Hi guys! I want to have by Author, date below the article's title. I created a ditto call in my blog page:

Summary template (where all the article are listed)
```
[[Ditto? &language=`spanish-utf8` 
         &truncText=`Continuar...` 
         &parents=`11` 
         &extenders=`summary` 
         &truncLen=`300` 
         &tpl=`ditto.summary` 
         &orderBy=`pkDate DESC,pagetitle DESC` 
         &dateFormat=`%d %B %Y`]]
```
that works just fine. Then when you click any of the post you'll go to the page where you can read the complete article. I want to have the by Author, date below the article's title on this page too.

Article template
The issue I'm having is that I created another ditto call for this page:
```
[[Ditto? &parents=`11` 
         &tpl=`ditto.author.date` 
         &dateFormat=`%d %B %Y`]]
```
and the result is that I'm having the by Author, date twice on this page.

Any help? This is the url: http://segaconsultores.com.ve/blog

You should use a snippet to format the createdby and createdon values for these individual blog post pages. Ditto is intended for lists, not single items.
