    Hi

    I wondered if someone can point me in the right direction on how to populate a chunk with information from a specific resource/document. Essentially I am trying to create panel that indicates when the next meeting is, it will show some of the description (upto 500 chars) and a date which is a template variable on the document.

    I’m sure it’s really simple but I cant seem to work it out!

    Cheers

      Ditto would be your best bet:

        I’m actually currently using Ditto to populate two sections of the website plus another side panel which aggregates the news item headers. Had a mental block and didnt realise I could show a specific element...doh!

        Loving ditto...so powerful. I thank the Modx community!
