Page List Stack

Permalink September 09, 2014 at 6:06 AM

I have a stack that contains articles.
I would like to pull a block in the stack to another page.
I would also like to truncate the article and add a read more link to the end of the truncated section.

I basically want it to work the same as a Page List would but from a stack and not a page.

Any one got any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

I seem to have solved part of my problem.
I have given the block a custom template name and called the block only using this:

<?php Block::getByName('MyBlockName')->display(); ?>

The text is now pulling through fine from my named block in my stack but I am still stuck with the truncation and Read More link.

Have a look at the page list teasers addon/template. It contains the code you need.
