    Yes, the tags for the output of the BlogCategories TV are comma separated. Again, for testing purposes I created the TV as a plain textbox and entered the tags manually instead of using a listmenu. Right now the installation I’m using to test this is on a local computer so...err...can’t login to it right now. I’ll see if I can place it up on the server it’s going to eventually be on.

        Just so everyone knows, the issue was that you need to add the TV to hiddenTVs to make it work. I will fix that in 1.0.2.

          A couple of other things I’d like to see (if they’re not already planned or in the snippet):

          1. Ability to output the tags per blog/post as links that allow filtering on a tag by tag basis via a URL parameter.
          2. Extra calls that allow for outputting a list of available tags. Very handy when you want to create a menu of available tags.
          3. Extra calls that allow for outputting available archives. Probably would be good to allow for selecting what format and order to use. I’d like to use a list of links arranged by year and month.

          This snippet has a world of possibilities. If we can get some of this stuff in then we’ll definitely have something that can compete pretty heavily with other blog apps like WordPress and whatnot.

                  my ditto is giving me painnnnnnnnn smiley

                  When I add &truncLen and &truncText it makes trouble, the text is not summarized well ( I have an img in the document ), it just shows the entire document and only ONE letter (first) of &truncText...

                  When I delete the image from my document, it works well... what do I do ?

                    The problem is that the snippet considers the image tag as characters...

                    I will see if I can figure out a way to remove the tags from the character count but in the meantime just increase the count to account for the image tag.

                      I’ve started migrating most of my newslisting snippet calls to Ditto since you resolved the multiple instance bug, but was wondering if you could add the following functionality to the snippet:


                      • Add a custom class to title link if current page is listed, similar to the "activeLink" class in the Dropmenu snippet
                      • or if a class is not possible then omit the title link and only output the title itself

                      Thanks for the excellent work!
