Ditto Call
[[Ditto? &startID=`133` &dateFormat=`%b %d` &dateSource=`pub_date` &summarize=`5` &total=`5` &hideFolders=`1`&tpl=`podcast_tpl`&sortBy=`pub_date` debug=`1`]]
Ditto TPL
[+date+] returns 1969
[+pub_date+] returns a valid timestamp
How I got here?
I upgraded the modx install, this all used to work fine.
I then got an error for my event listing page, a full blown MODx parse error. Turns out the ditto class was looking for a string, but was getting an array from the $timestamp variable in ditto.class.inc.php
on line 294 we change $placeholders[’date’] = strftime($dateFormat,$timestamp); to $placeholders[’date’] = strftime($dateFormat,$timestamp[1]); notice the [1]. this fixed my event listing, however the event listing used a TV for the date, my podcast solution uses pub_date.
Anyone have any ideas?

Shawn,
What version of Ditto are you using? AFAIK you should be using &parents instead of &startId in the current versions. I don’t know if this is the issue but it might be worth trying.

I’m using 2.1 and changed startID to parents, no dice.. when I run the debugger it shows the pub_date as a valid timestamp

Didn’t someone create a snippet a year or two ago to address this issue with newspublisher? I have been trying to find the link as I have noticed this issue on some of my sites.
It appears to be a problem with the 9.6.3 upgrade .. I took a fresh install of the ditto snippet, resource files and the copy/paste snippet and it appears to be working now. I also did the same for reflect for good measure.
I’m having this problem too. What is the copy/paste snippet?
I just replaced ditto and reflect and it did absolutely nothing.
Are you using cached form [[...]] for Ditto snippet call ?
What happens when you use uncached form [!...!] ?
