"Related article" module?
desi6ner - May 25, 2006 - 09:10
I want to have a "related articles" module on my site.
Example: When I write about cows I want other related articles
about cows to appear at the bottom of my story. Maybe I wrote about
Gary Larson and his cow drawings at some other time, then I would like
this article to be included in the "related article" section at the bottom
of the story. And I want this to be totally automatic.
Is this possible? If not possible, is there a way I can do this manually?
And I don't want every article with the word "the" to be related to
other articles whit this word.
Any thoughts on how to accomplish this?
There's a module
There's a module which does this or a PHP snippet which shows you a preview of each of the related items to help the user decide if they're useful to them or not.
Related Nodes
here is a module named "related nodes", you may try it:
http://drupal.org/node/39822
At least three modules...
* Similar Entries ( http://drupal.org/node/25974 ) does it based on similarity of title and body
* Similar by Term ( http://drupal.org/project/similarterms) does it based on taxonomy terms, but has no stable releases or 6.x releases at this point
* Similar Nodes ( http://drupal.org/project/similarnodes ) also does it based on taxonomy terms, and is in merger discussions with Similar By Term
* Related Nodes ( http://drupal.org/node/39822 ) also does it based on taxonomy terms, but states that it is abandoned in favour of "Similar By Term" (see above)

Blog related to book or page
All the modules mentioned above work with taxonomies, which is great way to have automated similarity, but is there any way to write a blog item and make a relation to a certain page or book page? This would offer the user a way to write more detailed (like an article style) writing related to another page.
nodereference should work
nodereference should work for
"make a relation to a certain page or book page"
- Now my question...
The above solutions (similarterms, similarnodes) assume that all content is correctly tagged. Has anyone considered having automatic tagging of content? What I am imagining is a sort of 'content sensitive' related nodes solution
I'm imagining:
(1) I have my Vocabs and Terms already set up (suppose, "Countries" and "Companies" in a certain Industry)
(2) I have news feeds coming from external sources (or user-generated content which is not adequately tagged by users)
(3) The news feeds are scanned for matching Taxonomy Terms - and when found - these are added to the node as tags.
(4) I use "similarX" module to provide related content...
Anything like this exists?
answer my own question..
think I found stuff here
http://drupal.org/node/170916
and with YahooTerms.
