I’ve been doing a lot of searching on this, and I can’t seem to get a consistent answer that works for me, so I thought I would throw this out to the community at large.
I’ve got some documents that are categorized by document type and by product category. Those types and categories are TVs. I want to use those TVs to categorize and filter my documents, but I also want to use to those TV values to display the form drop downs and check-boxes. That way if someone decides to change the filter names or add filters, the whole thing updates nicely.
You can see the basic template (not yet functioning) here:

If I’m to believe what I’ve read so far (running Evo 1.0.3 and Ditto 2.x), I should be able to use something like this to retrieve the all the values for a specific TV:
[!Ditto? &documents=`[*ironridge_product_sub_category_roof*]` &tpl=`ironridge_prod_sub_cats` !]
Yet, this doesn’t seem to work. All I get is No Documents found. I’ve tried adding parents, making the TV the parent and seemingly every permutation.
So now my question is is this a valid way to call TVs using Ditto? It’s being called within a Chunk, which shouldn’t be a problem. And I’ve quadruple checked the spelling and it’s all correct between ditto, tv and chunks.
Any help for a new guy looking to find his way would truly be appreciated.
