Handling checkboxes with Ditto and TV

I’ve got a ditto call from a page, looking up a collection of pages from a different section in modx (the results are from a different parent)

I’m looking up values based on checkboxes which are generated based on those very pages.
My tv name is ’cases’
The value type is checkbox
and the input values are:


This tv is available to the the these pages.

The page that loads these pages should filter out this collection based on what pages have ’this’ value applied to them.

So page id 2 would make a ditto call:


The problem is, if the page to be loaded has only a single check checked, then it returns fine, but if there are multiple values chosen, none are returned.
How can I work this so I can apply multiple values with a checkbox (so a page can fall into multiple categories)

I’ve attached a screen of the modx pages for clarity.

Thank you
Rich

did you choose:
Widget: Delimited List
Delimiter: ,

for your TV?

then use &tagDelimiter=`,` without blank

No but, Ooooh!
Nice!

That did what I needed!
Thanks Bruno.

Hi Richtestani,

I followed what you were doing and thanks for sharing this. One question, is that Ditto call as written to be on your Page id 2 or id 8? Since the parameter is &tags=`construction_accidents` and construction_accidents is page id 8 I would have thought this call was on Page id 8. Or am I missing something?

Hey TMcleroy,

I actually am using the [*alias*] variable as opposed to a string.

Here is the Ditto snippet:


This particular set I am outputting on subpages of id: 2, because within this site I only wanted to show cases about the page they were on (which the above filters).
Hope this helps.

Hi Rich, Thank you for explaining....I am about 90% there. The reason I asked some of the question was on your first post the &tags=`construction_accidents` but on this last ditto the &tags=`[*alias*]` So that was some of the basis of the question.

This is very clever. And I really appreciate your attaching the screen shots.

If I understand correctly, this last Ditto is on Resource ID 2. Is this Ditto producing the content in this container? Children of ID 2.

This example is very timely as I am doing something similar with textile companies that produce types of fabric in multiple area; i.e. technical, performance, apparel, home, etc. Some companies produce across areas. I have wanted to tag these thus so, however, I am still struggling with the shear number of companies and types of fabric.
