Core related articles not working

Post by systeman » Wed May 20, 2009 9:34 am

Hi,

This is the first time I've tried to use the Joomla 1.5 core Related Articles module that ships with Joomla 1.5.

The problem I have is that all I can see is an empty place holder for the module, there are no links displaying at all.

All pages on the website have meta tags for the usual title, keywords, description etc. As far as SEO goes, the website is positioned in first place on the first page of all the major search engines for at least 6 or more highly relevant search terms

I've tried publishing the module to various positions but with the same result. Also tried it with and without the title.

Setup:

Joomla 1.5.10
Joomla 1.5 SEF Patch

Core SEF enabled

Any ideas, anyone?

Regards.

It's great you HAVE meta keywords, but there must be literal matches between the keywords in two or more articles for the related module to work...

eg:

Golf, Golf
Don't HACK the Joomla! core, Instead "Extend" and/or "Override."
Stay ON the update path.
