Hi,

here is my ditto call:

[[Ditto? &startID=`5` &summarize=`5` &displayArchive=`0` &tplAltRows=`newsSumAlt` &removeChunk=`FormBlogComments` &tpl=`newsSum` &paginate=`0` &trunc=`1` &truncLen=`200` &dateFormat=`%d %b, %Y` ]]

and my template:

<div class="newsRow">
<a  class="title" href="[~[+id+]~]" title="View post">[+title+]</a>
<div class="thumb"><img src=[+tvThumb+]' alt="#" /></div>
<p>
  [+summary+]... [ <a class="read" href="[~[+id+]~]" title="Read more about [+title+]">More </a> ]
</p>
</div>

The tv is a simple image. I am trying to have a thumbnail next to each news item.

many thanks,
G

<div class="thumb"><img src=[+tvThumb+]' alt="#" /></div>

Missing ’ in front of the TV.

1. Sure the document has a filled out TV? What does it look like?
2. The template of the ditto document has this TV, too?
3. Do you have a standard value for this image?
4. which version of ditto?

2. not sure what you mean, the ditto template is a chunk.

I mean the template where ditto is called. Is it another (site) template, where the TV isn´t assigned to? But I don´t think that´s the problem.

What kind of TV is it? Type Image or plein text?

3. i dont have a standard value

For testing purposes: Try to fill in "assets/images/trees.jpg" as a standard value.
