing to only return back pages that have both tags applied together - not list out all pages with all the tags

 

So to summarise, i want to return back pages with "services" AND "loans" as opposed to,services OR loans

 

I hope this makes some sense.

Why not use metadata to tag your pages then use a search asset to return pages tagged with services and loans?

Will it work the same way? Funny thing is after going over the manual repeatedly - I never came across this solution. Squiz manual seemingly 'champions' using Related Asset Listing and Thesaurus Terms.

 

Obviosuly using metadata will involve metadata schemas and such. Would the Search asset return the page titles as links?

You could list the items however you want by editing the type format for that asset within the Search asset.
