    Hi everyone,

    I’m having an issue with ditto not displaying random items with pagination. It displays the 1st page no problem. if i refresh it randomises and displays the new items BUT
    if i click on the pagination link i.e. go to page 2 then the listings arent displayed. when i run ditto with debug on, I can see the correct retrieved data but
    it isnt displayed.

    I’m running MODx v0.9.6.1 with ditto 2.1 on a linux server running php 5.2.3

    any help/ideas would be seriously appreciated!

    ok so heres part of page template (the page which uses this template has caching turned off)

    [color=blue]  <div id="content">
    	<h1>[*pagetitle*]</h1>
    	[*content_header_image*]
    	<h2>[*longtitle*]</h2>
    	[*content*]
    
    	{{basic_index_pagination}}
    	[b][[[/b]Ditto? &tpl=`member_index_item` &display=`5` &paginate=`1` &randomize=`1` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1` &depth=`1` &sortBy=`pagetitle` &sortDir=`asc` &hiddenFields=`member_site`[b]]][/b]
    	{{basic_index_pagination}}
      </div>[/color]
    



    the chunk called basic_index_pagination contains the following code:

    [color=blue]
    <div class="pagination">
     <p>
        Results page <strong>[+currentPage+]</strong> of <strong>[+totalPages+]</strong>, showing articles <strong>[+start+]</strong> - <strong>[+stop+]</strong> of <strong>[+total+]</strong>.
      </p>
    	<p class="pagination_links">[+previous+] | [+next+]</p>
    </div>[/color]
    



    the chunk that is called by ditto (member_index_item) contains the following:

    [color=blue]
    <div class="index_item">
     <div style="float:left;width:418px;margin-left:10px;">
       <h4>
         <a href="index.php?id=[+id+]">[+pagetitle+]</a>
       </h4>
       <p>[+introtext+] - <a href="index.php?id=[+id+]">More information...</a></p>
     </div>
    </div>
    <div style="clear:both"></div>
    [/color]

        hi there

        sorry only saw this post now smiley

        I abandoned using ditto for this and ended up coding a custom solution.
