Need a widget for b2evolution that lists other posts, links, podcasts, etc. related to the current post?
Use the Related Entries plugin as widget within a widgetized area such as your sidebar.
When a single post is displayed, the plugin will display other entries that share the same category with your post. The plugin displays the related entries by type, so all related links are in one section, all related podcasts in another section. If no related entries are found, nothing is displayed.
Thanks! One feature that would be nice would be a way to suppress the post that is showing on that page.
I’m not sure what you mean. The related entries show up when a single post is displayed, and depend on what that single post is.
Why would you want to hide the article but display related articles?
What I meant is that in the list of related entries is a link for the current post. So, I would like a way to suppress that post from the list of related posts. Thanks again for programming this!
The related entries list isn’t supposed to contain a link to the current post.
It doesn’t in the above screenshot, and it doesn’t on another example page, “Attract Butterflies with Container Plants as Nectar Sources” (http://www.thewildlifeporch.com/2010/06/13/attract_butterflies_with_container_plant).
Can you tell me where you spotted it, so I can check out the bug?
Here is an example:

Sarah,
I emailed you directly. It looks like there’s some html errors at the start of the related posts section (a double quote appears after the div with nothing accompanying it). The code excludes the current post from the list of related posts by title, so I think the generation of the html by the php has an error.
Let me know what you find out, or if you get stuck.
