The Suggest Similar Titles module helps prevent duplicate content by comparing node titles of the same content type as you create or edit a node. When you enter a title, the module checks for existing titles in the database and suggests potential duplicates based on a configurable similarity percentage. This ensures admins and users can avoid unintentional content duplication on your site.
Key Features
- Content Type Flexibility: Enable the feature for any content type(s) of your choice.
- Customizable Matching: Set a percentage threshold to determine how closely titles must match to be considered similar (e.g., 75% similarity).
- Ignore Keywords: Specify keywords to exclude from title comparisons.
- Suggestion Limits: Control the maximum number of similar titles displayed as suggestions.
- Permission Awareness: Choose whether the module should respect node permissions when displaying suggestions.
- Display Options: Position suggestions either above or below the title field for optimal user experience.
- Themable Output: Use the provided template file to customize the appearance of suggested titles to match your site’s design.
Configuration
The module includes a dedicated settings page where you can:
- Enable or disable the feature for specific content types.
- Add keywords to ignore during title comparisons.
- Set the maximum number of suggestions to display.
- Configure whether node permissions should be considered.
- Adjust the similarity percentage threshold.
- Customize the display location of suggestions (above or below the title field).
Permissions
To view similar title suggestions, users must have the "View similar titles suggestion" permission. This permission can be managed in the module’s settings page, alongside standard Drupal node permissions.
