    I’ve got a TV setup called MyTags with input type as text and widget as a deliminated list with the delimiter set as a , and a space.

    I have entered some tags in my news articles that are held in a container. the DocID of which is 2.

    My ditto call in ID 2 is:
    [!Ditto? &parents=`2` &summarize=`10` &total=`20` &commentsChunk=`CommentsBlog` &tpl=`BlogTemplate` &tagDelimiter=`, ` &tagData=`MyTags` !]


    My tags display correctly in the list of news articles, and work fine when clicked on.

    Now at the bottom of my page I want a list of just tags, nothing else. For this I have the following ditto call;

    [! Ditto? &startID=`2`   &summarize=`10` &total=`20`  &tagData=`MyTags`  &tagDelimiter=`, ` &tpl=`tagnav`    !]


    However nothing is shown at all as a result fo this call.

    Its driving me insane now.

      If you have two ditto calls on the same page, you probably need to give each an &id parameter, to keep their output separate.

        I don’t think your second ditto call is correct and I don’t think ditto can do what you need in the second call but I might be mistaking.

        Maybe you need to build a custom snippet that takes all the tags and displays them separately.

          I had everything working fine, then I had to restore an old backup that was pre-tags.

          Now i just can’t get it function as I like.

          I’ve never had an issue with them before so i’m presuming i’ve just done something stupid, because i’ve been staring at it for too much - lol

            Is it because your second Ditto call uses &startID? Ditto 2.0 replaced &startID with &parents

              Doesn’t seem to work, i’m just not getting any tags showup at all.

              They show on my news page (ID2) where they are called in a template along with a short summary of the story but they will not show in alist at the bottom of my page.

              [! Ditto? &parents=`2`   &summarize=`10` &total=`20`  &tagData=`MyTags`  &tagDelimiter=`, ` &tpl=`tagnav`    !]


              here is the template ’tagnav’

                Try removing the space at the start of the snippet call.
                [! Ditto?
