HI, your plugin is the only plugin that i have found to have complete control over related tags, and it is awesome!!!!

I want to have multiple instances of the plugin running so i can have different related content on a single page, so i want to copy the plugin.

I have renamed the plugin folder and renamed every instance that the plugin references to in the .php file.

My question is, where does the plugin specify the saved settings, because ATM the plugins are sharing settings and i want to specify to save to a different set.

Regards
matthew

Hi lackie, using your fav text editor, just search for “relpoststh_” (without the quotes) and replace for “relpoststhb_” or something similar in your new copy, that should do.

Have a great day

Hi, I can’t install two in a same time. I have tried to replace “relpoststh_” with ” relpoststhb_” (without the quotes) and nothing. WordPress shows error on the line 803 and 805 and I can’t figure it out. I love your plugin and I am using it in post. I want to add it in the same time in sidebar but I want to change the number of thumbnails in sidebar (not in posts) to be in line with that in post. For example, I have selected to show 6 posts in post but I want there to be only 3 in sidebar. How can I do it?

Hi, not my plugin. But I can try to help you, can you paste lines #803~805? (and the error you get), that would be helpful.

Hi,

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare related_posts_thumbnails() (previously declared in /xxxxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/content/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails/related-posts-thumbnails.php:803) in /xxxxx/xxxxxxxx/xxxxxx/xxxxxx/content/plugins/related-posts-thumbnails2/related-posts-thumbnails.php on line 805

803. global $related_posts_thumbnails;
805.}

Sorry for the x-es!

I have put in pastebin for you to look: http://pastebin.com/B54W9Kpc

I had to rename dir to related-posts-thumbnails2

Basically: the copy of the plugin is complaining there are more than 1 thing with the same name -which is expected, as we just copied the same thing :)-

This is the nasty / ugly / hacky / do-it-but-don’t-tell-anyone-shame-on-your-code solution:

I’m up to my neck of work right now, but if you can wait for a week or so, I can build a nicer version that would allow you to have more than 1 widget (instead of copying the plugin several times)

Have a nice weekend!

Also:

“For example, I have selected to show 6 posts in post but I want there to be only 3 in sidebar.”

Casually, I replied to another guy the solution for that a few months ago:

(I guess I should create a B version of this plugin with all those hacks, as the original owner abandoned it)
