So excited to see this on the release notes.

When providing it in my themes a bit disappointed, so have delayed it. You need to distinguish in the function call what to relate (images,albums,news,pages), with no thumbs for images.

Why can't you just relate ALL being it is on tags only. So you can have this function call on a sidebar, say, and it does not matter if you want albums, images, news, pages, etc, if their are objects with the same tags they are listed.

Then depending on the objects listed, they may have a thumbnail. Sorry, but when you list related images, you have to have a thumbnail (display of an image).

Nice addition, wish I would have examined it earlier...

Edit: Oh also - can you put a html wrapper with a class on it please!!!

    Maybe a check of:

    Current item has tags: true, then display related items per context, switch - news (title-snippet), page (title-snippet), album (title-thumb), image (title-thumb)

    The plugin was originally made for our site and the user guide/extensions sections and therefore originally for news only.

    The beta had been out a while for testing for these things. Sorry too late for any changes for 1.4.3 now which is scheduled today anyway. Please open a ticket and we look at those extension for 1.4.4.

    I see no need to add a wrapper as you can do that easily on your theme yourself?
