Filter by node type

I like this idea.

Keep in mind that you can get some of this functionality simply by assigning your vocabularies only to certain node types. For instance, if you have a vocabulary called "blog tags" that's only assigned to blog content, then page or story content items won't show up (as they won't have any matching tags in that vocabulary)...

However, I could see a use for this in certain cases. So I'll keep an eye out for your patch.

This is something we need. We have multiple content types all using the same vocabulary but only node types from one content type should be displayed in one of the blocks.
Thanks for the patch, that does one part of the needed changes. I guess, in addition to this I need to change the block configuration so that one can choose the content type to be displayed.

I have added the following code to the form configuration so that I'm able to chose a content type to display in the block.

    $form['type'] = array(
      '#type' => 'radios',
      '#title' => t('Display nodes of this type'),
      '#options' => node_get_types('names'),
      '#default_value' => variable_get('simterms_type_'. $delta, ''),
      '#description' => t('Only nodes of this type will be displayed in this block.'),
    );

The patch at #2 no longer applies and wasn't marked "needs review" (and the code in #4 wasn't in it anyway), and I hate to think this issue is disappearing into a black hole. I think the idea is a good one, though, and hope others will have a chance to see what all the excitement is about.

I like this patch a lot. It works perfectly and doesn't disrupt any existing functionality. I'd like to have the option of selecting more than one content type, though. Currently the selection only allows one content type.

This version of similarterms adds supprot for choosing multiple content types AND the same content type as the currently displayed node is of.

Go into the block settings and select the content types you want the block to display.

Hope you find this useful.

I'll test this soon (it would help if it were a patch, though). Thanks, miimooo!

Here it is as a patch. I'll start testing it tomorrow or the next day.

The patch works great so far. My only concern right now is duplicating the "Similar entries from ANY vocabulary" block so that I can have different blocks for finding related material from different node types. Any ideas?

$form['type'] = array(
'#type' => 'radios',
'#title' => t('Display nodes of this type'),
'#options' => node_get_types('names'),
'#default_value' => variable_get('simterms_type_'. $delta, ''),
'#description' => t('Only nodes of this type will be displayed in this block.'),
);

This is exactly what I need to filter blocks but where did you add it?

Awesomeness. Where is jjeff?

Subscribing, +1 to get this in! greetings, Martijn

This sounds like a neat Idea.

I'd love to see this in the 6.x version.

I need to do some testing before I can put this in. Leave open for review.

Ok I lied it is in CVS and will be included in the 1.3 release.

Thanks
Robert
