Hi there Mallah,

That's exactly the kind of thing that a "related
story" sub-element  
can be used for.

You'll need a related_story.mc template to handle the
display of your  
related stories.

Best,

Phillip.

Hi,

The "Related Stories" and "Related
Story" Element Types were useful.
However i could not find related_story.mc file (did you mean
story_list.mc?)

Hence i did below in my template.
I hope it  is appropriate and efficient.

mallah.

--- see_also.mc ------

<%perl>
my $container =   $element->get_container(
'related_stories' ) ;
return unless defined $container;
my stories = map {  $_->get_related_story() }
$container->get_elements('related_story');
return unless (stories);
</%perl>
<br>
<b>SEE ALSO</b>
<ul>
% foreach my $s (stories) {
<li> <a href="<% $s->get_uri()
%>"><% $s->get_name()
%></a></li>
%}
</ul>
