Everything is almost perfect. After modifying the blacklisted keywords to include some other common English words (I never realized the English language was so huge!), the related articles are very well-matched and have increased pageviews/visit.

But... I want to move the plugin above my SexyBookmarks plugin, but I can't do it :( My site would look much better in this order: Extranews > SexyBookmarks > CompojoomComment, but instead I have: Sexybookmarks > Extranews > CompojoomComment.

If this were fixed, I could give it max rating.

Awesome! Really easy to configure which sections, categories and even articles should be affected by this plugin. Should be standard in Joomla.

I use this plugin to show a list of newer and older articles under every blogitem.

This plugin is "Simple" and gives you what you require "control over related articles links". I had spent long hours searching for a good plugin which gives you control over how your links to related articles appear, atlast I found this. Thank you! This should be a part of future Joomla releases.

Very, very good work..

I miss only one option:

To sort the list by number of matching keyword phrases ("best match").

If it's nothing complicated I would like to see as option in the next update of this extra plugin.. :)

Good job!!
This plugin complete perfectly the article view.
Fast clicks and easy navigation inside the site.

Thanks very much!

2 problems (not major but)

a.
You can choose in what sections/categories/articles to be disabled.
but you cant choose in what sections/categories/articles to be enabled.

So if i have 100 categories and want to show it on 2, i have to disable the 98 instead of just enable the 2 of them.

b.
Is not possible to hide the "next article" "previous article" links so if the default navigation is 'on' you have 2 navigations.

You can disable the default but if you want to stay only with it, you cant!

Request: read more 'random' from the same category or section :)

Thanks again, great job!

This plugin is a really good plugin. It sorts out the related items and opens them in a toolbox for quick navigation. Installation is very easy and there a a lot of configuration options.

I recommend this plugin for every joomla installation.
