New Tab in Blog: Keywords

Page Overview

[Hide]

1 Initial Problem

This feature is for both: Blog as an object in courses AND personal blog.

Issues with keywords in ILIAS Blogs:

  • You need to open the overview of all articles, open the action-menu and choose to edit keywords. You cannot edit keywords while editing the article itself. 
  • Furthermore you have no option to edit keywords of more than one article at the same time. That can cause the problem of duplicates: if you use alot of keywords, you will simply lose track of which keywords you've allready used.

2 Conceptual Summary

The solution could be a new tab "Keywords", which would be shown (1) while editing the blog and (2) while editing an article. Only admins, blogauthors and blogeditors are presented with the tab.
It offers an overview (a list) of all articles and the accompanied keywords. The columns would be: publishing date, title, shorten abstract, keywords, authors.

You have the option to edit, erase or add new keywords. You can sort the list by publishing date (standard), title and author (?). And of cause you have save buttons.

9 Discussion

Killing, Alexander [alex]: 18 May 2020: I support the idea.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 08 JUN 2020 : We highly appreciate this suggestion and schedule the feature for ILIAS 7.

Kunkel, Matthias [mkunkel], 13 AUG 2020: I recently made some keyword sanitising in two ILIAS blogs I take care of. I needed to remove. If I had this feature already, the job would be a little bit easier but not really due to a missing filter. I strongly recommend to implement this feature with a filter for the table of keywords. If you only have ten postings in a block, the table is easy to handle. You might not have that much keywords, too. But if you have a blog with a lot of contributors or a blog that runs for a longer time, the number of postings reaches easily 50 or more. And this is when you miss a filter desperately. Therefore, I ask the JourFixe to extend the scope of the feature and add a filter for

  • Keywords – dropdown with multi-select
  • Title ° – text input
  • Author ° – dropdown with multi-select
Filters marked with ° are nice-to-have because you could also sort the table accordingly – which is not possible for keywords.

Killing, Alexander [alex], 17 Aug 2020: New filter on top of old table? There ist no  dropdown with multi-select implementation for the new filters, afaik. So this would need a KS extension.

JourFixe, ILIAS [jourfixe], 17 AUG 2020 : The new DataTableUI does not support this use case yet (tag inputs) and it doesn't make sense to implement new filters with the old table. Therefore, we reject the suggestion and keep the feature as accepted by Jour Fixe in June.
