Keywords Field Type

The keywords field type allows you to enter keywords or tags for your entries.

Parameters↑

Parameter	Default	Description
return_type	string	Allows you to return the keywords as a string or array. See formats below.

Output↑

Depending on your Return Type, you will have different outputs. Your two possible outputs are a string or an array.

A string output will comma separate each keyword. You will only need to call your keywords with a single var tag like normal. Here is the example format for a string:

# Keywords: keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3

// template

	
{{ keywords }}


// output

	
keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3

Returning your keywords as an array allows for more flexibility to customize the output. Arrays will be printed out with open and closing tags like so:

# Keywords: keyword_1, keyword_2, keyword_3

// template

	

		{{ keywords }}
		{{ keyword }}{{ if !is_last }}, {{ endif }}
		{{ /keywords }}
	


// output

	

		keyword_1, 
		keyword_2, 
		keyword_3
	

You can see how much more customized this output is. This allows you do almost what ever you please. In addition to the keyword and is_last vars you have in the example above, you also have a few others. This is what gets returned with each keyword:

keyword, count, total, is_first, is_last

Here is one more quick example of how to create a keyword list with total keywords:

# Keywords: Shopping, Electronics, Technology

// template
{{ keywords }}
	{{ if is_first }}
	
{{ total }} Keywords
	

	{{ endif }}
		
{{ keyword }}
	{{ if is_last }}
	
	{{ endif }}
{{ /keywords }}

// output
3 Keywords

	
Shopping
	
Electronics
	
Technology
