I’m not sure if this question would better in the Maxigallery forum. Anyways, what I need to do is pass the amount of images in a gallery to Ditto, and I cannot work out how to do it.

This is the snippet I am using in the template for the individual gallery pages:

<?php
$id = $modx->documentIdentifier;
$sql = $modx->db->query( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM modx_maxigallery WHERE gal_id = ('$id') ");
$result = mysql_result($sql,"0");
return  $result;
?>

Now when the snippet is used via ditto it is using the ID of the page that contains the ditto call and returns ’0’. What to do?

OK, got it sorted - I had to pass the ditto instance id into the snippet.

I created a new snippet called ’ditto-count-pics’:

<?php
$sql = $modx->db->query( "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM modx_maxigallery WHERE gal_id = ('$ditto_id') ");
$result = mysql_result($sql,"0");
return  $result;
?>

and this is the snippet call in my Ditto template:

[!ditto-count-pics? &ditto_id=`[+id+]`!]

I have a page, which is aggregating subpages using Ditto. Each subpage has a gallery, using maxigallery. The MaxiGallery call is in the template for this subpage. The content (only some additional text to the gallery) is edited in tinymce.

When I preview my top page, all subpages are shown, just like I want them. But the galleries are missing...

When previewin just a subpage from the manager I can edit the gallery, the pictures are shown.

What am I doing wrong?
