TVs In Chunks won't change

Hello there,
I’ve got (i guess) a pretty newbish question concerning Template Variables and Chunks;

I created a ditto call and i want to use some small images on every list-item, but they need to change of course for every document.

So, i created a TV named refimg and chose "Text" for EntryType and "Image" in the second DropDown menu and the file path (assets/templates/folder/img.jpg) as standard value.
So, then in my Ditto-Template-Chunk it goes like:


and it shows me the image as i wanted.
BUT, if i change the TV-value on a document like "assets/templates/folder/second_img.jpg" it keeps showing me the standard image all the time!

What do i have to do that it shows me different images?

Thanks for your help!

Should be:

<div class="referenzimg">
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+refimg+]</a>
</div>

No, tried this before, but with + instead of * the images just totally disappear ...
Also do simpel text-TV’s ...

which version of ditto are you using ?
and what is your call

:-)

I’m using Ditto 1.0.2, MODx 0.9.6 RC1 and my call as follows



hope this helps!

if you use an older version you need to call the tag like this [+tvrefimg+] and make sure that the tv also exist on the document that you are using the ditto call on, the tv does not need to be filled or placed on the page itzelf but in needs to be atached to the template that document is using if not that you need to set extra paranmeters to show hiddentv’s.

I would recommend to upgrade ditto to 2.0

Anyway with this version the tv in chunk must be prefixed with "tv"

<div class="referenzimg">
<a href="[~[+id+]~]">[+tvrefimg+]</a>
</div>

Should do the trick but if it doesn’t work have a look to the snippet params.

hell yea, thanks for your help guys, its working now!

It’s been just the two letters, "tv" prefixing the TV name and all went good ...
