Ditto only listing three children

697 Posts

Hi,

I have a very strange issue with one production site : Ditto only outputs 3 children documents.
I checked the source code and it is not only a display issue; no more than 3 documents are output.

The same site exists as development site and Ditto displays there all children.

Here's the code:

<!--start of tabs area-->
<div class="onglets" >
  <ul class="tabs">
  [[Ditto &startId=`[*id*]` &tpl=`onglet`  &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` ]]
  </ul>

  <!-- tab panes -->
  [[Ditto &startId=`[*id*]` &tpl=`panneau_onglet_76_22`  &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` ]]

</div>
<!--end of tabs area-->

The production site is running MODX 1.0.15 on PHP 5.4.39.
The development site is running MODx 1.0.14 on PHP 5.2.17.

I can send the URLs as personal messages if someone wants to have a look; please send me a PM.

Thanks.

Doesn't Ditto have a default limit that needs to be set to show more than 3?

The default &display value for Ditto is `all`.

I doubt whether the following has anything to do with the problem, but:
- use &parents rather than the obsolete &startId. The latter works, because it's internally converted to &parents. With &parents, you can use mutiple parent folders
- the default for &parents is the current location, so no need for &parents=`[*id*]`
- when using multiple Ditto calls on a page, it's a good idea to use the &id parameter, to generate individual placeholders for each call (the value of &id becomes a prefix for the placeholders)

You can get some idea of what Ditto is seeing and what it's doing with it using the parameter &debug=`1`, though it sometimes only generates the debug console when you twiddle with the caching.

Ah, I see. It's been a few years since I used it.

Thanks.
I also had the souvenir of what Susan mentions, but the development site shows that it works without.
As kp52 mentions, Ditto's documentation tells that the default for &display is `all`.
I had already tried all what kp52 mentions and server + browser caches were cleared.
I even tried this paranoid code, but it doesn't change anything:

<div class="onglets" >
  <ul class="tabs">
  [[Ditto? &parents=`98` &id=`myTabs` &limit=`10` &display=`10` &total=`10` &tpl=`onglet` &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` ]]
  </ul>

  <!-- les panneaux d'onglets -->
  [[Ditto? &parents=`98` &id=`myPanes` &limit=`10` &display=`10` &total=`10` &tpl=`panneau_onglet_76_22` &orderBy=`menuindex ASC` ]]
</div>

... and the debug console shows some limit to a maximum of 3 ; see picture attached. [ed. note: Jul last edited this post 8 years, 3 months ago.]
