Related Articles based on tags only?

Asked by Bryan van Putten 3 years ago Last activity 3 years ago

Hi there. The Related Articles in Helix automatically shows related articles in article details page based on category and tags.

However using 'category' means the articles suggested are totally unrelated in context.

For example, within 'City News' category, you get very random topics suggested, purely because they are news, and not because they are similar in context. Tags would make the difference.

I didn't have this problem with the standard joomla module. But I want to try to use Helix and SP Page Builder as much as possible.

Is there a way to change/edit the Related Artices, so that it purely is based on tags?

Hi. Just continue to use the module where you can configure everything as you like. Why do you want to deprive yourself of flexibility only for the wake of the desire to use Helix as much as possible? Helix cannot respond to all subtle user requests. You just put yourself in the framework

Hi. I just expected an answer, that's all. Below the Ask a Question button it literally says 'Get fast & extensive assistance from out expert support engineers'. If I knew I was going to be ignored, I wouldn't have asked. But it's all good. Thanks!

Hi Mehtaz,

Thank for you very much for your calm response. As a paid subscriber asking a product-related question I wasn't expecting the agressive reaction I got from Pavel. All is well now. Thanks! Looking forward to explore more of what Joomshaper has to offer.

Hi Bryan. I don’t understand what made you take my reaction for aggressive. And there was no thoughts. Just advice from the user to the user. And I'm not a member of the JoomShaper team.

Nevertheless, I regret if I touched you with something.

Hey Pavel. Aaah then I totally understand.
I was waiting for days to get a response, and I thought you were responding officially on behalf of Joomshaper.

Now I see the context (user to user) and it makes sense. Thanks for stepping in!
