Using a custom field for the ID value in a article_custom tag
I want to use a custom field to include a link from a blog post to any another article. This in a form
This will not work: <txp:article_custom id=”<txp:custom_field name=“custom2” />” lisform=“related article”>
I haven’t had much luck with asy_wondertag either.
Any suggestions?
