    It’s late and I’m doing this from memory so it may not be exactly right, but you need to use

    &extenders=`summary` in the Ditto Call

    I think the problem with your images is the links to them. Make them like this:

    <img src=[(base_url)]path/to/image>


    Hope this works . . . I’m going to get some sleep. It’s 4:30 am here. smiley

            I think I know what you are doing.

            In this case a working example would be great, no? A full tutorial that builds one step at a time with images perhaps? I love tutorials that are explained well.

            You are in luck. Check out Shane’s brilliant post here:

            Good luck!
