Title: Connect related articles
Post by: Tink on January 10, 2006, 04:26:03 PM
I think it would be really cool if related articles had a link at the bottom and/or top of each article that would take you to the next article and previous article (if one exists). For example, for the "Geek Girls Survival Guide #4," there could be a link somewhere on the page that will take you to the third article and the fifth article.

I agree, that would be cool.

I've got something like that coded into TWG 4.0 already, basally it's a related article box that shows X number of articles that have similar keywords.

This would especially be nice for the Geek Girl articles since they always seem to be in a different section, due to the fact that MsFish writes about all sorts of geek stuff. I myself have been frustrated when I wanted to find a previous article and it is no longer on the front page. I guess I could search all the sections, but that just reeks of effort. I'd rather have Sprig do it.  ;)

Here here.  

Chimera, if you're looking for them, they're all in Other or Rpgs.  Guess I need to branch out a little more.

I've had a new keyword sort script, one that will search for them cross departments, for about 2 years.  Just haven't bothered to upload it and change all the department pages since I would have to bug tage to upload all my stuff.
