section specific excerpts

i have a page setup where the selected article fills a left side content bar. on the right side content bar i want a ‘related information’ type thing. so how can i pull excerpts from other articles within the section (at random preferably) into my right content div?

Re: section specific excerpts

Well, like with txp:article_custom, like this (if you even mean a something like this – replace section blog with the section that you want to use):

<txp:article_custom sort="rand()" section="blog" limit="10" form="excerpt-list" />

The Article-form excerpt-list:

<txp:excerpt />
<txp:permlink>Read the full article <txp:title /></txp:permlink>

Cheers!
