hello all,

I was wondering how some sites organise articles so that they can show a
list of "related articles".
How is it determined which are the related ones.

Is there any free script that includes such a feature?
thanks!

Below is another thread called "programming amazon-like recommendations". I
think it will help you a great deal.

If your system is based on an SQL database you just create a table to hold
the relationships. If you have some other way to store the data you just
have to figure out a suitable way.

I think most simply expect the article writer (or possibly the editor) to
make the connections.
