Hey all, quick question that maybe should be more obvious but I cannot  
find.

I need to get the children of a parent other than the current. I have  
a “News” page, with individual articles comprising each story. I want  
to pull the last 3 children of “News” for a sidebar (currently  
implemented in a snippet.)

What am I missing?

Thanks,  
Kevin

Wrap the \<r:children:each\> tag with \<r:find url="/news"\>…\</r:find\> or  
whatever the URL is to your “News” page.

Thanks Sean, That was quick! I actually stumbled upon the solution too.

The idea (I think) is to “scope” the r:children:each with the r:find  
as a parent.

\<r:find url=“news”\>  
\<r:children:each\>
