Related Posts plugin modifications
Posted on | March 17, 2006 | 2 Comments
I’ve been delaying using a related entries plugin because it didn’t fit with my normal way of posting. See, it uses a Wordpress custom field "keywords" to do its matching. That’s OK, but I already have all my posts marked up with inline keywords, for the Technorati plugin Simpletags.
So, when I have an itch for long enough, I scratch it. So, I’ve written an extension to the related-posts plugin which reads keywords from the post text inside [tags] [/tags] markers. In other words, it leverages the use of the Simpletags plugin. You can see it in action by clicking the post title of any entry on this site.
I’ll be submitting the code additions to the original plugin author, but I don’t know if he’ll take them, since it is sort of an edge-case. In the meantime, feel free to comment here.
Here’s my modified related-entries plugin.
Technorati Tags: plugins, wordpress, wordpress 2, related-entries
