  Sorry because of my post, but I can´t find the mistake:
  
  

  [!Ditto? &startID=`92` &summarize=`4`&sortDir=`ASC` &tpl=`DittoTemplate` &dateFormat=`%d %B %y` &truncText=`More` &paginate=`1` &increment=`4` &filter=`!=MPC` !]

  
  
  I want that Ditto only shows the documents containing "MPC"...

  Tutorial:
  
  1. Create a folder. Note its ID.
  
  2. Create numerous documents within this folder.
  
  3. On either a separate page or the folder insert a Ditto call like so:
  
  

  [[Ditto?startID=`IDofFolder`]]
  

  
  
  Thats it! You can use any of the parameters to alter the output to your liking. A full reference is available in the Documentation > Core Snippets > Ditto section of the MODx CMS site.
  

  
  Lol, get this. My snippet was broken, had everything bar the last line, ie

  return $output;

  . Now off to check out the various parameters. Hoping to do a blog, possibly tagged as well (with RSS feeds and the like). Thanks for the reply though, but at least I feel better knowing that I had been doing the right thing all along.

  @ur001: Tillda suggested a simple fix here for that issue http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5344.msg40314.html#msg40314.
  
  @Braininator: Glad to hear you got it working!
  
  @simon79:  First off, there is no parameter increment and second your &filter should look like this:
  
  

  &filter=`tvFilter,MPC,!=`

  Hi Mark!
  
  
  Thanks for your quick reply!
  
  I still have problems creating a tv that works! Who can tell me how to create a tv "Filter", which can be used with (in) Ditto and only outputs (used as Filter) the selected word?

  When I want to use pagination like at www.modxcms.com/blog.html where do I put the pagination placeholders (the html to format how I want the [prev, pages, next] links to look)?
  
  Thanks,

  You place them anywhere on the page where you called Ditto. This could be in the template for that page or in the document content.

  XML Parsing Error: junk after document element
  Location: {Site URL}
  Line Number 9, Column 5:    <div class="ditto_summaryPost">
  ----^

  
  
  with the Ditto call
  
  

  [[Ditto? &startID=`2` &format='rss']]

  
  
  This was done trying to get the RSS Feeds in the sample site to use Ditto rather than the old snippet. Any thoughts?

  1) Remember to use backticks!
  2) Remember that backticks are actually optional...
  
  So if you use ’ instead of `, Ditto will think you meant`’rss’` rather than `rss`.
  
  A similar call works fine for me.
  

  [[Ditto? &startID=`51` &summarize=`5` &format=`rss`]]
  No, I don't know what OpenGeek's saying half the time either.

  Cheers Paul and Mark. A simple mistake that I blame on a little thing called 1am
