Pull selected documents into Ditto by TV values?

I need to show quotes on pages using Ditto.
Each quote will be categorized, and can be in multiple categories (I was planning no creating a multi-select TV for this)
The pages that show the quotes will also have a TV that designates which quote categories to show on the page.
Can someone help me with how to accomplish this?

I’m currently doing something like that on a site I’m making.

I’m using the following code in the category view template:



&tagData=`categories` : the TV that holds the quote’s categories, separated by commas
&tagMode=`onlyTags` : so that it matches only things that match all the categories
&tags=[*categories*] : the categories that we are looking to return. In this case held within a TV of the category view

Hope that points you in the right direction.

Awesome - thank you!

Just thinking of them as "tags" instead of "categories" completely changes how you look at it!

One other question:

I’m pre-setting the tags in the TV using a multiselect, but when I edit the TV, it throws off the selection in each document - can anyone suggest a better way (I’d rather not leave it up to the client to type a comma-separated list)

Thanks!

Just a suggestion:

Use latest Ditto, and use &parents instead of &startID.
