Hello,
I have a sub navigation which is essentially just a list of articles.

This is my code:

<ul>
{exp:query sql="SELECT blog_title, blog_name FROM exp_weblogs"}
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{blog_title}" dynamic="off"}
<li><a href="http://{path=/bch/{url_title}}">{title}</a></li>
{/exp:weblog:entries}
{/exp:query}
</ul>

Unfortunately this lists EVERY article from EVERY section.  I would just like it to restrict the list to articles belonging to the same section as the current article.

I hope that makes sense.

Thanks

Sorry to nudge this but I still can’t find a solution :(

Someone recently suggested I try the related categories mode and it works fine for me, is this not what you are looking for?

Assuming you mean: list all other articles from the categories the current article is in you can use:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="{embed:channel}" dynamic="off" category="{embed:current_cat}" limit="20" sort="asc" disable="trackbacks|member_data|pagination"}
   <li><a href="http://{title_permalink=class=showing">{title}</a></li>    
{/exp:weblog:entries}

This actually does a lot more: since I used it in an embed:
The weblog is passed manually but dynamically
This is needed because dynamic=“off” needs to be set-> or you just list the current entry
Also the current category needs to be passed—> A single article may belong to several categories, hence the single entry needs to be told which categorie(s) to list.
Also the current article is highlighted in the list (class=showing).

Hope this helps

PS: if you’re ok with not listing the current article it’s easier to use the related articles mentioned above

Im not using categories.  I need to show a list of articles belonging to the same weblog (section) as the the article currently being viewed.

well then it’s even simpler, just leave out the

category="cat"

part.

The key element is:

dynamic="off"

otherwise weblog:entries will dynamically reduce results according to the URL.

Also, what is wrong with using related categories?

Just set up a template and give it a try.
