Semantic Suggestion suggests related pages by comparing the text of the pages themselves, instead of relying on categories or hand-made links. A scheduler task analyses a page tree, stores a similarity score for every relevant page pair, and a frontend plugin renders the best matches for the page being displayed.


Introduction 

What the extension does, what it does not do, and how it performs.

Installation 

Requirements, Composer and TER installation, first analysis run.

Configuration 

The scheduler task, every TypoScript setting, and the settings that are ignored.

Integration 

Rendering the suggestions: content element, Fluid, Bootstrap Package, templates and CSS.

Backend module 

Reading the stored analyses and the access rules that apply to editors.

Multi-site and multilingual 

One task per site, one run per language, and what stays instance-wide.

How it works 

The analysis pipeline, the scoring formula, language handling and caching.

Troubleshooting 

Diagnosing an empty suggestion list, debug mode, useful SQL.

Upgrade 

Migrating from 3.x / 4.0.0, and the behaviour changes of 4.1.
