   I'm wondering how I can show recent posts from the same taxonomy as the post that's currently being viewed (working with custom post types and custom taxonomies).

   If it was simply a category of a regular post, it would look like this:

   <?php global $post;
   $categories = get_the_category();
   foreach ($categories as $category) :
   ?>
   <h3>More News From This Category</h3>
   <ul>
   <?php
   $posts = get_posts('numberposts=20&category='. $category->term_id);
   foreach($posts as $post) :
   ?>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   <li><strong><a href="<?php echo get_category_link($category->term_id);?>" title="View all posts filed under <?php echo $category->name; ?>">ARCHIVE FOR '<?php echo $category->name; ?>' CATEGORY &raquo;</a></strong></li>
   <?php endforeach; ?>
   </ul>

   (found the above searching these forums)

   How would I go about customizing this code for a situation that involves custom post types and custom taxonomies ?

   Hi, to get a custom taxonomy use get_the_terms()
   

   $custom_cats = get_the_terms( $id, 'custom_category_name' );

   http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_the_terms

   You can then get the posts using get_posts:

   $args = array(
    'post_type' => [custom_post_type],
    [custom_cat_type] => [custom_cat_slug]
   );
   
   $custom_posts = get_posts( $args );

   Obviously, you can also use the other parameters for WP_Query too.
