Using 9.5, yget.

No matter what story I click on, there are no related stories in the related stories tab.

How does it determine what stories are related?

Here are some of the comments from the related stories code...

PHP Code:

// this returns similar stories based on tags in common and in the same category    
// Select 10 stories that share tags with the current story and order them by number of tags they share

I think I changed it to work between categories so it finds stories with similar tags no matter what category they're in.

I have quite a few stories in my "General" category, none of which have tags, but yet if I click on one of those stories then click "Related", nothing shows up.

Should it not show stories in the category "General" in this case?

it searches for tags. A story has to have the same tags as another story to be listed in "Related Stories."

[Geoserv]

Ok, so without tags stories won't show up. Ok, now I understand.

Thanks for the clarification.

It doesnt' show up related links even with common tags, except when you make a search query, but afterwards, with the same article, related links are not shown anymore.

I couldn´t follow the discussion. Under which circumstances will the related links/stories be shown at the story page tabs?

I´ve tried it with my own pligg as well as with the demo (http://demo.pligg.com/story.php?titl...ed_links_works) without any success.

I dont think its working myself. It shows stories with the same tags, but I have yet to see it happen on my site.

Kbeeveer - I have some doubts on this - I have two stories with tags "tag1, tag2, tag3" and "tag1, tag4, tag5" - is there a way we can get the stories with atleast 1 tag matching?

Current implementation seems like it requires all tags to match - am not sure? many time it remains empty for me.
