Displaying entry posts within current category

http://www.movabletype.org/documentation/appendices/tags/entries.html#related-entries-by-category

You might replace "glue" with lastn="3" unique="1" and add code for mt:EntrySummary to display more than the entry links.

the post is geat ,thanksss

Yeah, this is great. What would I add in if I want to exclude the current entry from this display?

On my Entry post page, I have a "Related Articles and News" area. I'd love to exclude the current post or the one I'm on from the list if possible.

Any ideas on that?

Thanks!

I just realized that is what the "unique" is supposed to do; filter out posts of those already on the page. I'm a little confused as to how to implement the mt:EntrySummary? How would you change this?

<p>Please be sure to read our other articles, including the following: 
        <$MTEntryCategory setvar="entry_category"$>
        <MTEntries category="$entry_category" glue=", " lastn="3" unique="1">
        <a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>"><$mt:EntryTitle$></a>
        </MTEntries>.
     </p>

<$MTEntryCategory setvar="entry_category"$>
<MTEntries category="$entry_category" lastn="3" unique="1">
<a href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>"><$mt:EntryTitle$></a>
<mt:Include module="Entry Summary">
</MTEntries>

This is great, but I am having trouble figuring out how to exclude the current entry from the Entry template. Since is implied on the Entry template, the current entry isn't wrapped in that tag, so the "unique" attribute does not work... it only works when wrapped is used more than once. Any suggestions?

Oops.

This is great, but I am having trouble figuring out how to exclude the current entry from the Entry template. Since <mt:Entries> is implied on the Entry template, the current entry isn't wrapped in that tag, so the "unique" attribute does not work... it only works when <mt:Entries> is used more than once. Any suggestions for excluding the current entry within the Entry template? I have a list of the entries one every entry page. Thanks. 

Replace unique=1 with offset=1

Hi, shenews. That does not work... that just removes the most recent entry from the list.

Here's the code in question:

<div id="left-arrow">
<a href="#" onclick="$.galleria.prev(); return false;"><img src="<$mt:StaticWebPath$>themes/bb-theme/images/left-arrow.jpg" alt="previous image" /></a>
</div><!--left-arrow-->

<div id="middle">

<ul class="gallery_demo_unstyled">

<mt:EntryAssets lastn="10" tag="@gallery">

<li<mt:if name="__first__"> class="active"</mt:if>>

      <img src="<mt:AssetURL>"

           alt="<mt:AssetLabel escape="html">"

           title="<mt:AssetLabel escape="html">" />

   </li>

</mt:EntryAssets>

</ul>

</div>

<div id="right-arrow">

<a href="#" onclick="$.galleria.next(); return false;"><img src="<$mt:StaticWebPath$>themes/bb-theme/images/right-arrow.jpg" alt="next image" /></a>

</div><!--right-arrow-->

<div><img src="<$mt:StaticWebPath$>themes/bb-theme/images/clear.gif" height="30" width="500"/></div>

  <div id="entry-section-thumbnails">



<div class="entry-section-thumbnail">

<mt:EntryAssets tag="@hover"><img name="<$mt:EntryID$>" id="<$mt:EntryID$>" src="<$mt:AssetURL$>" alt="<$mt:EntryTitle$>" /></mt:EntryAssets>

</div><!--entry-section-thumbnail-->



<mt:entryid setvar="thisentryid">

<$MTEntryCategory setvar="entry_category"$>

<mt:Entries category="$entry_category" exclude="$thisentryid$" sort_by="field:display_order" sort_order="ascend" offset="1">

<div class="entry-section-thumbnail">

  <a onmouseout="MM_swapImgRestore()" onmouseover="MM_swapImage('<$mt:EntryID$>','','<mt:EntryAssets tag="@hover"><$mt:AssetURL$></mt:EntryAssets>',1)" href="<$mt:EntryPermalink$>"><mt:EntryAssets tag="@thumb"><img name="<$mt:EntryID$>" id="<$mt:EntryID$>" src="<$mt:AssetURL$>" alt="<$mt:EntryTitle$>" /></mt:EntryAssets></a>

</div><!--entry-section-thumbnail-->

</mt:Entries>



  </div><!--entry-section-thumbnails-->  

Sorry, I no longer seem to know what you're trying to do.

"excluding the current entry within the Entry template" seems to swear at itself!

:) Thank you for your help.

Here's a page:
page example

This is an entry. There are five entries in the category. The entry page should show large image from the entry, small hover image for the entry, and small images for each of the other four entries in the category.

If anyone can help, I'd appreciate it! I've been struggling for nearly 12 hours now!

In case anyone else runs into this issue, here's what I did to get it to work:

<mt:EntryCategory setvar="entry_category"$>
<mt:EntryID setvar="entry_id"$>

<mt:Entries category="$entry_category" sort_by="field:display_order" sort_order="ascend">

<mt:If tag="entryid" ne="$entry_id">
