Trick: How to Add Related Photos, Forum Posts and Blogs Widget

[JFarrow]

Actually, this tip could be used for adding related posts to Photos (example), Forum Topics (example) or Blog Posts (example).  To be honest, using this method you could probably show related posts and pages for just about any feed on the network you like.

Go to LinkWithin

           put in your email and blog link (yournetwork.com/profiles/blog/list), forum link (/forum)or photo link (/photo)

Generate your code and place it at the bottom of all other codes inside the Custom Code box.

Then add the following undernieth it inside the custom code box

For Related Photos Widget:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
x$("DIV.imgarea").after('<div class="linkwithin_div" align="center"></div>');
}
else{
}
</script>

For Related Forum Topics:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
x$("DIV.discussion").after('<div class="linkwithin_div" align="center"></div>');
}
else{
}
</script>

For Related Blog Posts:

<script type="text/javascript">
if (typeof(x$) != 'undefined') {
x$("DIV.xg_module.xg_blog.xg_blog_detail.xg_blog_mypage.xg_module_with_dialog").after('<div class="linkwithin_div" align="center"></div>');
}
else{
}
</script>

Bonus Tip:  Add Style to Your Widget

by styling the widget using CSS (in advanced CSS) you can add background image behind the links like so

DIV.linkwithin_inner {background:url('https://yourimage.png')}

Known issue: displays 2-4 similar posts and thumbnails. I experienced it a month ago but I am not sure if linkwithin has fixed it already. Its really a good widget though.

[Fernandes Oliveira]

Eu havia ajeitado um código mas o seu é bem mais prático

Thanks friend for sharing, I have a few questions I've seen are not exact operation when related publications of interest, for example, if I put the 3 codes you please put this brings up the pictures, forums, and blog , but when I go to a forum or a blog which I recommended "might also like" are the photos in publications, when it should be photos with photos, blogs and forums linking blogs forums relating not only relates a category, if you could not fix the code friend, Thanks

Is it possible to add this to videos??

[JFarrow]

due to the fact that our video thumbnails do not always render, i would think it would be ugly although it will probably work

[Ceddy J]

Dont we already have something like this for videos anyway? It show related videos or latest videos. It picks at random.

[Michael Thompson]

Ning does. But, on my networks we use the bigger 640 x 480 embed code for videos and so the videos take up all the space. So, I would like some sort of additional related video thumbnails to appear below the video. Our members like the bigger size videos much better than the standard size.

I added the code for blogs and it worked nicely. I then added the code for photos and again it worked nicely for photos. But, I noticed this morning when I went back to the blog posts that the "You might also like:" below each blog posts is displaying photos instead of blog posts. 

I assume that the widget under blogs should display just blog recommendations  and the widget under photos should display just photo recommendations. I actually don't mind if the recommendations are mixed "blogs, pictures, forum), but it looks like it is currently just displaying photo recommendations under both blogs and photos.

great job works like magic.

Am curious wont this work for member profiles as well so it will be like recommender system recommending other members.....more like promoting members to connect with each other?
