auto generate keywords in DCT

Hi All,

Have anyone try this before?

I got a requirement is to create a button in the DCT, when the author click on it, and it will call meta-tagger to generate keywords and populate into the keywords field.

Do you mean even without saving the DCR, you wanted to populate the keywords metadata?.

either way, what I mean is I can use the formAPI to save the DCR automatically (if required).

OR

I can prompt the author to save the DCR if the DCR is not saved yet. (by detecting the DCR-name).

but ultimately, what I want is a "auto generate keywords into keywords field" do you guys have any idea?

thanks

edit: keywords field is a textbox in the DCT, where I will populate the data within the keywords field into the meta-tag in the HTML file, so the search engine can crawl it.

Update:

Ideally what I need to achieve is, to code a callout button in the DCT, and when user click on that button, it should generate the keywords based on the overview field. (as the illustration)

the process flow should be something similar to these:
1.) User click on the button, check if the DCR is saved, if not prompt the user to save.
2.) if DCR is saved, call meta-tagger to generate keywords for the DCR. (either formAPI or CGI callout, depends which one can be done).
3.) populate the keywords into the keywords item's text field.

is that possible?

Hi there:

Might you be able to share with me how you achieved this integration? I have done this previously with the Perl Module (MetaTagger.PM). Is this how you did it?

Thanks!

Here are some ideas:

- MT 4.1.2 includes an example servlet that takes HTML-form posts and returns MT results in XML (with optional XSLT transformation)
- You could use AJAX or callServer to hit the sample servlet from FormAPI on the page - it could actually populate the values without even saving to disk :}.

Cheers,

This has been done at customer sites by the CSO team. In all cases we used a temp save of the file to generate the text to send to MT, then parsed it on the return into the field on the DCT as part of the DCR to be stored.

I have not tried Clark's suggestion, but it should work as well.
