This plugin shows links to related posts in your full story.



In the basic version of the plugin you can manually add the ID of the related post when adding/editing news. Separate more than one ID by a comma.



Available tags in the template:

[related]...[/related]

{related:template}



Example code for the template:

Code: Select all

[related]

Related posts:<br />

{related:|related_date|: <a target="_blank" href="|related_url|">|related_title|</a><br />}

[/related]

The AJAX version below puts a field above the original text box. Type in a word and the script will search your titles and stories for this word (using AJAX). It will return a list of news titles. By clicking on one of the titles you can insert the article's ID in the ID field.

hi fi-dd just a couple of things regarding this. I'm not sure how to get this working. i activated the plugin and then put the {related:ID} in the full story template.



Now when i add a news article i have 5 input boxes asking for related news articles. i put in the id's but the related titles dont shows up in my fullstory.



I didnt understand what u refeed to as

Code: Select all


Use XFields to save the IDs: {related:[xfvalue_ID]}.

Another thinng --> i have the meta tags plugin also activated. Now the five test boxes for the related articles apear above the meta tags input boxes in the add news pae. Can i have the meta tags boxes displayed above the related id boxes pls??

I reworked the plugin. Please download again and adjust your template.

[related]

Related posts:<br />

{related:<a target="_blank" href="|related_url|">|related_title|</a><br />}

[/related]

I double checked to see if the plugin was activated and yes it is!! What am i doin wrong??

Fantastic!!! Its working great this time



Just one small suggestion tho, is it possible to display the post like -->



Date - Title

Date - Title



U know, in that format??

[FI-DD]

Change this:

Code: Select all

$link .= str_replace(array('|related_url|', '|related_title|'), array(cute_get_link($news), $news['title']), $match[1]);

to this:

Code: Select all

$link .= str_replace(array('|related_url|', '|related_title|', '|related_date|'), array(cute_get_link($news), $news['title'], date("d.m.Y", $news['date'])), $match[1]);

Would it be possible to add an upgrade to the Related Posts plugin to where it'll display posts of a category (or all categories), and you can check each, and it'll add the ID to the related id field. Probably simple displaying of posts from a category, or all categories, and javascript to add the id to a field at the bottom, then to grab the IDs (when editing a post).
