Filter related content to a certain category
Is it possible to filter out certain categories on the Related Items Extended module? Or even better, to define a list of categoryIDs to take information from.
I've looked alot after extension which could utilize article meta data in order to show the related content.
However, what we do need is to take relevant articles from our showcase category and corelate it to services.
Right now, even the "about company" is shown, which is not necessarily wrong but not desired
I am not a PHP guru, however in my point of view even hardcoded categoryIDs are perfectly fine, as long as I may edit the code and add relevant category by myself.

Hello
Yes this module helper will query related articles based on the meta keyword(s) only - no category filter.
So I'm curious why your About Company article have related meta keyword with your Showcase category articles (yes it could happen though )
