    Is this a bug or a know issue?

    I have Ditto calling a chunk like so.

    [[Ditto? &startID=`[[*id]]` &tpl=`product_summary` &sortBy=`menuindex` &sortDir=`ASC`]]



    Chunk code

    <div class="single-product">
<a href="[[~ [[+id]] ]]"><h2>[[+longtitle]]</h2></a>
<a href="[[~ [[+id]] ]]"><img src=" [[*product-image]] " alt=" [[*image-alt]] "/></a>
[[*product-description]]
</div>


    The longtitle variable is being output but the TVs are not.
    Any suggestions?


    Thank you in advance.
    Mike

      Ditto is deprecated and not supported for Revolution. getResources is the replacement and most of the parameters are the same.

      You would want to use [[+tv-name]] and you’d need to either prefix the TVs with "tv." or use &tvPrefix=``
      You also need &includeTVs=`1`
