How do I get the summary text of one spesific document

How do I get the summary text of one specific document from my three, on the front website?

I need a call to get the specific ID and not the startID, I think...

This is what I have so far.



This only gives me a listing of the last document. The one I want is the summary of document ID 67...

How can I do this?

This’ll work:


create a new chunk with the following Code, As long as it’s name matches the &tpl=`CHUNKNAME` in your ditto snippet call you’re good to go.

{{CHUNK}}


It seems kinda odd to want a single id on the page, you might as well add the content to the home page it’s self.

I would suggest a convention. Set up a container and rotate content on the home page based on the most recently published document in that directory.



This will output the summery for the most recent page added under your "containerID"(numeric). Giving your homepage the much sought after Google appeal...

hope this helped.

This worked for me - but I have template variables assigned to the id of the document I’m calling - does a Ditto call have access to tv’s?
Or do I have to use something else to get these values through e.g. use the GetField snippet?

Thanks

SOLVED - you need to add "tv" as a prefix to the template variable name - e.g [+tvTemplateVariableName+]

Thanks, that worked.
I never thought of using the filter parameter in ditto.

The reason I want a specific ID is that I want a dynamically generated summary text i.e. a small company presentation/teaser. Instead of writing it on the front side, I want to have that information gathered one place. With a lot of content, it is handier to edit the information directly on the relevant page instead of doing this several places on the site. Less work and more logical...

cool. sounds interesting.

How would you do this with Ditto 1.1b2?

I’ve just upgraded and the call that worked here now doesn’t - basically it looks like I can pass a filter e.g &filter=`id,2` where document id 2 is a child of the site root.

But any document thats within document 2 doesn’t get seen by the ditto call?

How do I solve this? here’s the ditto call:



Appreciate you help, thanks.

once again replying to myself - descendantDepth renamed to just depth for Ditto 1.1.
