i’m having strange issues trying to list related entries. i’m using the latest build of the tag module.
if i use this method:
{exp:tag:related_entries weblog="weblog2" dynamic="off" limit="20" rank_limit = "3" entry_id="{entry_id}"}
<a href="{url_title_path='stuff/weblog2'}">{title}</a><br />
{/exp:tag:related_entries}
i get a list of strange entries that have nothing to do with the original, and occasionally it will even include the entry i’m looking at (not always). but if i manually enter the entry_id i want to relate in the template such as:
{exp:tag:related_entries weblog="weblog2" dynamic="off" limit="20" rank_limit = "3" entry_id="638"}
<a href="{url_title_path='stuff/weblog2'}">{title}/a><br />
{/exp:tag:related_entries}
everything works perfectly and i get expected results.
for the record i have several weblogs all with the same url titles so that may be throwing a wrench into things. does the weblog="” variable work in the related_entries tag?
edit: after playing around with it some more i noticed that entries with a unique url_title give expected results. entries that share an url_title with other blogs are hit-and-miss. it seems as though the weblog="” parameter is limiting the output of the tag properly but isn’t telling it to pull the original entry_id from that specific weblog.
in the meantime i can just copy the same tags between weblogs and block the duplicate from displaying with a conditional
