I was just curious about this module and weather it was possible to load a list of related news entries in a module when viewing a news item (using the [Newsreader])
Basicly creating related links when reading individual items same could be done when viewing an article/event i guess?
Is this possible in anyway? using this or another method?
Great extension by the way!
Thanks Sam
I guess this wouldn't be possible with the standard features of the module but with some programming work it could be done. From where do you get the information which entries are related? Should the related links be shown as a tag cloud then?

Sorry late reply thought I would be auto subscribed to the thread :)
The related links would be a list of news items using the news titles rather than tags. I have explained in more detail below.
Ok so say I have a list of news items like this with these tags in brackets
E.g.
- My news item 01 - (my_tag, my_other_tag)[/*:2f47et2l]
- My news item 02 - (my_tag, my_other_tag)[/*:2f47et2l]
- My news item 03 - (my_tag)[/*:2f47et2l]
- My news item 04 - (my_other_tag)[/*:2f47et2l]
Select "My news item 03" that has "my_tag" assciated with it.
so now you are viewing the news item and in a module in say the right collum you would then see a list of the two other news items with the same tags associated with it like this
Related News items
- My news item 01[/*:2f47et2l]
- My news item 02[/*:2f47et2l]
I hope that makes sense. The BBC have a related news items that probably works on a similar system. I think a simple module for your extension would be great if typolight allows it. like i said this could work well for articles and events also :)
Let me know what you think.
Thanks
Ok, now I got it.
This sounds quite interesting. I'm very busy with other projects at the moment but I will definitely put this on my to do list for a future version of tags (with future I mean *not during the next two weeks*).
Best,
Helmut
Thanks Helmut
I think allot of people would make use of this
