i need a block that can read the taxonomy term from the page it is displayed on and display links to a different content type which shares the same term.

i have set up a view which will only show a certain content type, so surely i just need to configure the block, I have played around with this for ages and got nowhere, any ideas please?

There was a bug in the code that was preventing the attributes from loading as expected. Get the new version from http://cvs.drupal.org/viewcvs/*checkout*/drupal/contributions/modules/gl... . Then, you'd do the following:

- in globalnode admin, add taxonomy to the list of attributes saved
- in your block, do something like this:


if($GLOBALS['globalnode']->taxonomy){
  $tax = array_pop($GLOBALS['globalnode']->taxonomy);
}

That'd give you the last category applied to a node. If you want to do multiple categories, you'd iterate over the taxonomy attribute, naturally. Then you could use vid and tid for each taxonomy value to get similar nodes.
