Using Ditto in Revolution

I’ve spent an hour or so trying to get Ditto to work in Revolution. I installed it and I tried some sample code I found on the website but no documents are showing up. I also notice in the Ditto Wiki that there’s NO "newbie" tutorial; all the tutorials are assuming I already know the basics of Ditto when I do not. Is there some place I can learn this?

If you’re working in Revo you’re on the bleeding edge and definitely out of newbie territory. Ditto is being re-factored right now for Revo, too.

If you want some Ditto basics, I’d suggest installing the demo content with 0963, and exploring a live working version that comes with the demo content install’s blog.

Oh, ok. Actually I’m not sure if it’s just Ditto now since I created my own snippet to test and it doesn’t work either, so it seems snippets aren’t working for me right now.

Snippets should definitely work, but make sure you’ve reviewed the information at:

http://svn.modxcms.com/docs/display/revolution/MODx+Revolution

Go to the Table of Contents and read up on the changes in Revolution. This might shed some light on the problem you are having.

Here’s a quick list of the new tags. If you used the old snippet tags, nothing would work.

It’s weird because I was using the new tags but it still doesn’t work.

I had trouble with Wayfinder at first. I haven’t tried the recent versions of either Ditto or Wayfinder.

Has anyone been able to sort documents by using publishedon? Whenever I try it returns no documents.
