hello,

I there a way that my modx can automatically create an rss feed of all my pages including the titles and links?

I have tryed this yet but it doesn’t work:

[!Ditto? &format=`rss` &tpl=`ditto_rss_tpl`!]

now I get an empty page.

Ivar

PS. I do not use Ditto any further on my site.

You need to define &parents parameter. The id of the container in which all posts/articles resides. i.e. &parents=`2` OR for multiple &parents=`23,24,25`.

hope this helps.

I want all my pages to be included!

how can I do this?

edit: maybe it’s possible with wayfinder? and a pair of chunks.

All pages would be &parents=`0` &depth=`0`

Ditto is definitely the way to go. You can find documentation for it at http://ditto.modxcms.com

Here is an example RSS feed using it:

http://ditto.modxcms.com/tutorials/custom-rss-feed.html

Ditto allows your template to contain any placeholder for which there is a content field when creating a page and any TVs you have created.

[+pagetitle+], [+longtitle+], [+description+], [+introtext+], [+content+], [+myTV+], [+etc+]

now I get error’s because of the javascript and the style in my pages.

is there a way to ’strip’ the content of the pages from those chunk before it is put in my rss.
those chunk must be in place when the page is loaded normally.

edit: is there also an way to exclude some docs because of that they aren’t shown in the menu?

i think you should extract your chunk from the description field (content in modx? ) and use a tv for this chunk so you dont have styles ans js in the <description>..

for excluding doc you can use that : http://ditto.modxcms.com/tutorials/basic_filtering.html

and you can find the shown in menu here : http://modxcms.com/the-document-object.html

good luck

I have a filter script now.

how do I make it work with the ditto.

<?php
$tekst = 'ga naar <a href="http://www.vintagesworld.be">mijn site</a> andere test [!hallo!] [[world]]. hier tussen <style type="text/css">#aap {beer: muis;}</style> staat een style en een script.';

$tekst =  preg_replace("#\<style(.*?)\<\/style\>#i","", $tekst); //alle styles
$tekst =  preg_replace("#\<script(.*?)\<\/script\>#i","", $tekst); //alle scripts

$tekst =  preg_replace("#\[(.*?)\]#i","", $tekst); //haalt alles tussen [ en ] weg incl de []
$tekst =  preg_replace("#\<(.*?)\>#i","", $tekst); //haalt alles tussen < en > weg incl <>
$tekst =  preg_replace("#\]#i","", $tekst); //haalt laatse achtergebleven ] weg

echo $tekst;
?>
