Are you using &tagDelimiter parameter in your Ditto snippet call ?

below is what i have tried

[!Ditto? &startID=`2` &summarize=`5` &total=`20` &paginate=`1` &alwaysshow=`1` &sortBy=`createdon` &sortDir=`DESC` &trunc=`1` &truncLen=`300` &commentsChunk=`` &displayArchive=`1` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1` &descendentDepth=`1` &tagData=`tvcategory` &tagMode=`onlyTags` &tags=`8`!]

[[Ditto? &parents=`2`&tagDelimiter=`,` &summarize=`10` &tagData=`category` &tags=`8` &debug=`1` &display=`10` &paginate=`1` &tagMode=`onlyTags` ]]

please help its sucking my head

&tagDelimiter=`,`

If your category TV stores data like "8||125||126" and you don’t set any output widget, I think your tag delimiter is "||".

i have tried &tagDelimiter=`||`, but no sucess..

what else can i check, ?plz help..

Then, try setting the output widget of your category TV as ’DelimitedList’ and delimiter as ’,’ .
Use &tagDelimiter=`,` in your Ditto call in this case.

And I would use non-cached form ( [!...!] ) for the Ditto call.

Sorry, I don’t use any messenger software.

thanks it solve the problem.


but why is the output widget compulsory...no documentation on this part. can u explain..

thanks

The output widget DelimitedList separates each item by the same character so that it can be split up again by a snippet like Ditto
Also, the Ditto site features documentation that mentions using the output widget.
