Support Forum
I always look for the way to entertain my readers.
Now my forum is not exactly the kind on which people just look for an answer to their question, find it and leave.
They hang out on my forum (or at least I believe they do).
Unfortunately, even very cool and interesting topics get buried in forums.
So, I always look to the way to keep even older posts somehow visible - even if in random way.
That's why I am asking for a feature resurrecting this older post /support-forum/spf-version-4/related-post-feature/ about related posts.
It would be absolutely awesome if in the end of each post I somehow could give a list of 5 similar topics.
I understand that it might be difficult for implementation due to different reasons (including big loads on server).
So as second part of my question I want to ask - is it possible at least give a list of 5 random posts?
Or list of anything which could make the forum posts interlinked in some way???
well, if you are using tags, there is all ready a related topics list based on the tags available...
and you can certainly do five random posts now using the program hooks...
you can do related posts too with program hooks if you came up with a formula for related...
the program hooks lets you add new content at the end of posts...
and with 5.0, its just a plugin away.... of course, both require a small bit of code to be written...

Tried the "relatedness" by tags, but didn't like the list of topics retrieved by this function.
Anyway, at least I put the tags themselves into forum (which I hadn't previously) and hopefully it will give to forum members more opportunities to dig around.
I can recommend to everyone who hasn't used tags to do so and also show them in forum.
And meanwhile... someone will come up with plugin for related posts [Image Can Not Be Found]
yes related tags looks for other topics with the same tags... so if topics dont have tags, they wont be related...
