Hi,
First of all - thanks for the answer to my question.

Personally I think the whole ”related article” function is not flexible enough. This is not just for K2, but also standard Joomla.

In my world related articles is not just about tags. We are also talking about category, creation date, time frame, hits, voting, author, etc. I would love to be able to combine all these options to get my related articles.

Example: I want to see all articles with minimum 2 matching tags, but only from the categories “Living” and “Sport” and the articles cannot be older than 1 year.

or

Articles with any matching tags, any category, but minimum 1000 hits the last month from author X.

I might be wrong, but I haven´t seen any components/modules/plugins that can do this – or just a nice part of it.

In my case I would need it for K2. If you know of any add-ons that can do this, please let me know.

Cheers,

Hello,

Tags should be the same. Even one should do the trick.
After that, the most recent items are being pulled and shown.

How can I change it so K2 choose random items instead of recent items?

Anybody who have changed the code so it works?

Cheers,

This feature might be added to Version 3.

Yes, I have also read that, but I was thinking about the current version.

Anybody who already managed to implement this in version 2.6.x?

There are K2 related content extensions.
You can look for one at the JED or here: getk2.org/extend
