What's wrong with my template?

Hello,

i just don’t know why, i have an error from this ditto call:

here is the error:
[tt]
&tpl either does not contain any placeholders or is an invalid chunk name, code block, or filename. Please check it.
&tpllast either does not contain any placeholders or is an invalid chunk name, code block, or filename. Please check it.
[/tt]

my template does contain placeholders ([+id+] and [+pagetitle+]), so maybe it’s my code block which is invalid...
But i don’t know why
If someone could help...

I’d try moving the templates into a regular chunk as that typically works without issue. I suspect the single-quotes are tripping things up.

Hello,

i just don’t know why, i have an error from this ditto call:

    [[Ditto? &parents=`[*parent*]` &depth=`1` &tpl=`@CODE:<li><a href='[~[+id+]~]' title='Voir la page [+pagetitle+]'>[+pagetitle+]</a> | </li>` &tplLast=`@CODE:<li><a href='[~[+id+]~]' title='Voir la page [+pagetitle+]'>[+pagetitle+]</a> | </li>` ]]
 

The problem is that you cannot use the character "&" inside a parameter. So   is breaking it.

I try both single and double quotes but it don’t resolve the problem.

Now i put my template in a chunk and it works!

Thanks for help!

@ConseilsWeb
i’m pretty sure i had test my template with and whithout   to know if the problem came with it.
I’ll test it again.
Thanks

I think you can not use ’=’, ’?’ and ’&’ in your snippet parameter.

That is correct; they are used as parameter delimiters in a snippet call.

If you don’t like the idea of cluttering up the siteCache.idx.php cache file with lots of chunk templates, you can also use a single configuration file, in assets/snippets/ditto/configs/filename.config.php, and use standard PHP variable syntax:

All of your parameters can go in this file, leaving just one for the Ditto call: &config=`filename`; the .config.php part is added automatically by the snippet. You could also use &config=`@FILE: path/to/config/file` if you want to use a different location and filename convention. Or even use separate files for the templates, and use &tpl=`@FILE:path/to/template/file`. As is usual with MODx, you have a variety of methods to choose from

But please do use double quotes inside template-generated HTML chunks...

Thanks for all your advices and explanation, i will follow them in the future
and... i promise to don’t use single quotes inside template-generated HTML chunks

Thanks again.
