A couple of years ago, i created the plugin ‘Checkbox Assign Keywords’ that enables users to add/remove RedDot CMS keywords that are assigned to a page or link from the same window – simply by clicking on the corresponding checkboxes.
At the time, the plugin was developed to work in v7.5 – v9.
Unfortunately, changes to the SmartEdit environment in v10+ meant that the plugin was not able to reload the current page being edited once the ‘OK’ button was pressed.
If you are still using v7.5 – 9 of RedDot CMS, please use the previous version.

We love this plugin, but had to tweak it a bit. We were having problems because our site had too many keywords to fit in the popup window. The window that opens for this plugin doesn’t allow scrolling by default, so we couldn’t see all the items. We added this line Javascript line right before the document ready function to permit scrolling:
document.body.scroll = “yes”;
We also wanted the categories to start closed instead of open, so we added:
style=”"display: none;”"
to the category-content div on line 264
Hope these tweaks help anyone who encountered these issues. In a future release, we’d like to see a “clear all checkboxes” button, if you’re interested in adding it.

Thanks for the feedback Cory!! I encourage everyone to go to town on the plugin and tweek it to fit the needs of the project. Always interested to hear back from other developers/users on how things could be improved.

I’m not able to get this to work. I get a
Server Error
404 – File or directory not found.
The resource you are looking for might have been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.
When I click on the plug-in in either SmartTree or SmartEdit.
I’m using Management Server 10 – 10.0.1.64.
We have the program installed on a drive other than the C: drive; not sure if that would make any difference.

Hi Carole
Just make sure that the plugin (folder is installed within the RedDot ‘Plugin’ folder – ( if your using v10 it will be Program Files\Open Text\WS\MS\ASP\PlugIns ) Shouldnt make a difference which drive the CMS application is installed on..
Get in contact with me via email if you still run into issues..

ref the scrollbar issue – just edit the PlugIn configuration for window and add the key scrollbars=1 to the existing set.
