From the page mrhaw cited - for Ditto 2.x:

Make sure you change the deprecated parameters to their new equivalents using the following list or use &config=compatibility (if you are using the latest SVN version):
Changed:

startID => parents

ok guys, that got me a little further. Thank you! It started working when I changed "&tags" to "&articleTags" which is the actual name of the TV for those tags. It is now listing all articles in that folder and NOT pulling out the tagged article. Her is my new, half-working, call:

[!Ditto? &parents=`2` &summarize=`all` &tpl=`dittoArtpages` &tagData=`longtitle` &tagDelimiter=`, ` &articleTags=`tag-Interviews` &orderBy=`pub_date DESC` &tagMode=`onlyTags` &dateSource=`pub_date` &dateFormat=`%B %d, %Y`!]

I also tried "&articleTags=`Interviews`" and no change...

Perhaps I have conflicting parameters?

I need more guidance from the guru’s!!!

[Edit]
it was the "&tagData" that I hadn’t changed! That’s where you put the name of the tv! DUH!

Now, I just need reflect back up and running my monthly archive list. Any ideas anyone?

See I probably use wrong tags myself tongue

So I will need to clean up my calls too... wink

"&articleTags=`Interviews`

I don’t recall articleTags being a parameter. This page has the available parameters for tagging.

I think you want to use &tagData

you are right! I had changed &tagData for the different TV’s. Anyone more ideas on my reflect call? I am trying to reflect a monthly archive in a sidebar. See first post in this series for my coding. Just pretend they have the other fixed parameters. I just need the reflect call to give me back my wordpress style monthly archive and I am done!

[EDIT] RESOLVED!!... I started over with a basic [[Reflect]] call and slowly added the parameters in. Thank you to everyone that supported me on this forum topic. This is why MODx ROCKS!!
