Hi,

I have a very basic Ditto call:

[!Ditto? &parents=`45` &display=`3` &randomize=`1` !]

What I would like is that from multiple parent IDs, i.e. 45; 52; 60; and 63, three resources are shown from EACH parent. Is that possible?

Q2: Can I also specificy somehow that from parent ID 45, only 2 resources get displayed AND from ID 52, only 1 resource gets displayed, AND from ID 60 only 4 resources get displayed? If so, how?

Thanks.

Ah OK, just came to me that I could do this...

[!Ditto? &parents=`45,52,60,63` &display=`3` &randomize=`1` !]

That works.

But how to set the display number for EACH parent ID separately??

Create a documents list by nested Ditto calls:

[!Ditto?
&documents=`[!Ditto? &parents=`45`, &display=`3` &tpl=`@CODE:[+id+],`!],[!Ditto? &parents=`52`, &display=`3` &tpl=`@CODE:[+id+],`!] …` 
&randomize=`1`
!]

Hi Jako,

Thank you for your reply.

This is too advanced for me now, I have to scale up my reading (and understanding) of Ditto.

The &tpl parameter gives me parse errors. I guess I am doing something wrong...

Sorry, try:

&tpl=`@CODE [+id+],`
