I made a little plugin that shows a list of similar entries in the footer of an entry.

It finds entry titles with decimal numbers:
"Web links 1", "Web links -2-", "Web links - 3"
Titles with roman numbers:
"Terminator I", "Terminator -II-", "Terminator - III"
Titles with Weekdays:
"Meeting Monday", "Meeting -Tuesday-", "Meeting-Wednesday"
Titles with a colon:
"London: Gastronomy", "London: City scape", "London: Hotels"

That's useful if you write series of articles or stories divided in several parts.
The list is styleable via the class serendipity_stories_plugin.

You can download the plugin here.

Hi!

Nice idea! I am wondering if this might be incoroprated into the related_entries event plugin?

Possible. But I like small plugins with less functionality more than clusters of functions in one big plugin. It's easier to sort the display order and the performance is better if you need only a small part of the functionality.

But if somebody has enough time to combine both plugins, why not…?

Hi!

As for putting it into spartacus, I would rather like to have it inside a similar plugin so not to swamp the list of available plugins...so if you'd like to make it available in spartacus, it would need to be integrated. *g*

Best regards,
Garvin
