    Hey, folks:

    I have a site that I’m building for a law firm. Among other things this site has individual pages that are devoted to each attorney of the firm, which they each can edit. Other things on this site are some articles that each lawyer has written, which are being presented together using Bob Ray’s incredible blog tutorial, which you can find more about on this page:

    http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Creating+a+Blog+in+MODx+Revolution

    It also features an automatically generated listing of each individual’s articles (based on who the author was at time of creation) on that attorney’s page. That was thanks to all who contributed on this thread:

    What a great community this is. Anyway...

    What the boss wants me to do now is find a way to use the blog’s tagging system to automatically list related (tagged) articles right on the attorney’s pages. Kind of a ’You May Also Want to Read the Following Articles’ type of thing.

    I set up the tagging system and it works great, but as it is done on the tutorial, it presents only the tag on the page, requiring you to click on the tag link and then go to a separate overall article listings page, where only the associated tagged articles are shown. That’s great but I want those tagged articles to automatically appear on the lawyer’s page...not the overall blog listings page.

    Any suggestions on how to do this? Any other way, besides tagging, to accomplish the same thing?

    Thank you in advance.

      I posted about this a while back, and it seems that it isn’t quite possible yet.

      There is a tutorial for implementing related pages, but its where you must manually select them.

        Wow, that’s disappointing, seeing that this would promise to be a very useful feature. I read your thread and it’s amazing how close all of you came to brainstorming a solution.

        Thanks for responding.
