Related articles question

OK…I’m stuck.

I’m working on a site for a record label. On each individual artist page I need to link to excepts from all other articles related to that artist. Most importantly the releases. I need this to take place in the “article_form”. I have all the artists assigned to their own category…I just can’t figure out how to link to the excerpts of the related articles.

I tried using chh_article_custom, but it does work when I put it in the form.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Tom

Re: Related articles question

Related meaning in the same category as the article displayed? There is txp:related_articles, but it only lists article titles.
Also you can’t use an article tag in an article form, but you can use something like this on the page template, after your article tag:
<code>
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article category=“yourcategory” limit=“nn” listform=“yourform” />
</txp:if_individual_article>
</code>
“yourform” being the article form that displays the excerpts.
