How ?? show parent document and all of related child inside same page/template

Hi everybody.. i’m new here.

I try the way to make a template very basic.. no menu.. just display a parent document and all child of this document.

Somebody had one ? or help me to create one ??


Thank’s

Peter,

You’ll use Ditto to do this. http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Category:Beginners
Use the tutorial ’How to Create a Blog’. To show the parent also, just post the Ditto call below the parent content.

I dont want to create a blog..
i need just to create a basic template look like this

PARENT DOCUMENT TITLE (1)
PARENT DOCUMENT CONTENT
CHILD DOCUMENT TITLE (2)
CHILD DOCUMENT CONTENT(2)
CHILD DOCUMENT TITLE (3)
CHILD DOCUMENT CONTENT(3)
CHILD DOCUMENT TITLE (4)
CHILD DOCUMENT CONTENT(4)

ETC...

No background or anything else.. just white background and text as per WYSIWYG formated.. thats all.

Following that Tutorial will do what you want. I mis-labeled it as how to create a blog. But if you follow that tutorial, youll get what you want.

Ok..

IF we save "Access permissions" under "All Document Groups (Public)" and we click "Preview Document" ... Everything is perfect

B..U..T..

When i change "Access permissions" of one child document, under another document group ex.: "testdocument" and i click "Preview Document" we see only "All Document Groups (Public)" (child document doesnt display)

I created another user, linked to the "testdocument", and we can edit any document under this group, but cannot see document under preview document..

and, if we set all document (parent & child) under "testdocument" we obtain this error:

ERROR: Too many forward attempts!
The request could not be completed due to too many unsuccessful forward attempts.

My config :

shrunk name: tpl_main



My template: def_temp


Maybe i forgot a param inside Ditto

Could you help me ?

Well one thing. I think you may want to replace the Ditto call in your template with [*content*]. And place the Ditto call in your document number 1 (This way you can also show content from doc 1).

There is a lot of Ditto parameters here: http://www.modxcms.com/ditto_parameters.html

You said Preview Document isnt working. Is the page working though (at the frontend)?

Same problem..

system always show document with permisssion: All Document Groups (Public)
but if we change a permission on one of the child for "testdocument" (ex) this document they dont appear..


... i think this problem due to "Private" (in page data)

Status
Status: Published
Publish date: (Not set)
Un-publish date: (Not set)
Cacheable: Yes
Searchable: Yes
Menu index: 3
Show in menu: Yes
Web access: Private
Manager access: Private

Do you know to change Private, for a specific "Document Groups"

system always show document with permisssion: All Document Groups (Public)
but if we change a permission on one of the child for "testdocument" (ex) this document they dont appear..

If you are trying to include private documents in your Ditto output you need to use the hidePrivate parameter (by default it is on, set it to 0 to turn it off:

http://ditto.modxcms.com/files/snippet-ditto-php.html#hidePrivate

Once you click on the link to go to the private page if not logged in it will direct you to the Unauthorized page you determine in the site settings (in the manager). I think if no page is set it will go to the error page, not sure though.

However if you are trying to get a level aware output Wayfinder will be better than Ditto (Ditto returns a flat structure while Wayfinder returns a level- parent + child - structure). In wayfinder you would use the ignoreHidden=`TRUE` parameter to include the private documents.
