[Request] Related Items

Hi,
I think this must be a common requirement.
In an item view I'd like to see a list of items that share the same category
Possible Parameters for the plugin:
# of items to display
Item linkable
Related fields to display (thumbnail/title etc..)
Does something similar already exist?

wouldn't tags solve this?
The plug-in could be built rather easily?

.
Been working on a module to display other items in the same category.
Have named the module: More In This Category for FLEXIcontent (M)
Below each item it displays a list of links to other items in the same category.
Parameters currently include:
- number of links to display
- sorting order

Does not display an image, but I will also look at adding that feature.

Works mostly, but I have a bug or two to track down.
I modified an older Joomla module and it is missing a few modern features - need to add a few things like Joomla caching and module CSS class.

Will not get back to working on this module again until later this week.

.

just finished making this plugin let me know if you need it as a field plugin I'll forward it to you.
Currently you can control:
-the number of articles returned
-Auto limit based on permission i.e. guest, registered, special
-SEF friendly (BETA) works with Joomla SEF
-field plugin

flexiaccess compatibility to come soon.
as soon as I am certain SEF works across the board I will add the abiltity to limit by author as well. So you will have the option of returning a list of articles by only one author or just the latest items in that category


Ill post a link to a demo in a minute or two
but contact me if you want to test it out
Cheers
