I am trying to get Ditto to display 3 blog posts in 3 seperate divs.
(example: http://i49.tinypic.com/v2zcdf.jpg)
The next 3 blog items should go on a new page using the navigation that will be put under these three divs. There are seperator divs between them.

These are the Ditto calls for the first two divs. But its not working how it should be.

      [[Ditto? &id=`1` &parents=`53` &display=`3` &removeChunk=`Comments` &tpl=`ditto_blog` 
&paginate=`1` &extenders=`summary,dateFilter` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1` &tagData=`documentTags`]]

      [[Ditto? &id=`2` &parents=`53` &display=`3` &removeChunk=`Comments` &tpl=`ditto_blog` 
&paginate=`1` &extenders=`summary,dateFilter` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1` &tagData=`documentTags`]]

I tried using the documentation provided, but its not making things clear to me atm.

I’m having an issue with changing the paginate next and previous text. I have tried a number of options though, all it does is make the next and previous text disapear. i cant get any custom text to appear.

            <div id="Main-Content">
                
                
                <div id="Portfolio_Container">
                [!Ditto?  &parents=`[*id*]`  &depth=`3` &display=`1` &total=`10` &paginate=`1` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks= `1`  &sortDir=`ASC` &tpl=`Portfolio_Template`  &showPublishedOnly=`1` &extenders=`request` &filter=`id,50,2|id,51,2|id,52,2` &tplPaginatePrevious=`<` &tplPaginateNext=`>` !]
    
                    <div id="ditto_pages"> 
                        [+previous+] [+next+] [+pages+]  
                    </div> 

				</div>

          </div>

whats the correct way to only have the ">" or "<" show in &tplPaginatePrevious=`<` &tplPaginateNext=`>` i’m basicaly only wanting to remove the text for next and previous and geeking the greater or lesser than.

I have also tried the html code for the < and > that didn’t work either i have been able to find much in the way of documentation. on this other than http://ditto.modxcms.com/tutorials/pagination.html which didn’t help

thanks for any help

Have you looked in the ditto/lang folder and check your language file? They are in there.

$_lang['prev'] = "< Previous";
$_lang['next'] = "Next >";

What’s the point of having the pagination if you are only displaying two items?

&display=`2` &total=`2`

Do you have your container pages marked as uncached? I had this issue where pagnation wouldn’t work, if i was caching the container folders. as soon as i made them unchaced. the pagnation worked. more so if your not using PHX. to check edit your container page, then click the settings tab. the cache option is towards the bottom.

i would also throw in

 &hideFolders=`1` &seeThruUnpub=`0`

this hides the container folders, and the other helps when unpublishing a container, but the children are still marked as published. you will probably want this later on...

Try removing

&tplPaginatePage=`pageSplitter` &tplPaginateCurrentPage=`currentPageSplitter`

until you get the basic pagination working. I’ve had some issues where these caused issues when i didn’t have them set right.

I'm currently having issues with getting the pagination to work in Modx Evo 1.0.5. I've read around this thread and other areas on the forums, but can't seem to spot what's incorrect.

My Ditto call and pagination placeholders looks like this:

[[Ditto? &id=`print-gallery` &tpl=`print_gallery_tpl` &paginate=`1` &display=`2` &paginateAlwaysShowLinks=`1`]]

[+previous+] [+pages+] [+next+]

PHx is installed on the site, and the page is set to be un-cacheable.

I've tried removing my &tpl parameter to use the default Ditto output, with no luck.

If I remove the pagination parameters and set &display to be 5 (current number of articles), they all display fine.

I'm helping someone out mid-project, so I'm not entirely familiar with the setup to know if anything else could be interfering, so if you need anymore information let me know.

&id=`print-gallery`

If you use an ID in the Ditto call, you need to prefix the placeholders with that ID plus an underscore:

[+print-gallery_previous+] [+print-gallery_pages+] [+print-gallery_next+]

Personally, I avoid hyphens in element names, I think they can cause problems due to ambiguity with minus signs in some contexts.
