How do you use Ditto &filter to filter getkeywords?

Can someone tell me how to access a document’s keywords using Ditto’s filter parameter? I’d prefer to use the filter parameter and not a TV, if at all possible. I’m trying to filter for results where the pagetitle of the Ditto call document matches a keyword of the documents within the startID folder. If this is unclear, please let me know and I’ll rephrase. One of a gabillion versions I’ve tried below. Please haaaaaalp if you can! Thanks.



DropMenu had the &keywordRegexp parameter and the ListRelated snippet filters by getkeywords. Is there no way to filter by a documents existing keywords in the powerful Ditto?

You need to use the tag based parameters as the keywords are combined into a delimited list. So you need &tags, &tagData, and &tagMode. Please look at the documentation for information on how to use them.

Yeah, I created a TV that grabbed the keywords and tried using that in Ditto tags but could never get it to work. The keyword TV was working fine and correctly returned the keywords, as I tested the output -- I don’t know what the problem was. I think I was using something like...

[tt]&tagData=`tvKeywordMatch` &tags=`[*pagetitle*]` &tagDelimiter=`,` &tagMode=`onlyTags`[/tt]

Anyway, since the updated ListRelated now supports the startID parameter, I ended up using that for my solution -- although I would have preferred to use Ditto instead.

You would have needed to use keywords as the tag data as that tells Ditto to go get the keywords and parse them in a certain manner.

Maybe I misunderstood your post, but what you suggest sounds like what I said I did in my previous post. Anyway, I think I have a workaround now.

You used tvkeywords. I mean use the word keywords without tv.

Oy! You mean it would have been that simple! Wow. Thanks Mark, I’ll play with that again when time allows. I love Ditto, it seems to be able to do most anything. I had created a TV that sucked in the keywords and the TV worked correctly, so I’m still not sure why that didn’t work -- but just using the word "keywords" is much better
