Hide similar tags module if no match

Hello,

How can I hide a "similar tag" module if there is no matching between articles ?
I do not want to display an empty module, but I don't know how to check if one article has no matching tags.

You can see an example of empty mod here:  http://lamothe.a51.fr/livrets-technique … dification (module called "sujets liés")

Thanks for your help.
Philippe

Re: Hide similar tags module if no match

Hi Philippe,

you hit the nail on the head when you wrote "I don't know how to check if one article has no matching tags". For MetaMod to be able to hide the module in this case, it needs to know how to check if an article has no matching tags.

Sorry, MetaMod doesn't know how to do that. You'd have to find the logic used in the "similar tag" module, and craft that into some PHP code that MetaMod can use. What's the exact module that you are using for the similar tag thing?

Cheers,
Stephen
