include content from another page

[reljicb]

Hi all,

I'd like to make a custom tag which includes content from another page than the current (loaded/requested) one.
In other words, something like {content}, but with an attribute which points to the "other" page alias or id (for example: {my_content page=%page-alias%}).

I'm new to CMSMS, I don't know which code should I use as basis (which interfaces/functions for DB access etc).

Any hint would be very appreciated. Thanks!

Depends on what you want:
-- A simple alias (duplicate of another page): ContentAlias
-- A page but with only the content of another: CGSimpleSmarty

Look in forge

Thank you Alby,

this is exactly what I was looking for:
  get_page_content($alias,[$block],[$assign]) - Returns the text of a specific content block of another page.

What I actually want is to make a custom tag which I would name "page teaser" tag (you know what I mean: "This article is about... [more]"), to show few lines of text from the given page and block.
Now, my original idea is to use an existing module/tag which fetch me the page content, and to leave first few lines, and the rest to truncate... To your knowledge, does this exist (I did tried to find it online, but unsuccessfully).

Cheers!

Use get_page_content and truncate modifier of smarty
