Hi Jay,
I just did something similar. Basically I just created an "include"
paragraph, the dialog for this paragraph has 4 parameters: link,
collectionName, beginIndex, endIndex.
link: the page u want to grab content from
collectionName: in Magnolia's example, it's mainColumnParagraphs.
u may have more than one collectionName in one page, depends on your
template.
beginIndex, endIndex: 0 based index. u can choose which
paragraph(s) to be included.
The following is some code from my jsp file. Hope it will give u some idea.
Cheers,
Richard
