README.txt in Similar Entries 6.2
Same filename and directory in other branches
DESCRIPTION ----------- Similar entries provides a default Views block for displaying similar published nodes to the currently viewed one, based on the title and body fields. This module is for MySQL-based Drupal sites. It uses MySQL's FULLTEXT indexing for MyISAM tables, and should automatically add the index when you activate the module for the first time on a Drupal site version 4.7.x or newer. NOTE: If your node_revisions table is InnoDB, this module's install file will convert your table to MyISAM. The FULLTEXT indexing feature of MyISAM is not available for InnoDB (yet). INSTALLATION ------------ Copy the similar directory to your modules directory. (sites/all/modules/similar) Activate the module in administer >> Site building >> Modules. Turn on the similar block in administer >> Site building >> Blocks. WORKING WITH VIEWS ------------------ To customize the similar entries block, navigate to administer >> site building >> views and edit the view named similar_entries. The similar entries view uses a custom argument. This node ID argument must be present in the view to be able to perform FULLTEXT searches on node bodies and CCK fields. Searching and comparing against CCK fields is optional in the argument. Similar entries indexes CCK field tables when cron runs. If you set up a new CCK field on a content type you can force Similar entries to index it by navigating to administer >> status report and clicking on 'run cron manually'.
