At Easytech we are using Drupal for projects which require a CMS (Content Management System). It’s very powerful, full of modules to extend the functionality and written in PHP which is a Language for which we have a lot of programming experience. For a project we are working on we used the Related Content module. This module allows you to link a particular piece of content (a node in Drupal parlance) to other content such as images, videos, audios, etc. One problem with the current implementation of the module is that it wasn’t designed to work when you have lots of content on the site. The patch we currently submitted to Drupal fixes this by separating the Related Content into a tab and adding a filter to be able to quickly locate content items. Here’s a screenshot:
If you are interested in getting the patch its here. In case you want to download a patched version of the module I have included a tar file with the latest version as an attachment in this posting. Try it out and send feedback to: miquel <at> easytech <dot> com <dot> ar.
Here’s a tar file with the patched version to try out: relatedcontent-5.x-1.1-patch.tar.gz. To install it just download it and untar it in the modules/contrib directory of your Drupal installation.
