[SOLVED] links to child docs created with ditto open unstyled

    Using Ditto 2.0.2 on MODX 0.9.6 XAMPP with FURL.

    Links of documents from within hidden containers do appear however the link returns an unstyled page.
    The Page source shows the links to the stylesheets and all. Documents (or containers) that are directly in the root of the doc tree do return a styled page. What am I missing?

    Anyway here’s my call:

    [!Ditto?parents=`2`&depth=`3`&element=`span` &tpl=`itemTpl` &hideFolders=`0` &sortBy=`pagetitle` &sortDir=`ASC` &display=`all`&tagDelimiter=`,` &tagData=`pageKeywords` &tagMode=`onlyTags` &tags=`Food` &debug=`1`!]


    I have renamed the the debug.html to xml

    update: when i change the template used by the pages/documents returned through the ditto link, it does open a styled page. I do not get through the logic here.

    SOLVED:

    I did not place the 
     <base href="[(site_url)]"/>
    on the correct place.
    I placed it after the calls to the stylesheets, changed that and all is okay.

    I must admit that I do not really understand why that does not bother Wayfinder while Ditto is affected.

        content is:

        <h3><li><a  href="[~[+id+]~]" title="[+pagetitle+]">[+pagetitle+]</a></li>[+link+]</h3>

          Why are you putting an LI inside an H3 element?

            ehhh, just took it out. To be honest knowing little about styling lists and many other things I do many things by trying not by understanding undecided (Actually I have been trying for 2 full days to figure out why the link rendered unstyled and the <li> was something I tried but forgot to delete).
