Hi yasirhaleem,

you probably need to run the snippet via the MODx API -> http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/API:runSnippet

Hello sharkbait

thank you very much for the quick response i follow the above link but could’t get the result and i think this way i have to create multiple snippets i tried different way i replaced the "ditto" with ditto did’t work than i created snippet and call within quotes but still could’t get it working and how i will print output ?
i am using below code

<?php
if($modx->documentIdentifier == '1'){
$testimonialOutput=$modx->runSnippet(
        "news_summary",
        array(
            "tpl" => "<post><title>[+title+]</title><summary>[+summary+]</summary></post>"
        )
);
echo $testimonialOutput."snippet";

}
?>

I think, I would create a textarea-TV ’extrasection’ then in your template on the right place add [*extrasection*] and fill this TV on page 1 with your Ditto-calls.
