Link to articles with the same custom field
Wondering if this is possible at all. I’m using glz_custom_fields, if that helps/makes things more difficult.
I want to be able to make a link to a page (search results page?) that shows articles that have the same cutom field value.
For example, I have a custom field called “animal”
In article A, the value of animal is dog. I want to bea able to post a link to other articles where animal=dog something like a hypothetical <txp:custom_field name=“animal” link=“1” />
is this possible?

Re: Link to articles with the same custom field
Maybe I did not understand well, but wouldn’t this work?
<txp:article_custom animal="dog" />Offline

Re: Link to articles with the same custom field
Try chs_if_urlvar or smd_if to create your custom search results page.
You should be able to link to the page like this (within your article form):
<a href="<txp:site_url />?animal=<txp:custom_field name="animal" />">
Other <txp:custom_field name="animal" /> related articles
</a>Offline

Ok. Els is right then.
I suggest you use smd_if against chh_if_urlvar though because is has a lot more flexibility
