Ditto Reflect Help

Trying to setup a "wordpress" archive setup.

Follow the directions from the site and works great. I am trying to pull from 2 categories.

[!Reflect?config=`wordpress` &targetID=`35` &getDocuments=`1` &dittoSnippetParameters=`parents:29,parents:30` &id=`wp`!]

[+wp_month+] [+wp_day+] [+wp_year+]

[!Ditto? &id=`wp` &extenders=`dateFilter` &parents=`29,30`!]

The strange part: I am getting an "October 2005" with no documents found. I have no documents published at that time either any help would be greatly appreciated.

I’m not sure this has something to do with your problem, but ...



This should be

you know what’s even funnier is that I tried parents:29|30 with a pipe and all sorts of combination’s. And thought that I did that one also, but most have forgotten to hit save.

Worked great! I have seen users using &startID - what’s the difference? Specifically trying to pull from different areas.

Thank you!

There’s no difference. &startID is replaced by &parents.

didnt know if you could help me out with another reflect question. I wanted to make a tpl parameter so that I can customize the look, not fond of the default. I tried tplContainer but it didn’t do anything. thanks ryan

About Reflect parameters, see here -> http://ditto.modxcms.com/files/snippet-reflect-php.html
I think you’d use &tplMonth or something...

thanks for the directions, after thinking about it. It finally popped in my head. I needed to modify the ditto call not the reflect.
That way I had full control over how the archives display. Thank you again for the help.
