problem with a ditto filter in an rss page

    Hello all

    I have a filter working fine in html resources for a ’Latest News’ page. To activate it, users select a tick box in a given resource and the page will appear in the ’Latest News’ page list via the latest news page ditto call - plus they also appear in a sitewide r-h column (edited there, only [+introtext+] and a thumbnail/link).

    I designate the root parent container in my latest news items ditto call - so the ditto call applies sitewide.

    The filter is this:
    &filter=`latest-news-selection,Latest News,1`

    The problem:
    I’ve tried adding the same filter to the site RSS page ditto call, but it won’t work at all. Can anyone see what is glaringly wrong with this? I can get other filters working fine in the rss page but not this one.

    Thanks in advance

      well i was rummaging and got it to work ... smiley

      Made a new tv for rss resource ditto call:
      &filter=`rss-selection,RSS Feed,1`

      also have the original filter in latest news resource ditto call:
      &filter=`latest-news-selection,Latest News,1`

      both using parent: root to draw from - working perfectly.
      Everybody happy. modx rocks wink

      Can post the whole thing if it’s of use to anyone.
