thanks for the new code addition or the related items...

Thanks a lot for this.

I would also like to include the introtext, i have tried this by adding <?php echo $item->introtext; ?> to your code... i thought it made sense but nothing happens.

Any ideas on this?

i found a solution

 

change this code (in item.php)

 

 

  <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRelated') && isset($this->relatedItems)): ?>

 <!-- Related items by tag -->

<div class="itemRelated">

<h3><?php echo JText::_("Related items (by tag)"); ?></h3>

<ul>

<?php foreach($this->relatedItems as $key=>$item): ?>

<li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?>">

<a href="<?php echo $item->link ?>"><?php echo $item->title; ?></a>

</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>

<div class="clr"></div>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

 

 

WITH THIS CODE

 

  <?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRelated') && isset($this->relatedItems)): ?>

  <!-- Related items by tag -->

<div class="itemRelated">

<h3><?php echo JText::_("Related items (by tag)"); ?></h3>

<ul>

<?php foreach($this->relatedItems as $key=>$item): ?>

            <?php //print_r($item);?>

<li class="<?php echo ($key%2) ? "odd" : "even"; ?>">

<a href="<?php echo $item->link ?>"><img src="<?php echo $item->imageXSmall; ?>" alt="<?php if(!empty($this->item->image_caption)) echo $this->item->image_caption; else echo $this->item->title; ?>" /><span class="itemRelatedTitle"><?php echo $item->title; ?></span></a>

</li>

<?php endforeach; ?>

</ul>

<div class="clr"></div>

</div>

<?php endif; ?>

<div class="clr">

</div>

 

 

And now you have and photo in "related items (by tag)"
