  @doze: No, not yet, but I plan on allowing that via a parameter.

  @mark: yes I am : Benoit Deziel.com - MODx 0.9.2.1 (rev 1005)
  
  Also, I have another site running MODx 0.9.2.1 (rev 1005) on the same server and Ditto is running perfectly. I copy/paste the code for Ditto from this other site but I still get this error. Maybe my MODx installation is corrupt?

  definitely sounds like a filesystem corruption... reupload the ditto stuff in the snippets folder first then the manager stuff is that doesn’t work...

  already been done...
  
  I think that ditto corrupted the filesystem, because before installing the new version, everything was fine and I haven’t install anything else recently.

  Ok, I’ll be waiting for that.. I’ll try to do some initial snippet with the available fields for now and update it when this is done. Thanks!

  When using JSON as the output format in ditto, is there a way to prevent it breaking the content field into multiple lines? If I use javascript eval() on the output, it errors saying "Unterminated string constant". But if I remove the linebreaks, it gets evaled ok.
  
  So to make it perfectly clear, currently it outputs this (what is not evaling):
  

  { "title":"test", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=39", "description":"", "language":"english", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "ttl":"120", "entries":[ { "title":"Another title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "description":"61.438767,23.730469", "content":"
  More content here
  
  ", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "author":"Built-in Administration account" }, { "title":"Some title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "description":"60.239811,25.048828", "content":"
  Content here
  
  ", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "author":"Built-in Administration account" } ] }

  
  
  and when changed to this, it evals ok:
  

  { "title":"test", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=39", "description":"", "language":"english", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "ttl":"120", "entries":[ 
  { "title":"Another title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "description":"61.438767,23.730469", "content":"More content here", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "author":"Built-in Administration account" }, 
  { "title":"Some title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "description":"60.239811,25.048828", "content":"Content here", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "author":"Built-in Administration account" } ] }

  
  
  The contents of "content" field to json comes from [+summary+] placeholder.
  
  Btw. json is missing from the documentation as possible value to &format parameter..
  
  EDIT: also, is there a reason why copyright is twice at the first block?

  I have a pet hate and that is ListRelated, is there anyway using perhaps the tag parameter to simulate the behaviour of ListRelated using ditto?
  I don’t want to tag documents at this stage, since I am utilising keywords and metatags and I think this functionality would push ditto beyond the realm of ubercool.
  
  Any ideas?

  Would you consider to allow passing template code right at the snippet call or a path to filesystem.
  
  So when using Ditto in another snippet, I would not need to have ditto’s templates allways in chuncks when I want to output in some specific format to my snippet. Could do something like:
  
  $dittoOutput = $modx->runSnippet("Ditto", array("tpl" => "<post><title>[+title+]</title><summary>[+summary+]</summary></post>"));
  
  or
  
  $dittoOutput = $modx->runSnippet("Ditto", array("tpl" => "assets/snippets/mysnippet/dittochunk.tpl"));
  
  So maybe do something like in Ditto when getting the templates from snippet parameters:
  
  

  $tpl = isset($tpl) ? $ditto->getTpl($tpl): $_lang['default_template'];
  
  function getTpl($tpl){
  	global $modx;
  	$template = "";
  	if ($modx->getChunk($tpl) != "") {
  		$template = $modx->getChunk($tpl);
  	} else if(file_exists($tpl)) {
  		$template = file_get_contents($tpl);
  	} else {
  		$template = $tpl;
  	}
  	return $template;
  }
