I have just tried to install the AJAX related posts
the AJAX search works (but only in english words)
I type in the Id's of the related posts and it does
save them and all, but it doesn't show anything in
the templates, the {related:template} thing doesn't
work at all, it doesn't even replace it with anything

Has anyone encountered anything like that or knows
how to make it work?

And the 2nd question if anyone knows how can I make
the AJAX search, look for non-english words, whenever
I try looking for one it shows a weird error for half a sec
and then nothing happens :/

Thanks

there must be an easy way to do this - this is also good for seo !!!

Is it possible to show the related posts in the short story as well?

I can't see why not.

Say, why don't you try it out and tell us how it worked out

You might want to change

Code: Select all

add_filter('template-variables-active', 'template_related_posts');
add_filter('template-variables-full', 'template_related_posts');

to

Code: Select all

add_filter('template-variables-active', 'template_related_posts');
add_filter('template-variables-short', 'template_related_posts');
add_filter('template-variables-full', 'template_related_posts');


For easier template editing though (to show the tooltip in both short and full news)

Thanks for the fast reply.

However, I worded my post wrong. =/ I would like it so that the related articles could appear on the story it belongs to with the 'Active News' template. The tags appear in the tags available and with the tags there, my template works fine, just the related articles don't display. Yet they do display in the main news story. It'd be great it this could be done!

But, what you posted could also be very helpful for me, so thank you.

I noticed that in IE when you hover the AJAX link, it displays the status bar at the bottom left corner of IE browser, but, FF (this is my first time), it does not pop up to ask me why .. just find it interesting.
