Guys,

I need your help, I’m having this ditto call: Dealers in Europe

[[Ditto? &parents=`161` &tpl=`country`]]

This chunk for tpl: country

<a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility('country');"><h1>[+pagetitle+]</h1></a>
<div id="country" style="display:none; width:100px;">[+introtext+]</div>

Pagetitle does show, introtext doesn’t. I have no clue whats wrong, even when i put it somewhere else, it just doesn’t display anything :S Also when i put the YAMS code:

[[YAMS? &get=`data` &docid=`[+wf.docid+]` &from=`pagetitle`]]

in the country tpl it doesn’t show anything.. what to do?

By the way, the template contains this code for the javascript action:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
    function toggle_visibility(id) {
       var e = document.getElementById(id);
       if(e.style.display == 'block')
          e.style.display = 'none';
       else
          e.style.display = 'block';
    }
//-->
</script>

Script is working!

Cheers

Btw, even when im just using a plain template like: <h1>[+pagetitle+[</h1> <p>[+content+[/p] or <p>[+introtext+]</p> it doesn’t work.. See http://manter.com/nl/contact-nl/contact-dealers-nl/europa for the result

Change

<h1>[+pagetitle+[</h1> <p>[+content+[/p] or <p>[+introtext+]</p>

to

<h1>[+pagetitle+]</h1> <p>[+content+]</p> or <p>[+introtext+]</p>

<a href="#" onclick="toggle_visibility(’country’);"><h1>[+pagetitle+]</h1></a>
<div id="country" style="display:none; width:100px;">[+introtext+]</div>

if this tpl is getting called multiple times you’re going to have a bunch of divs with the id of "country", so your js call probably will not work, and since you have your "display:none;" styled in line on your div, it won’t show.

your template only contains:

<h1>[+pagetitle+]</h1><div style="width:100px;">[+introtext+]</div>

what happens? i see no reason that shouldn’t work, then get the javascript working.

for example i use this tpl in a ditto call:

<p><a href="[~[+id+]~]"><strong>[+menutitle+]</strong> »</a><br />[+introtext+]</p>

it’s very similar to your’s and works just fine.

Yes but thats the problem, things like that were always working, and still working.. but not in this case? even when i remove all the JS.. The problem was that it just didnt show the content or the introtext, i’v changed the ditto call to:

[!Ditto? &id=`(yams_id)` &language=`(yams_mname)` &tpl=`country` &dateFormat=`%d. %B %Y` &extenders=`@FILE assets/modules/yams/yams.extender.inc.php` &trunc=`true` &truncOffset=`15` &truncLen=`120` &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` !]

and now it is working.. BUT, there is still a problem. It only works for the languages i’v filled in the content.. the [*content_en*] in fr/de/nl arent working. It shows the ditto call as you can see on http://manter.com/de/kontakt/contact-dealers-de/europe-de Only french works because i’v added it.. does anyone knows how to solve this problem?

Well, it doesn’t pick the content from the right document.. whats wrong?
It takes the content from the parent folder instead of the childs:S

Using [*...*] will get the value for the current page (the page the Ditto call is on, not necessarily the &parents defined page). The chunk tpl is being applied from the parent page to the content of each child page in turn. So always [*...*] will apply to the value for the page the snippet call is on while the [+...+] placeholders are applied to the chunk tpl over and over again as it loops through the child pages.

Well, i’m not using any [**]’s in the tpl.. this is how it looks now:

<div id="country" style="width:240px; float:left">
<div style="float:left"><a href="[~[+id+]~]"><img src="[+countryflag+]" height="18px" width="26px"> </div>
<div style="float:left"><h1>[+pagetitle+]</h1></a></div>
<div id="landen">
<br>
[+content+]
</div>
</div>

And the Ditto call:

[!Ditto? &id=`(yams_id)` &language=`(yams_mname)` &tpl=`country` &dateFormat=`%d. %B %Y` &extenders=`@FILE assets/modules/yams/yams.extender.inc.php` &trunc=`true` &truncOffset=`15` &truncLen=`120` &orderBy=`menuindex ASC`!]

And the output:

Dutch version:

http://manter.com/nl/contact-nl/contact-dealers-nl/europa

English version:

http://manter.com/en/contact/contact-dealers/europe-en

The content_en is the Ditto call, content_nl is [*content_en*]

content_en on the subpage The Netherlands is what you see in

http://manter.com/en/contact/contact-dealers/europe-en

content_nl on the subpage The Netherlands is [*content_en*] and it shows

http://manter.com/nl/contact-nl/contact-dealers-nl/europa

So, whats wrong here?:S

Hi Joeeeh. As explained by Sottwell, the problem is the [*content_en*] that you have placed in the [*content_nl*] of the source document that gets pulled into your ditto output. When Ditto grabs the content for the Dutch field it outputs it as [*content_en*] - which then gets evaluated in the context of the document where the Ditto snippet is rather than the context of the source document.

I haven’t tried this, but to get what you want you could try using something like: ((yams_data:[+id+]:content_en)) instead of [*content_en*] in the Dutch content field.

In the context of the source document, I *think* [+id+] will get evaluated as [*id*] - the id of the source document - and YAMS will evaluate the yams_data placeholder to get the result you want. In the context of the Ditto snippet, Ditto will also evaluate [+id+] as the id of the source document and hence you will still get the result that you want.
