context being ignored?

[i-just]

I'm grabbing some related entries like this:

{% set tagsFieldHandle = 'centreArticlesTags' %}
{% set related = craft.similar.find({ element: entry, context: entry[tagsFieldHandle], criteria: craft.entries.limit(3) }) %}

Up until version 1.0.6, Similar was only returning entries that actually used 'centreArticlesTags' field. Since version 1.1.0, the plugin is returning entries from various other sections that don't use that tags field at all.

I can limit it to just the section(s) I want via criteria, but it seems to me that this change in behaviour might not be intentional? I mean I'm not sure what it now actually uses to figure out if another entry is related since it's looking through entries that don't have the tags group I specified in context? Was this change in behaviour intentional?

Very well could be an unintentional side-effect. Will have a look

I'm having the same problem.

When the entry has tags that do not have another related entry, it returns entries from other sections. Even if it is limited by section via criteria, it returns multiple inputs (from the same section) with count = NULL.

In context I must pass the IDs of the tags because if I useentry.tags it returns entries that do not have related tags either (with count = NULL).

I'm using version 1.1.1

{% set tagIds = [] %}
{% for tag in entry.servicioTags %}
  {% set tagIds = tagIds|merge([tag.id]) %}
{% endfor %}

{% set serviciosCriteria = craft.entries
                  .section('servicios')
                  .with([
                    'imagen',
                    'categoriaPerfil',
                    'servicioTags'
                  ]).limit(4) %}

{% set serviciosRel = craft.similar.find({ element: entry, context: tagIds, criteria: serviciosCriteria }) %}

Addressed in: https://github.com/nystudio107/craft-similar/commit/47aa0bdee22c4effe572189b554af642c7ff67b5

You can try it now by setting your semver in your composer.json to look like this:

    "nystudio107/craft-similar": "dev-develop as 1.1.2”,

Then do a composer update

@i-just @aurexs you able to try this?

@khalwat it seems to be back to how it used to work; context is limiting finding related/similar entries to the ones that have the context field in them; thanks for fixing!
