YAMS & TV's

Currently im using the following Ditto Call



This pulls through everything other than the HolidayCost tv that I have created as multilingual TV’s. "HolidayCost_en" & "HolidayCost_es"

Can anyone tell me why the following code (in my holidaysTPL chunk) doesn’t work? Am I doing something completely wrong?



Im following the setup guide http://rtfm.modx.com/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=13205618

Thanks

*BUMP*

I guess what I want to ultimately do is call in a chunk.

I have two TV’s "HolidayCost_en" & "HolidayCost_es"

I can call them individually by referencing them in the chunk but I obviously need to make it dynamic and use

What am I missing guys?

Thanks

You don’t. YAMS automatically fetches the correct one for the language being used. Just use the TV name as you normally would, [+HolidayCost+]. You would only use the yams_id prefix for placeholders in the main page outside of the Ditto chunk tpl, such as for the pagination placholders.

Hi Susan

Thanks for replying, as always!

I had tried this (and indeed have tried again since your reply) but nothing gets displayed?

If I hardcode in [+HolidayCost_en+] the english version appears fine or likewise with the spanish version [+HolidayCost_es+] but this is useless when switching language in the front end?

Does this make sense to you? Any other ideas?

Maybe try [+HolidayCost_(yams_id)+] ?

Yeah, tried all these cominations

Actaually [+HolidayCost_(yams_id)+] made more sense to me and I thought that would solve my problems but its not to be the case...

WTF?

If I put in [*HolidayCost_(yams_id)*] into the actual template it works fine...

Why will it not work from within a chunk tpl? Where I need it to work....

Man its so frustrating?

Further observations...

Using [[YAMS? &get=`text` &from=`HolidayCost`]] returns the TV name "HolidayCost_en" or "HolidayCost_es"

or [[YAMS? &get=`data` &from=`HolidayCost`]] returns the value I have set as the default for the TV - £0.00 or €0.00

Sorry to keep bangin’ on but what can I do to get the actual value of the TV?

Are you sure the Ditto extender is working?

Here is my ditto call



Its definitely in the directory at that location. How would I check its working?

Thanks
