Where can I find a "Currently Watching/Reading/Listening" Plug...
Where can I find a “Currently Watching/Reading/Listening” Plugin for TXP? Does it exist? I like the way xanga preforms this feature….is there a similar one?

Re: Where can I find a "Currently Watching/Reading/Listening" Plug...
Honestly, except for the ones where you want your media player to be uploading a song title, etc to a site, there is a pretty easy way to this one without a plugin.
- Create a section that will never be intended to be seen (for me it’s devnull)
- Create a category called currently reading (or whatever)
- Create an article that has your currently reading selection in it.
- Put this article in your page in a spot with article_custom. Have it search on the currently reading category and have it list only 1 article.
Now whenever you want to change, you either edit the original article, or just write a new one (I do the latter to keep a history track.)

Re: Where can I find a "Currently Watching/Reading/Listening" Plug...
First off, thanks very much for taking time to reply and explain: I really appreciate it!
Second, this isn’t quite as nice an option as the way Xanga does it, but that’s the cost of having full control. Does anyone know of any other options? The feature I really like is that it has it included with each article, if desired, and also inlcudes a picture of the product. I think if no one has any more ideas, I might play around with it using the custom fields…we’ll see.
Thanks very much, though! Any other ideas?
