More relevancy/options for Related Entries/Links

Post by Elhcay »

Because of multiple tags occuring within the entries for my site, Related Entries/Links are not as relevant as they would have been. May I suggest that the user be able to choose whether they want only related entries by tags that occur within the titles only, the entry body, or both, or having an additionl field in entry page where you can specify what tags will be used for fetching related entries - which you can define what default option to use when not selected in the Related Entries/Links plugin configuration page.

BTW, thanks for this wonderful software.

Hi!

Tags occur related to the complete entry! They are not related to the title, body or extended body - thus, your wish cannot technically be achived.

Defining which tags to use for related entries would be the only way out, but I think that defeats the purpose of automatted related entries?

Adding those tags would mean the need to store them in the entryprpoerties DB table, that would add a requirement to the entryproperties event plugin and make things a bit overheady. Hm.
