For the record I’m a certified ignorant with sql but nonetheless, with a little effort, I’ve managed to elaborate some simple query. So I think everybody can.
Anyway you’re right, I didn’t think about that and didn’t want to sound like a bragger ;)

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] chh_related_articles

I’ve found this plugin quite handy on a number of sites. It’s easy to use to relate articles via something other than categories. I’d second adding its functionality to txp’s core. You’ve already got the <txp:related_articles /> tag, its functionality just needs to be expanded (easier said than done, I know!).

Thank you for posting this fix, by the way.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] chh_related_articles

hello

i need a wrapper for the related posts like <p> or <div>. my actualy code:

<p><txp:chh_related_articles relation="keywords" label="Verwandte Artikel: " labeltag="strong" limit="5" break=", " /></p>

the problem: if no related post exist, the wrapper is empty and invalid. what i need is someting like <txp:chh_if_related_articles />.
has everyone a solution for my problem?

greets

andi

Sorry, I obviously still don’t understand.

Do you mean labeltag="p"? If this is not helpful, there’s chh_if_data in order to remove empty <p>s from your code example …

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] chh_related_articles

Or variable and if_variable :)

<txp:variable name="hasarticles" value='<txp:chh_related_articles relation="keywords" limit="1" />' />

<txp:if_variable name="hasarticles" value="">
<txp:else />
	<p><txp:chh_related_articles relation="keywords" label="Verwandte Artikel: " labeltag="strong" limit="5" break=", " /></p>
</txp:if_variable>

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] chh_related_articles

This is a really handy plugin for outputting a list of articles related to the current article by Keyword. Can anyone think why it might not be working in TXP 4.3.0? I think it was working fine for me, and I upgraded a bit ago, and just noticed it now seems to be outputting just the 3 most recent articles, for every article. Mysterious.

Re: [plugin] [ORPHAN] chh_related_articles

Aha. I realized that this plugin is doing a simple match, and sorting the results by date or whatever you specify. What I really want is to sort by some kind of relevance. Like an article that shares 3 Keywords with the current article is more relevant than one that shares only 2 Keywords.

I got as far as checking out the MySQL functions MATCHAGAINST…but I’m stumped. Would anyone know how to modify this plugin to achieve sorting by relevance? Or more simply, how to just write the correct MySQL query?
