I’m currently showing related news based on using the group name as a keyword, but I’d like the comments to appear in the activity stream, like they do in the global activity template.

Anyway, I’ll look into your suggestion on both this and the other topic you’ve replied to, thanks.

I wasn’t getting anything with the in_array (must’ve had brackets in the wrong place or something) and then started thinking that the array call in the function up top would do that bit?
