introtext is not displayed

I am using modx 1.0.4 and ditto 1.2.0 RC3
I have a ditto call for a list of references.

After one year of beeing online I had to change introtext_de and introtext_en to a richtext field.
All entries of introtext_de with entities in it are not displayed on the list.

[[YAMS? &get=`text` &from=`de::[+introtext_de+]||en::[+introtext_en+]`]]

Any idea?

hi

introtext being a tv for YAMS, you may try

[[YAMS? &get=`tv` &from=`introtext`]]

Be aware that naming a TV with the same name as a standard resource variable (pagetitle, longtitle, introtext, etc) will cause problems.

Okay, but what else can I do to solve that problem if [[YAMS? &get=`tv` &from=`introtext`]] will cause problems?

Name your TV something else. I’m not saying that in this case it will cause a problem, just that it’s a bad idea in general to use the same names. At the least, it can be confusing to the user which "introtext" is being referred to.

hi,

actually, what Susan means is that it’s not a good idea to use some "reserved" tv names for personal ones
now, if you’ve juste changed the entry type of the "native" YAMS introtext_en... this will not be a problem

hi virtualgadjo

I have changed that call now to
[[YAMS? &get=`tv` &from=`de::[+introtext_de+]||en::[+introtext_en+]`]]

but it still does not display, even the other ones that have been displayed before do not show up now.

??????

hi,

this kind of YAMS call is usually used for text, e.g


when you retreive a tv content, you normally just have to write


yams will find the right language out by itself, if not (don’t know why but let’s say it happens)

should solve the problem

hi virtualgadjo,

I have tried all three versions but none of them works. I am using a single chunk for both languages.
If I use no content of introtext is displayed

If I use it displays e.g. introtext_de_de but no content of introtext.

if I use it only displays introtext_de_de but no content of introtext

if I use it only displays introtext_de but no content of introtext.

if I use it displays no content of introtext.

Only works but does not display if a entity is in the content of introtext


just to complete my explanations my call to that list is
[[tvExplorer? &dittoName=`Ditto` &formTPL=`RefSearch` &dittoSnippetParameters=`tpl:ReferenzenListe|debug:0|paginate:1|depth:4|parents:5|display:20|dateSource:Referenzdatum|showPublishedOnly:1|sortBy:Referenzdatum|sortDir:DESC`]]

Hi,

ow sorry, i hadn’t understood this formerly, i thought you were using that yams call in a template or in a simple content, not in a chunk you’re parsing with a snippet

i don’t know tvExplorer at all... and the ditto extender for yams seems to be missing in it’s call

though, as yams seems to work in the chunk you may try this syntax

or this one (actually near your former one but without the placeholders signs


if it doesn’t work, i think an other (and simple) way to solve your problem would be to write a snippet that will retreive the correct tv depending on the languague and return its content (really easy to do) and then call that snippet in the chunk) let me know if you need help for that
