SimilarTitle

SimilarTitle helps to prevent creating duplicate content by showing a list of nodes with similar titles when a node is created or edited.

Please avoid using this module

This module is a duplicate of Uniqueness which is more mature and offer more features. The only advantage of SimilarTitle is that it's using Views to generate the listsing, which makes it easy to tweak.

When I'll have enough free time I'll try to see if I can send a patch to make uniqueness integrate with Views.

When to use (or not) SimilarTitle

• If you want your users to know that existing nodes with similar title exists, this is what you need.
• If you want to forbid users from creating node with exactly the same title, you're looking for unique_field.
• If your want to display similar nodes in a block after the node is created, you'll find more information on this page : comparaison of similar / relevant by term block modules.

Configuration

• Install & enable the module
• Site configuration / Similar title settings : choose for which content type you want to enable SimilarTitle
• Permission display similar title : define who is allowed to use SimilarTitle
• Permission administer similar title : define who is allowed to administer SimilarTitle

Customisation

SimilarTitle uses a view called 'similar_title' to render the list. This view can be enabled and modified (or even themed) to make it looks the way your want.

Requirements

• Views

Known issues

• Views 3 : The view 'similar_title' has to be modified manually after install to disable paging and limit the number of items retrieved
