    Hello,

    I’m trying to get ditto working on a site, but keep running into several issues.

    1. It dosn’t seam to show new instant posts until I clear the site cache (the display page isn’t cached) that or it’s not instant and i’m just impacient..

    2. On the main blog page the output is getting cut off... I want to show the entire post.

    [[Ditto? &startID=`2` &summarize=`5` &tpl=`ditto_blog` &paginate=`1` &extenders=`summary,dateFilter`]]


    3. The content editor (I think it’s tinymce...) is really messed up to the point you wonder what the heck it is. The buttons are at the bottom, the box dosn’t all show, and it seams to be larger than it’s set size... Should be ~400px high from what I can tell, but it’s over 800 as I gota scroll to see the bottom.

    I’m having another problem, but I will save that for later as I think it’s just a template issue that I need to resolve...

    Anyways, any suggestions on how to fix the above problems are very welcome!

    Thanks

      1. How are you posting? If you are using NewsPublisher you will need to use its clearcache parameter.
      2. The summary extender is what is truncating the posts. Remove the summary extender call and swap [+summary+] for [+content+] in your ditto_blog chunk.
      3. What browser are you using?

        Hello,

        I’m modifying the sample site as it already has a functional code base so I guess it’s using newspublisher... I will check into it later today and see if the clearcache parameter is set or not.

        2. Thanks I will give that a shot when I check the above.

        3. Firefox 2

        Thanks
