Capturing ancestors by selecting the child node only

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me with the the following. When I am tagging, only the specific node I select is being captured.

For example, this is a tree I am browsing..

Item1
-- Item2
--Item3
--Item4

If I browse and choose node "Item 4", only Item 4 is captured in the metadata. I want to capture the entire tree i.e. parent and above (that the user browsed in order to arrive at the child node in question), so that my metadata output looks like "Item1, Item2, Item3, Item4". I would like to do so without having to select each node individually.

How would I go about capturing this?

Thank you for taking the time to help me out on this Smiley Happy

Just to rephrase your query:

are you trying to tag a common keyword to a set of entiites( nodes)?

You can try this with MT 4.1.1 & IW 6.7.1

In the MT Admin console
> Choose Final Processor
> Select iwmtresolveuids and click add arguements button
> and suppy these args: -parent child -implicit_add field

Now go back to your TS TAGUI & choose the parent node
Click "Re-tag" and it will fetch all the children recursively

Unfortunately we are running an older version and this code will not work..

Just to reiterate,

If I have a tree

Grandparent
-- parent
-- child

The user browers to and selects the child node only, and therefore only the child node is captured in the Extended Attribute. I would like to capture the grandparent, parent and child nodes, just by the user browsing to and selecting the child.

I found out that within MetaTagger there is the ability to create post scripts and associate it to a particular field. Once the tagging for the field is complete the post script can run and perform whatever it was coded to do. I believe it is possible to go to MT Studio, export the vocabulary as an XML file and use a perl script to perform mapping of the refined value with the xml entries and once a match is made replace this value with the previous. I could possibly utilize the ID assigned to each value to perform the marching.

My question now is, has anyone done this before and if so do you have a sample script?

Thank you very much for your help in my quest thus far!

Sorry, I dont have the answer to this, even the solution that I provided had to go though a lot of reading & finally ended up finding my answer with IW support when I ran into a similar issue.

Maybe its worth opening a case with IW support
