&pictureview_start_pos= Last picture?

My error logs are blank, and my webdeveloper’s toolbar doesn’t report any errors for the page.

Does anyone else have any ideas? I guess if we can’t get it working I can figure out something else but I’d really like people to be able to scan back through the past few pages in case they missed a page.

Thanks!

Dont know why the phx math isnt working for you, but like i said, you can do it with a snippet too:

[[mysnippet? &val=`[+maxigallery.picscount+]`]]

mysnippet:

Ugh, still not working.

Clearly I’ve got something funny going on, but I haven’t a clue where to start troubleshooting this.

My Plan B is just to go back to what I had originally, eliminating the navigation and linking the image to the Archives page. But if I have an funny setting somewhere I’d rather work it out or it’ll just give me grief later on.

Probably you are editing the wrong call / chunk / document. The snippet and the phx conditionals above should work. So triple check your setup.

Just reviving this to describe my solution for anyone who might come across this thread because they have the same issue.

First, I’ve done a lot more with Ditto on other sites and realized that part of my trouble might have been a misconception about PHx being packaged in with Ditto (that what was built-in might be enough to handle modifiers such as the ones called here).

Unfortunately that didn’t have any change!

Luckily I also learned about Cacheable pages and PHx, so I verified that I had Cache-ing turned off on ~17~, which I did. Then I went through the bits and bobs suggested until it finally worked with the following code:

Ditto Call in ~17~:



Chunk "gallery":



Chunk "picscount":



Thanks everyone for your help!

Blast! It couldn’t be that easy.

Once the visitor has started clicking ’next’ or ’previous’ from ~17~, the first half of the Chunk "gallery" snippet call is being output on the page



up until one reaches the call for the Chunk "picscount". The image still displays below this, followed by the closing `]]

I’ll update if I figure out how to suppress this (I’ve already tried setting all the pages as uncacheable, LOL, no change), but I’d appreciate if anyone else could tip me off first!

call ditto with [[ ]] on an uncached page and maxigallery with [! !] in ditto’s template.. or the other way around. It’s a feature of MODx evo branch that you need to alternate the caching level when you run snippets inside another snippets.

That’s what I thought I remembered reading once, but it didn’t seem to want to work with the proper nesting.

I tried with the innermost Maxigallery call [!’d, but that left the picture count one too high again. I swapped it so that the innermost was [[ and the penultimate Maxigallery call was [!, which loaded the proper image on the first call but gave the same errant script when moving forward or back.

So I turned on Cacheing, even though I thought I shouldn’t be able to with the PHx usage, leaving the settings as {!Maxigallery? ... `[[Maxigallery... and now it’s working. Not sure if I learned anything this time, but it’s working. Thanks doze and everyone else who lent a hand!
