Call issues

i used standard ditto implementation as follow:
[[Ditto? &tpl=`DittoTemplate` &startID=`2` &summarize=`3` &commentsChunk=`FormBlogComments`]]
and it came out that "&tpl is blank or you have a typo in the chunk name, please check it".
I tried the default template. Any ideas?

Are you saying that this call fails as well?

[[Ditto? &startID=`2` &summarize=`3` &commentsChunk=`FormBlogComments`]]

well yes...it says:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

In some ditto version, that parse error appeared if there was no documents to return, but that has been fixed. Is this the case?

Hey All, (Again)

Seems i must be a total numpty when it comes to ditto, but i am having problems at the moment, and they are confusing.

I am currently running 0.9.5 RC3, but have previously used 0.9.2 and had similar problems.

I call ditto in a template variable called Sidebar (allows for different sidebar content lol) using the following call (tried a custom one this is a variation of the default.



I have a chunk called "DittoTemplate" with the following contents (Direct rip from the basic, as i was running out of ideas)



Now in the sidebar the only error i always get is "&tpl is blank or you have a typo in the chunk name, please check it.", but i have checked over and over, and there is not a typo in the chunkname etc. I have had trouble with this for some time.

the site is at the moment on http://sandbox.alan-graham.co.uk/

I am really confused as it should work, unless i am making a simple mistake.

the 0.9.5RC3 is a clean install for development at the moment, and i am unsure as to why it wont work. For a while i had similar issues on RC2 and some reason it just started work.


Thanks for the help, i didnt bother starting a new topic as it is just a fork of this.

btw: i do have a page underneath the start id page so it cant be that (or can it)

   Judging by the code you pasted into this thread, you are using single quotes ( ’ ) instead of backticks ( ` ) {usually above the tab key on a standard keyboard}.

   By typing &tpl=’DittoTemplate’ (using single quotes), You are telling Ditto to look for a chunk called {{’DittoTemplate’}} instead of {{DittoTemplate}} which probably doesn’t exist... which is why Ditto is throwing that error at you

is this the case, or just a typo in your forum posting? If it is the case, you must use backtics `.  And you don’t need to feel like a "Numpty"! This is a very common mistake.

Ok then seems a slight mistake, that would be why then, seems the " ` " are important. Thanks for that. Solves all my problems. It seems it is, might have to put a quick comment in the top of ditto to remind us all.

Thanks again Scotty, and well it has been anoying me for some time, well now i know what the problem is.
