[ZAP]

There are quite a few interesting additions and changes in that list!

[Peter Bowyer]

I had no issues when upgrading which was good.  The one thing that isn't working (and I don't know if it did in previous versions) is images embedded in RSS feeds created by Ditto.  Ditto needs to rewrite the URLs and any internal links to be fully qualified, in order for them to be usable in RSS readers.

Regards,
Peter

[davidm]

Great stuff indeed, I'll get down to upgrading a site to see how that works out and report !

[Jako]

In the german language file there was a mixture of <carriage return> and <line feed> at the end of the lines - sometimes <cr><lf>, sometimes <cr>, sometimes <lf> .

Uploaded via CuteFTP on a Windows system this causes

Code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /.../assets/snippets/ditto/lang/german.inc.php on line 1

The parameters &day, &month, &year of the dateFilter extender seems not to work here. They were shown in the debug console but the filter is not applied.

Jako

Please give this a try and report any issues you encounter here.

I posted this in another thread, but I'll repeat it here, where it probably belongs.

showPublishedOnly=`0` does not work for child documents. The fix is on line 884 (using r1460); change

Update: sorry, this is completely bogus. Ditto works fine and my 'fix' just makes unpublished documents always visible. The real issue is simple PEBKAC ... I hadn't noticed that the Ditto chunk contained its own Ditto calls that were not asking for published articles. Sorry for the noise.

[dflock]

Hi,
This beta seems to be pretty good so far, expect for one little issue that I came across today with the next and previous links in pagination.

They work fine until you tell Ditto to use chunks instead, at which point the link disappears -  it still displays the text, but it's not a clickable link anymore.

The chunks that I was using were very simple - I just wanted to remove the angle brackets, so the chunk was literally just the word 'previous' or 'next'.

I ended up just removing the &lt; and &gt; from the language file for now - I know this is the wrong way to do it, but I couldn't get it working otherwise.

Thanks,
Dunc

Hello,

I have an issue with Reflect.

I use this call :

Code:

[!Reflect? &dittoSnippetParameters=`parents:28|summarize:all|dateSource:pub_date|extenders:dateFilter|sortDir:DESC|sortBy:pub_date` &monthSortDir=`DESC` &groupByYears=`0` &dateSource=`pub_date` &dateFormat=`%d/%m/%y` &tplContainer=`ArchivesActu` &tplMonth=`ArchivesActuMonth`!]

I get no output after updating to 2.1BETA

I changed into the code below after reading this

[NEW] Reflect now natively accepts most Ditto parameters (no more &dittoSnippetParameters!)

Code:

[!Reflect? &debug=`1` &parents=`28` &summarize=`all` &dateSource=`pub_date` &extenders=`dateFilter` &sortDir=`DESC` &sortBy=`pub_date` &monthSortDir=`DESC` &groupByYears=`0` &dateSource=`pub_date` &dateFormat=`%d/%m/%y` &tplContainer=`ArchivesActu` &tplMonth=`ArchivesActuMonth`!]

but nothing changed : I still get no output, no debug.

Should I change something ?

For 2.1BETA2 I had to change te wrapper placeholder to [+WRAPPER+] in tplContainer to get output (is was I believe [+archive_list+]?)

A revision with a few additional fixes has been added in the first post as r1461.

[lance.mignot]

Hi,

for some reason, i'm getting "unexpected end of archive" errors with the 2 attachments, anything I'm doing wrong? I've downloaded the 2 files in both IE7 and Firefox2+ and in both cases the archive seems corrupt.

Cheers!

Mac or PC with what unzip software?

[sottwell]

Just tried it with Mac and Stuffit, worked fine.

[gavro]

There is something wrong with the last uploaded file (or with the forumsw). I've tried to download it with Opera and Konqueror. The file from Opera had a bed ending, Konqueror reported during download the file has a bad ending.
Only when downloading with Firefox it succeeds...

[Jako]

I think it would be better to set the month-placehoder of the dateFilter-Extender not to text representation of the month and leave it numeric.

Code:

197: $modx->setPlaceholder($dittoID."month",$month);

So it could be modified by phx:math and translated later by phx:date.

Or have another placeholder like month_num.

[Mark]

Changing that placeholder would break backwards compatibility. However, adding something along the lines of month_numeric, a numeric version of month, makes sense. Please file a Ditto ticket for this (see link in signature)

[Jako]

Please file a Ditto ticket for this (see link in signature)

Done ...

BTW: Did you get my response for my &dateFilterSource=`params` problem?

[lance.mignot]

Mac or PC with what unzip software?

PC, tried with winrar, total commander's built-in tgz unarchiver, winzip... no joy. I tried again today and still doesn't work.

Haven't tried with mac, will do so.

Cheers!
