Hey, I seem to be having a couple problems with Ditto.
First, I’m trying to display articles using the following code:
[[Ditto? &tpl=`DittoTemplate` &startID=`11` &summarize=`10` &sortDir=`DESC` &displayArchive=`1` ]]
However, it isn’t displaying the articles in descending order, rather in ascending.
Also, the archive is outputting way too many articles. Is it possible to limit the number of articles to 5, with a link to a full archive page??
Thanks in advance,
Mike
Yes, it is possible to control the number of articles retrieved by using the &total paramater (just to summarize+number in the archive to get the # you want).
For sorting, Ditto defaults to DESC sorting so you should not need to set that.
Ok, is it possible to have a link for all of the archives for that Id?
Sorry, I guess I wasn’t clear: I want to be able to show, say 3 "archived" articles in the archive under my news and then have a link that says "View full Archive" that goes to a page that lists all archived articles. Is that possible?
Yes, create a page called Archive and then put the same call you are using now but set summarize to 0 and start to whatever you were using for total. Then just link to that page under that Ditto call.
