Hi,

following problems: I’m writing on a Newsblogsystem made with Ditto and NewsManager. My reference tutorial is http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Basic_Blog but when I want to request my pages to write an article or display newest articles on frontpage nothing is displayed - I think sth. is wrong with my Ditto/NewsManager snippet request:

[! NewsPublisher? &folder=`12` &canpost=`Newsschreiber,Newspublisher` &makefolder=`1` &formtpl=`BlogForm` &template=`DittoTemplate` &rtcontent=`tvblogContent`!]

that’s the request for the page to write articles.

and that’s to display newest articles on a page:

[[ Ditto? startId=`12` &summarize=`15` &tpl=`DittoTemplate` &paginate=`1` &sortBy=`pub_date` &sortDir=`DESC` &trunc=`1` &truncLen=`300` &truncText=`weiterlesen...` ]]

zeige [+start+] - [+stop+] von [+total+] Artikeln
[+previous+] [+pages+] [+next+]

Can anyone help me please? Of course I’m new to MODx and it would be useful to get tricks and help for this.

I have marked with capital "X" places in your code where there are mistakes.
You have unwanted space character before "Ditto" and "NewsPublisher" names in snippet’s calls -- these spaces are treated as a part of snippet’s names. Also you have missed ampersand character before "startId" parameter.

[!XNewsPublisher? &folder=`12` &canpost=`Newsschreiber,Newspublisher` &makefolder=`1` &formtpl=`BlogForm` &template=`DittoTemplate` &rtcontent=`tvblogContent`!]

[[XDitto? XstartId=`12` &summarize=`15` &tpl=`DittoTemplate` &paginate=`1` &sortBy=`pub_date` &sortDir=`DESC` &trunc=`1` &truncLen=`300` &truncText=`weiterlesen...` ]]

Already doesn’t work. No template and nothing else but a white page is displayed when requesting this page.
huh
