Does Vanilla has related topics plugins?

I notice that vanilla does not have this function. Can you tell me if there are plugins or app support?

The plugin setup screen has this line on the very top: "Click here for the Customization Guide."

I highly suggest you read it thoroughly.

Within this short guide you will see this paragraph:

"The side panel is only visible when there are other discussions that share the same topic as the current discussion. Thus, for best results you should first customize the topic ​construction options ​(see below) ​and then initialize the discussion table using the update option​ (also see below)​ before expecting to see side panel results."

Also, the plugin setup screen has a section at the bottom that is dedicated to "Table Update-Adding topics to previously saved discussions"

To the right of that section there is a box with these note:

Titles are attached to discussions when the discussion body (not comments) are saved.
You can use this Table Update process to attach titles to discussions without topics (e.g. discussions created before plugin activation) or to reconstruct the topics when you change some of the settings.

I highly suggest you read everything and experiment with the various options.

Good luck!

I have problem with this extension. It doesn't appear on the sidebar. I've check the permissions & roles for view.

Please attach your settings for the plugin and of course the vanilla version you are using
