[Solved] article list with image

Hi,

Probably this was asked before but I could not find anything on it

In the front page I would like to display a list of articles but not only the title(linked to the content) and intro text but also a small image

what I have done so far is use ditto on a container

template for ditto
<div class="newsItem">
HERE SHOULD BE THE IMAGE
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+#title+]</a>
<p>[+#introtext+]</p>
</div>

and [!Ditto? &depth=`1` &parents=`12` &tpl=`NR`!] in template

How can I make the template get an image and in the same time let the user update the image.

Thank you

Use a TV for the image. Ditto will set a placeholder for the TV value, and you can use it in your template chunk.

hmm I tried that
used [*name*] but did not work

I will try again

try [+name+], since you’re using a placeholder that Ditto automatically creates for every TV for the documents. You should probably make it more specific, like "ni_image_name" or something, so you won’t risk collisions with any values already set.

Thx, it worked.

It worked but the results look messy because of quickedit.
So I tried using the html tags for quick edit but it does not work

<div class="newsItem">
<quickedit:img_news/>
<quickedit:title/>
<quickedit:introtext/>
[+img_news+]
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

It seems that quickedit in html mode does not know from were to take img_news, etc

Now I am trying to use the Quick Edit Custom Links but there is something wrong.
http://www.modxcms.com/quickedit.html#how-links (the example needs an a <a href not < href)

<div class="newsItem">
<a href="index.php?a=112&id=4&doc=[+id+]&var=img_news" target="_blank">Edit</a>
<a href="index.php?a=112&id=4&doc=[+id+]&var=title" target="_blank">Edit</a>
<a href="index.php?a=112&id=4&doc=[+id+]&var=introtext" target="_blank">Edit</a>
[+img_news+]
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

I think there is something wrong with the ID and A parameters.
I got the id from ManageResources/Plugins rolled over QuickEdit and saw id=4 and a=102
When I click on edit I go to index.php?a=102&id=4&doc=15&var=img_news which is correct but I get the HOME page.

I think I do not have the right ID and A variables.
Can someone explain how to get them and what A represents?

THx

Its a "[QuickEdit module id]" .. not plugin ID.

Thx zi

It seems that the id is 2(taken from MySite/Modules or from one of the quickedit popups)

But every time I try to click on the links I get sent to the error page.

<div class="newsItem">
<a href="index.php?a=112&id=2&doc=[+id+]&var=img_news" target="_blank">Edit</a>
<a href="index.php?a=112&id=2&doc=[+id+]&var=title" target="_blank">Edit</a>
<a href="index.php?a=112&id=2&doc=[+id+]&var=introtext" target="_blank">Edit</a>
[+img_news+]
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

Am I missing something?

SOLVED

<div class="newsItem">
<a href="manager/index.php?a=112&id=2&doc=[+id+]&var=img_news" target="_blank">Edit</a>
<a href="manager/index.php?a=112&id=2&doc=[+id+]&var=title" target="_blank">Edit</a>
<a href="manager/index.php?a=112&id=2&doc=[+id+]&var=introtext" target="_blank">Edit</a>
[+img_news+]
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+title+]</a>
<p>[+introtext+]</p>
</div>

I had to put manager/ in front of the link. Maybe someone can correct on the http://modxcms.com/quickedit.html

Thanks for the correction xpix. I updated the page.

regards.
