Description
I've researched all of the issues for this module, but can't get the "Similar by Terms" block to display.
I have one vocabulary called "VinceList", set to "Tags"
I've got several Stories tagged with WordA and WordB and WordC.
I've got at least one Story tagged only with WordA.
I've set the Block to display "Similar entries from the VinceList vocabulary" in the Right Sidebar.
I've checked the block configuration and the Performance Cache.
I've even added WordB as a synonym on the WordA screen.
Nothing I do makes the block display.
I'm playing with lots of modules, and have set my php.ini file to memory of 128M.
I'm relatively new to Drupal, but have been going at it pretty hard for the last three weeks.
Any thoughts?

The block doesn't display on the front page. It only display's when you are displaying a node?
Thanks

The block doesn't display anywhere.
In fact, I've never seen what it's supposed to look like!. :)

Please try the all block and see if it displays.
Thanks

I'm new enough to Drupal that I'm not sure what you mean by "try the all block".
I've checked all the configurations for this, but I suspect that you might mean adding a line or two to the /theme/garland/block.tpl.php file.
Thanks for any further clarification that you can provide!
Best,
Vince

There are blocks created for each taxo term plus an all block that will include all terms for all taxo groups. I am suggesting you use the one for all taxo groups It might be an issue were the block just isn't finding enough matches to work with.

Thanks, Robert.
I originally had only one vocabulary (with about 8-10 terms). The block did not appear.
In the meanwhile, I added a second vocabulary.
I then followed your instruction to move the "Similar entry from ANY vocabulary" into the Right Sidebar. Still no luck.
Just to clarify: If I have Story #1 tagged with WordA and WordB, and Story #2 tagged with WordA, what should the Right Sidebar look like?
As I initially wrote, I also set WordB to be a synomym for Word A. Still no luck.
Thanks for any additional thoughts.
Best,
Vince

I was clicking on a taxonomy term, and getting a results page (i.e., 3-4 nodes on one page). No Similar by Terms information appeared in the Right Sidebar.
Last night I stumbled over the answer (after getting it to work in a separate installation on my laptop). I simply needed to click on one of the found nodes so that it was the only node in focus.
Voila! The Similar by Terms block appeared on the right!
This makes complete sense, and I'll just have to chock up my stumbling to a case of the "Drupal newbies". I'm trying to learn everything I can about the various Taxonomy (and related) modules. Little by little, I'm getting them to work.
Thanks, Robert, for your efforts in getting me on the right path.
Best,
Vince
