David,
thank you for your answer. I appreciate gladly any help I can get on this!
This is my second project with MODx and I know there are many many ways to get things work.
But at this moment I have no idea how to manage this - so far.
OK - I’ll try to explain it more detailed to get things clear(er).
The site I’m building has 4 major sections/categories.
Lets say for example the website for a Car Manufacturer with 4 categories like
Models, Engines, Tires, Accessories.
Every category is like a little own website with a different templates and its own dropmenu configuration.
I have a News section for all four categories. I managed a filtered output with a TV (Checkboxes)
where I can define per each message in which category the message should be published.
Every category has a folder ’News’ where I have used ’Ditto’ to show the associated news.
-Site Root
|
|-
Models (Template 1)
| |-News (Snippet ’Ditto’ output filtered by tvTag defined in News message)
| |-Model 1
| |-Model 2
| |-Model ...
|
|-
Engines (Template 2)
| |-News (Snippet ’Ditto’ output filtered by tvTag defined in News message)
| |-Engine 1
| |-Engine 2
| |-Engine ...
|
|-...
|
|-
News
|-News Article 1 (To be published in = ’Models,Engines’)
|-News Article 2 (To be published in = ’Engines’)
|...
The overview output with Ditto in its respective category works fine. But when I click on ’more’ for the
detailed view of the message I need to assign the specific template for the output, based on the category I’m
coming from.
A solution could be to define in Ditto with which template the detailed page should be called - or so
But maybe the way I went is completely wrong and there is a ’better’ or let me say an ’easier’
solution to realize a page structure like this.
