    Actually, I agree with you. The part of my comment you didn’t see, which was still in my head, was that the community should get more involved and help write the documentation and answer questions rather than put the total burden on the main developer (kinda like a scaled-down model of what’s happened to MODx... people got involved).

      I finished this up late last night but was too tired to post. The development version (download: http://www.modxcms.com/ditto_download.html) now contains a compatibility config file which should map the old Ditto 1.0.2 parameters to their new counterparts. Please test it and post feedback (in a new thread please smiley )


      Also, I updated http://mirror3.cvsdude.com/trac/ditto/codebase/wiki/Upgrade with a list of changed and removed parameters. Enjoy!

        Mark, you’ve heard this before, but... YOU ROCK!!!

        I didn’t mean to guilt you into doing this, BTW. wink

          Great stuff Mark laugh

          I’m still a bit fuzzy on the wording for step 4 ... can you help me to understand a bit better so I can offer some potential alternative text? Keep it up my man! laugh

            You upgrade guide that you loos like just what the Dr. ordered. If we could stick it on the wiki and all contribute to it it would be fantastic. One of the most difficult taks in an aopen source project is keeping track of all the updates dates and rev #s - especially without a CVS.

              hi,

              i downloaded the trunk, updated the snippet code, added &config=compatibility to the news.call and then i am getting that: "/assets/snippets/ditto/configs/compatibility.config.php does not exist. Please check the file."

              it would be cool to have an example ditto2 setup template like version 1 had.

                Without CVS? You have public SVN access to the Ditto development repository...


                @slackstar: You need to udate the files as well. What do you mean setup template? Do you mean default template? If so, DItto 2 still has one...

                    The [+introtext+] doesn’t work for me...

                    My call is
                    [[Ditto? &parents=`1` &summarize=`3` &total=`20` &trunc=`1` &truncText=`mehr...` &dateFormat=`%d.%m.%y` &tpl=`nl_blog` &paginate=`1`]]


                    and the tpl is:
                    <div>
                    <p  class="bold">[+date+]: <a href="[~[+id+]~]" title="[+title+]">[+title+]</a></p>
                      <p>[+introtext+]...</p>
                      <p>[+link+]</p>
                    </div>
                    <p> </p>


                    This doesn’t do anything... i can get [+summary+] to work with the legacy support, but whats the new way without that?
                      The best way to predict the future, is to invent it.

                      You have to set introtext (labled as "Summary (introtext)" for each document.
