Hi!
I’m news to MODx and I’m very impressed of the things you can do with it. At the moment I’m playing around and try to understand the things I copy and paste on my playground system
I have an Evolution 1.0.3 installed and try to achive a News section with a view per month. Structure is like this:
- News [5]
- News_entry_1
- News_entry_2
- ...
The page itsself is parted in a main and a sidebar. I want to have the links to year and month in the sidebar on any page below News and News itsself.
Therefore I have a Template for these pages with this Reflect call in the sidebar:
[!Reflect? &config=`wordpress` &dittoSnippetParameters=`parents:5` &id=`wp` &getDocuments=`1` &targetIdD=`5`!]
Situation is now, that I have the month of the post in the sidebar in every News_entry_* page
but nothing on the News page itsself.
Solved that myself - wrong template.
On the News page I wanna have the summaries of all News_entry pages, within the month selected on the sidebar, if selected. The summary seems to work with this Ditto call:
[[Ditto? &parents=`5` &display=`5` &removeChunk=`Comments` &tpl=`story_summary` &paginate=`1` &extenders=`summary,dateFilter` &tagData=`documentTags` &dateFormat=`%d.%m.%Y` &sortBy=`pub_date` &dateSource=`pub_date` &id=`ditto`]]
I have read a lot of posts and documentation, but couldn’t figure that out.
What do I wrong? What would be the right approach?
As a bonus question: what Ditto version does the documentation of
http://ditto.modxcms.com match? It says 2.1.0, and in Evolution 1.0.3 there is 2.1.0 installed. But, as an example, when I change dittoSnippetParameters to params, Ditto doesn’t work at all anymore..
Edit Ok, found more mistakes:
- I had to call Ditto uncached
- I had to synchronize the &id between Ditto and Reflect
[li]
&dittoSnippetParameters=`parents:5`
has to be extended to
&dittoSnippetParameters=`parents:5|dateSource:pub_date`
With these I have the Archive with month view and Ditto is displaying the correct content.
Still unsolved:
- Archive in sidebar of the News_entry pages links to themselves and not to News [5]
- Now that I call Ditto uncached, an call of
in summary isn’t expanded anymore. [/li]
Edit2:
&targetIdD should have been &targetID >:(
easy2 call has to be "cached" as the syntax must alternate between [! and [[
