I just started using the pages module. I created my template All the page information is stored in the static weblog… It is displaying correctly.

I am also embedding a sidebar from the sidebar template. On the sidebar I have the following code.

exp:weblog:entries  weblog="testimonials"  orderby="random"  limit="3" }
<span class="testimonial">{test_body}</span>
<span class="tauthor">{test_name}</span>

<span class="ttitle">{title}</span><span class="tdate">{test_date}</span>
<hr >

{/exp:weblog:entries}

Testimonials is not the weblog that the static content is stored in. When I display the page that code doesn’t return the data I am expecting it too. Though when I call the sidebar template from another template (not the static page template) it works correctly.

What am I doing wrong

Probably it is showing dynamic data.

From the docs

Additionally, the page will automatically be treated as a single entry page for that page entry, so other tags on the template will need to use the dynamic=“off” parameter (if available) to display other content.

silenz nailed it- try the dynamic parameter- I think that will achieve what you’re going for.  Assuming I understood correctly.

Silenz and Robin Thank you both so much. Silenz hit the nail on the head. I guess I should RTFM more carefully. You both rock!!!!!
