FeedX and Ditto play nice together?

I use FeedX to bring blog posting titles and links into our home page. And I use Ditto to produce our outgoing RSS feed.

The Ditto product does not currently show the updates in the imported blog titles. How can I convince it to do so?

I dont understand exactly what you have in place, but I would like to know if you are using cached or un-cached calls. eg. [[Ditto?...]] or [!Ditto?...!]

Hi, thanks for the response.

Client runs a WordPress blog and we show the titles and links for the blog posts on the web site home page, using the following code:

[!FeedX? &url=`http://www.xxx.org/blog/feed/` &maxElements=`ITEM(5)` &preset=`rss` &cacheTime=`3600`!]

The site also uses Ditto to produce its own outgoing RSS feed, as follows:

[[Ditto? &parents=`0` &format=`rss` &display=`10` &total=`10` &showInMenuOnly=`1` &depth=`0` &removeChunk=`Comments` &filter=`id,77,2` ]]

If the Feedx content is on a page that Ditto then summarizes you could try the caching the other way round.

That way the Feedx content is parsed before Ditto gets to work.

No joy with those changes.

In swapping the 1-bracket vs. 2-bracket entries, both Ditto and FeedX independently failed.

Any other things I can try?

If I understand correctly, you are displaying your wordpress rss on a single page inside MODx. While outgoing rss using Ditto, you need multiple resources/pages in place. Since Feedx is *just* displaying the rss on the page, it does not actually create documents. So, Ditto cannot see/process Feedx output same as normal page/containers.

In short, without some custom coding you cannot have Feedx output injected inside outgoing Ditto based feed.

Hope this helps.

I wondered if Ditto would use the site cache, seems as though the answer is no.
