    Hi there,

    I’ve been trying to figure out how to display a “More pages like this one” list of links in a sidebar on each page of our site. The links would span different weblogs and different categories and the page itself should be excluded in each case.

    I’ve tried doing it through the Query module and using some custom fields but I just can’t get it. Am I right that I can’t nest {exp:weblog:entries} tags within Query tags? Will I need some PHP to pass custom variables to the {exp:weblog:entries} tag? In that case, I may just go with Solspace’s Tag module.

    Am I missing an obvious way to accomplish this?

    I’d probably use Tags in this case, yes. You can show related entries (from the same category), too. Moving to the CodeShare Corner.

    Thanks Ingmar, and apologies if I posted in the wrong place.

    Just making sure I hadn’t missed a built-in way of achieving the same thing. I’ll go with Tag so I think.
