Hi!
I’m using NewsPublisher and Ditto to have news on my index (10 news per page).
My question is: how can I put avatars in news (somethin like extra field that I would insert URL of the image)?

I tried something with TV’s but with no luck. sad

P.S. and where to change the date format on [+date+] call so it would output this date: "05.04.2007." (instead of "5-Apr-07 19:06"

Thanks in advance!

TVs are the way to do this. Set up an image type TV as usual, then in your ditto template specify the name of the TV to include in the summary listing. See the documentation for your version of Ditto for the exact syntax to use.

Can you write me an example? (I’m using Ditto 2.0 RC2)

My ditto call (on index page) is

[[Ditto?&startID=`2` &summarize=`10` &removeChunk=`Comments` &tpl=`naslovna_vijesti`  &paginate=`0` &extenders=`date,summary,dateFilter`]]

..and my chunk with tpl is

<div id="title">[+date+] - [+title+]</div>
  <div class="clear"></div>
<div id="text_vijesti">[+summary+]</div>
  <div class="clear"></div>
<div id="autor_vijesti">Napisao [+author+]</div>

In pre-2.0 Ditto, you need to call your tv’s with the prefix "tv".

So you create your image TV called "Avatar". Then in Ditto, the call is: [+tvAvatar+]. Of course, in your page you’d need to put <img src="[+tvAvatar+]" />

PS: have a look at
http://ditto.modxcms.com/files/snippet-ditto-php.html#dateFormat

... I used in combination a small plugin to set the date locale format global for all snippets:

Plugin Name:
setlocaleDE

Plugin-Code:
setlocale(LC_TIME, "de_DE");

System Events:
OnLoadWebDocument

It worked! Thanks a million!!!!! kiss

Just one more thing:
How can I add some input field on my add-news page?

I’m now getting images from the manager, but I want to put the URL directly when I write some news...

I worked it out in dateFilter.extender in the meantime, but thanks for the hint wink
