Ditto template for folders ?

Hello,

Is there a way to specify a different template for folders when we use Ditto ?
We have a parameter that can show or hide folders but I can't find any to specify a template for those items ?

Any ideas ?

The idea that comes to mind is to put 'class="folder"' in one of the folder resource's fields, perhaps the description, then put [+description+] in the tpl where a classname would be appropriate; it won't insert anything in items that don't have a value in that field. Then you can style it as you like.

You can use PHx condition (built-in or standalone) for logic inside template:

Hello,

Eoler' solution is great, but it seems that PHx forget some placeholders like [+introtext+] or other TVs.

I use Ditto to list all ressources from a directory.
That directory has subfolders.
So I wrote this in the tpl that is called by Ditto :


It works just fine, the right tpl is used, but datas is missing.
For example, in the chunk infosUtilesTpl, I wrote :

introtext and the TV fichierATelecharger are blank.
When I call directly the chunk infosUtilesTpl, introtext and fichierATelecharger do appear.

Any ideas ?
Thanks in advance.

The problem comes from using chunks - a level too deep for Ditto parsing required fields from your templates.
Solution - use hiddenFields parameter:

Cool, didn't know that hiddenFields worked/could be used like that.

Last week I had a dittocall and called a chunk into the tpl, accedently it worked because I still had the outsourced tv in the tpl there like;



after removing it there was no title.
adding it back again it worked, now I can use hiddenfields for it lol.

Wonderful. That works perfectly using PHx condition (Ditto builtin) and using hiddenFields parameter.

Thanks a lot.
