Hi, i followed the recomendations for creating an RSS feed page using Ditto but there are modx tags in both the [+content+] and [+summary+] calls when viewing the rss.

The call:

[!Ditto? &startID=`2,52,51` &format=`rss` &tpl=`ditto_rss_tpl` &summarize=`20` &total=`20` &filter=`id,58,2|id,56,2|id,57,2`!]

The chunk:

<item>  
<title>[+rss_pagetitle+]</title>  
<link>[(site_url)][~[+id+]~]</link>  
<description><![CDATA[ [+summary+] ]]></description>  
<pubDate>[+rss_date+]</pubDate>  
<guid isPermaLink="false">[(site_url)][~[+id+]~]</guid>  
<dc:creator>[(site_name)]</dc:creator>  [+tagLinks+] 
</item>

I’m getting snippet tags (maxi-gallary, custom, newspublisher) in the content/summary areas.

Not sure if there is something I can do about this. Any ideas would be great!

I am still experiencing this problem without any idea of a solution. Any ditto moderators/developers have an idea?

That’s going to be troublesome as those snippets create dynamic content, likely based on accessing the specific documents. To aggregate that content, you generally don’t want the dynamic parts to be in your RSS feed, so the RSS really should only contain some (mostly) static content summarized from the source pages.
