#38 Keywords field + search options
Hello!
It'd be lovely to be able to provide for each item
keywords suitable for a search engine (e.g. +ratchet
+"box-end" +"wrench set" +craftsman) which then are
used to provide search links for Froogle, Google,
Yahoo, or whatever else might be handy.
Cheers!

Adding the db field and putting it into the item.php UI was
straightforward; you can source the attached
add_item_keywords.sql file, then apply the attached
add_keywords_to_item_ui.patch.
Next, I'll have to figure out how best to mutate these
keywords into search URLs and how to show those search
options in the item list.
Cheers!

Patchfile for item.php:

Okay, the attached files will:
* Add a keywords field to your items table
* Expose that field in the item editing UI (item.php)
* Add a couple of search engine URIs to your config.php
* Display one link per engine when you're choosing items
from someone's list (shop.php)
Still to do:
* Search URIs should include %s for replacement by keywords
* index.php needs the same treatment *or* shop.php and
index.php should be refactored to call some common code
which displays item lists (and shoplist.php?)
* Add more search engines!
Cheers!

Hello!
I've added a patch to show the links in the index.php item
list. I'll tackle the refactor separately if it seems
interesting enough to others (e.g. generalpf =)
Still to do:
* Enable "%s" replacement in config-listed search URIs
* More elegant UI with visually distinct link icons
(favicon.ico?)
* Add more search engines!
Maybe someday:
* Add per-item search base URI enable toggle and storage.
This would allow the user to turn off searches that don't
work; storing the URIs local to the item would keep them
from changing later (e.g. I had them as Froogle and
PriceGrabber; you disabled search URI 2; I rearranged things
and now PriceGrabber is enabled and Froogle is disabled).
Cheers!
