Add Keywords (Related Items Helper) Plugin

Whenever you create or save an article, this plugin automatically fills in the keywords for you. It does this by: 1. Parsing all the words in the article and ordering them by number of times used 2. Removes the most common words in the English language from the list by comparing it against a blacklist. Adds the top twenty words into the keywords section With this enabled, your articles will easily show up as related items using the default mod_relateditems that comes with Joomla!

New Features in v.3:
1. Option to automatically generate tags for all articles in the database.

New Features in v.2:
1. The ability to add the author alias or name as a keyword.
2. The ability to exclude specific sections or categories.
3. The ability to choose the number and length of keywords.
4. The ability to specify your own blacklist. This now makes the plugin useable for any language.

Simple and does the job in an instant. More feature suggestions:

APPEND MODE - if some keywords already exist, keep them and append additional keywords up to the maximum. Preserve sequence so writers can identify the ones they entered vs those automatically added.

NO CHANGE MODE - only process if metadata field is empty.

Give stronger weighting to keywords in the title, H1 tags, etc.

Hey I like the idea of this plugin, also I would like to give feedback: if you have defined keywords tag, this plugin will replace them after editing an article, so your construct must include an additional if !empty condition do not modify and save.

Other ideas
1. As a special feature, the most popular keywords in article should be placed first.

2. How much black list items support so far? Could it not generate tags because of too much or many?

3. When edit article in fontend, and plugin is enabled, save and cancel buttons error.

Works exactly as it has to be. It's a little bit of work to compile the " excluded keywords" box when using a non-Enlgish website but after that it's a very nice plugin which fills in the keywords from the most used keywords of the content item. Great work and thanks.

It's smart simple and it's work!
Unfortunately each time an article saved the plugin rewrite changes that where entered to "Keywords field" manually
