Hi there,
I can confirm that the placeholders don’t work. No time yet to look into it further.
There also seem to be quite some problems with the paths.
For instance putting the subscription form on the frontpage will throw an error.
This is because: <form action="/[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post"> has a forward slash that prevents the post action to have a valid value.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s very nice to post the code by the builder of this module, but is there anyone else who is able to pick this module up?
Really hope this will not end up like the Evo Newsletter Mailer

We didn’t know about this topic, so sorry for our (very) late reply. We will ask the MODx team to add an DitsNews forum and Bug tracker area to keep things manageable.
To get the placeholders to work, you need to add the ditsnewsPlaceholders snippet to the newsletter template: [[!ditsnewsPlaceholders?]] This changes the MODx placeholders to smarty tags. Not an ideal solution, but since placeholders get processed by MODx before we can change them it seems to be the only solution for now.
