Related nodes by taxonomy term in a view block In Drupal 7, I've got a content type called "Asset" with a taxonomy field called "Category". All I need is a Block on the Asset pages that looks at the current node's Category term(s), finds all other Asset nodes tagged similarly, and spits out a list of their titles, links to them, and a few other bits of info from their node. 

A Views Block was my first thought... but I'm having a heck of a time making this happen in Drupal 7. Maybe it's problematic because my URL doesn't include the Term ID? Anyway, I've searched and followed a bunch of tutorials (like this one and this one), but to no avail. So, here are my questions:


If Views is the answer, what am I doing wrong?
Is there a Drupal 7 module that can do this for me?
I've done a little tweaking myself, and I seem to have gotten a working solution here.


Create a new block for the nodes you'd like to display
Add a new Contextual Filter: Content: Has Taxonomyterm-ID
Select: "when the filter is not available, provide a default value: Taxonomyterm-ID from URL."
Put a check next to "Load Standard Filter from node-page, useful for related taxonomyblocks"
And you will probably want to limit the vocabulary as well


In order to exclude the current Node you have to add a second Contextual Filter for Node-ID, provide default value as the content ID from URL and at the bottom of the modal pop open 'More' and check 'Exclude'
