    Hi all,

    I have been trying to get ditto to display a Blog on my site. I am VERY close to getting it looking how I want it too. Just not quite there, I have read through the documentation several times but I just cannot get it to work.

    Would it be possible for somebody to login to my site and take a look of anything I might have done wrong, I can show examples of exactly how I would like it to look.

    This thing is stopping me from finishing my site, would REALLY appreciate any help.

    Look forward to hearing fro anybody.

    Lee

        Sure mate, just read it back, didn’t give too much away...

        Ok, I am having problems trying to create a categories menu, where people can navigate to the categories in my Blog, would it be ok to PM you what I have so far, or would you prefer I post here?

        Thank,
        Lee

              Typing my problem out made me think about it more, I have fixed a couple of issues, the main thing I can’t sort out is displaying my Blog categories as a menu for people to navigate to the different tags, as implemented here: http://www.scottydelicious.com/

              I have followed the guide here:

              http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Tagged_blogging_with_Ditto

              And I would like to know how I can retrieve the tags in a menu and style them.

              Thanks, sorry for being a pain in the arse smiley

                  If you have followed the tutorial you mentionned and created the Category Pages
                  You can easily create your menu with wayfinder as each Category Pages has the name of the tag and contains the ditto call with the tags value

                    Thanks, I thought it would be a call from ditto, no problems I will try that.

                    Thanks
