"Find More Stories Like This" /Hack

[chuckroast]

Here is a simple hack to add a "find more like this"
to your stories..

1 open yourtemplate/link_summary.tpl

2 directly after

admin links</a>
        </span>

3 enter the following code

| <a href="{$my_base_url}{$my_pligg_base}/search.php?search={$tags}">find more like 

this</a>

It should look something like this..


Enjoy!

Does this search for all the tags?

[kbeeveer46]

It only searches for stories that have the EXACT same tags as the story in question.

Okay... looks like i am still missing something...

Consider this example...

Story 1 has following tags - tag1, tag2, tag3
Story 2 has following tags - tag2, tag4, tag5
Story 3 has following tags - tag6, tag4, tag1

Now lets say, i clicked on the link 'find more like this' for story 1... does it show the results like;

1. All 3 stories because tag 2 is used for 2 stories stories along with other different tags and tag1 is common for story 3 and story 1?
Thanks and sorry to bother u.

Cheers

No, it will not find any stories. The mod only finds stories that have the exact same three tags as story one.

Perhaps there is a way to make this work better...

1. if the search function were smart enough to use the OR operator, you could create a string that would look for any of the tags.
