Hello !

I didn’t find anything on the forum.

I know the way to call the firsts 3 articles in one time : [!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`3`!]

but...

Is it possible to call the firsts 3 documents (same folder) but each separately on ditto ?

[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`FIRST DOCUMENT`!]
[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`SECOND DOCUMENT`!]
[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`THIRD DOCUMENT`!]

Thanks for your help !

Mehdi

Not sure about this, could it be?:

Parameters: start

Purpose: Number of documents to skip in the results

Options: Any number

Default: 0

This is from the Ditto documentation

Or, maybe PHx could do this? Just thinking aloud

You could do as kongondo mentioned:

[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`1` &start=`1`!]
[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`1` &start=`2`!]
[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &parents=`41` &display=`1` &start=`3`!]

You could also simply use the &document paramater to select a specific document:

[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &documents=`41` &display=`1`!]
[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &documents=`42` &display=`1`!]
[!Ditto? &tpl=`your_tpl` &documents=`43` &display=`1`!]
