  normally a chunk looks like this:
  

       <li >
           <h2><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+pagetitle+]</a></h2>
      </li>
  

  
  
  I need a chunk like this:
  

       <li >
  	<ul>
              [[Ditto?  &tpl=`categoryContentInner`  ]] 
  	</ul>
      </li>
  

  
  
  and in categoryContentInner chunk I put
  

   <li >
           <h2><a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+pagetitle+]</a></h2>
      </li>
  

  
  
  I followed the wayfinder roule.. but it seems it doesn’t work in ditto.. or I don’t know how to use it!
  
  Thanks

  Try this:
  

  [!Ditto?  &tpl=`categoryContentInner`!]

  still the "&tpl either does not contain any placeholders or is an invalid chunk name, code block, or filename. Please check it." error appears

  I think you need the &parents=`` parameter.
  

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

  
  Where 2 is the id of a resource that contain children resources.
  
  What do you want to do exactly with ditto? What’s your website structure?

  I found what the error was.
  
  I put a placeholder in this code
  

      <li >
          [+whatever+]
  	<ul>
              [[Ditto?  &tpl=`categoryContentInner`  ]] 
  	</ul>
      </li>
  

  
  and now it works.
  Thanks !!
