What happens when you click on the link? Can you copy the output Ditto generates and paste it here? Thanks.

nothing happens, the page changes to index.php?id=20 (example), but i still see my three posts summarized ( just like i see them on the normal index )

I believe that may be a problem with your install of MODx and not Ditto. Either way, the only way I can diagnose it further would be with access to your MODx install. If you would like me to take a look, PM me with further details.

I’ve noticed when using ditto that clicking on the page > 1 2 3 next below the summaries don’t work, they redirect to site index, it worked with newsletter snippet though but for some reason not with ditto is there any new items that need to be added for ditto ?

[!Ditto? &startID=`26` &tpl=`NewsListingTemplate` &sortdir=`asc` &summarize=`3` &paginate=`1` &alwaysshow=`1`!]

Showing [+start+] - [+stop+] of [+total+] Articles
[+previous+] [+pages+] [+next+]

Please check the parameter list that came with the download as it contains all of the changes. The pagination link code did not change between NewsListing (not newsletter) and Ditto.

Mark, thanks for the update... works as advertised!

I did have to remove the stray ’<?php ’ from the beginning of the snippet though, otherwise modX complained with a parse error (unexpected ’<’ found).

Cheers,
Ulrich

Hi

Im using the Modx cms system for the first time and its great...well done guys

Im having a bit of a problem installing Ditto though?
What I am trying to do is creat a news/news archive page and if my understanding is correct, ditto is what I want to be using?

So far I have;

>>> copied what is in snippet.ditto.php to a new snippet and called it DItto.
>>> copied the assets/snippets/ditto folder and its contents into assets/snippets on the server
>>> inserted [[Ditto? &tpl=`DittoTemplate` &startID=`2` &summarize=`3` &commentsChunk=`FormBlogComments`]] in my news page where I want it to appear.
This now results in me gettingthe following message where my news will go;
&tpl is blank or you have a typo in the chunk name, please check it.

Im not too hot with php as you can probably see by the fact im stuck!
Ive gone through the documentation but I cant find an idiots install guide anywhere.
Could anyone help me out? undecided

cheers

mac

Hi,

to manage the ditto output, you need to create a chunk (&tpl param) which looks something like this.

<div>
<h3>[+longtitle+]</h3>
<p>[+summary+]</p>
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">More on this story</a>
</div>

Where the [+placeholders+] will be parsed by diito and replaced with values.

Hi

Thanks for your help. I still dont really get where you would enter the actual news information though?

If anyone would like to take a look at my actual site and code, if you message me I will set you up a user/pass to access the admin.

Cheers
