Usage

To use this behaviour you need to also enable Related Items behavior in your content type.

How does it work

When you fire the button to load related items, it will search for all the items with more similar tags, and fill the related items automatically.

To calculate the similar tags, this package do one search for each tag, and sum how many times the item appear at the searches. The item that appear more are the item with more similar tags.

The amount of items filled are configured into a controlpanel option.
