how to make ditto include thumbnails? because im making a catalog website..and this is the last problem (i hope) i have and its ready to upload..

my chunk is like this:

<div class="latest-image">[+title+] <a href="[~[+id+]~]">
<img src="images/sampler.png" width="185" height="78" border="0" /></a>
</div>

my ditto call:

[!Ditto? &parents=`2` &tpl=`category`!]

or theres anyway? thank you..

It’s pretty simple, really. Create a Template Variable for an image. Use a place holder in your Ditto chunk to load it into the space you want.

Yes, using a TV with the input type of Image you could use this chunk

<div class="latest-image">[+title+] <a href="[~[+id+]~]">
[+imgtv+]</a>
</div>

or

<div class="latest-image">[+title+] <a href="[~[+id+]~]">
<img src="images/[+imgtv+]" width="185" height="78" border="0" /></a>
</div>

depending on whether you want to use a TV output widget or not.
