Brief Description:
Snippet that splits Dittos results into groups so that they can be formatted into rows/columns with CSS as required.

Hi there,

thanks for sharing!

i get an error when i try to download the snippet:

Error! For some reason, the file dittoformat.txt was not found.

I encourage all users of my DittoFormat to upgrade to the version attached to this post or to my site at http://setpro.net.pl/software/ditto-stuff#attachments (the link in repository is broken over months and it is unlikely that it will be improved in predictable future).

Recently I had to use DittoFormat in my own project and it was the first time when I was testing it myself. I have discovered several small (but painful) shortcomings -- among other things, it appeared that the snippet does not render wrapper around the last (incomplete) group correctly.

Do you have a sample of how the output looks?
Thanks...

Hey - this was exactly what I was after - shame there isn’t any native support in Ditto for this type of functionality.

Question is...

So I now have my wrapper div, outputting 3 ditto calls in a row. How do I insert a custom snippet for the last item in that row? Bit like &tplLast, but for the particular row.

Please help!

Ok - managed to solve my own problem:

Hi, last item within each row cannot be marked with the currently existing code of DittoFormat. However, with the medium-level knowledge of Ditto and PHP its code might be slightly extended in order to solve this task.
