While viewing a topic or post(s), is there a way to display a list of similar topics/posts?

My apologies if this has been asked already. My searching did not yield any results.

Thanks,

Jeff

similar to what?  if you are using the tags plugin where you add a set of tags or keywords to each topic, it comes with a related topics template tag to show other posts with same tags...

I guess that would work OK. Is this what you are talking about?

sort of... thats for 4.4 and 4.5... but a similar template tag does exist for 5.0... you will need the tags plugin for SP... within that plugin, is the related topics template tag....

Yep! I found it. I'm calling sp_HotTopicsTag() and it works.

Thanks,

I don't think that is the one Steve meant but if that gives you what you need that's cool

no, I meant spRelatedTopics()...  again, its in the tags plugin (not template tags plugin)...

the one you picked is find, but it will be list of the hottest topics based on quantity and recentness... but it has nothing to do with tags...
