Still not working... If i run the updater again can it work?

@mark: Can I PM you an user/pass for the manager to check it out?

[doze]

@doze: No, not yet, but I plan on allowing that via a parameter.

Ok, I'll be waiting for that.. I'll try to do some initial snippet with the available fields for now and update it when this is done. Thanks!

When using JSON as the output format in ditto, is there a way to prevent it breaking the content field into multiple lines? If I use javascript eval() on the output, it errors saying "Unterminated string constant". But if I remove the linebreaks, it gets evaled ok.

So to make it perfectly clear, currently it outputs this (what is not evaling):

Code:

{ "title":"test", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=39", "description":"", "language":"english", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "ttl":"120", "entries":[ { "title":"Another title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "description":"61.438767,23.730469", "content":"
More content here

", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "author":"Built-in Administration account" }, { "title":"Some title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "description":"60.239811,25.048828", "content":"
Content here

", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "author":"Built-in Administration account" } ] }

and when changed to this, it evals ok:

Code:

{ "title":"test", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=39", "description":"", "language":"english", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "copyright":"My MODx Site 2006", "ttl":"120", "entries":[
{ "title":"Another title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "description":"61.438767,23.730469", "content":"More content here", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=42", "author":"Built-in Administration account" },
{ "title":"Some title", "link":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "description":"60.239811,25.048828", "content":"Content here", "pubDate":"06", "guid":"http://localhost:8080/eclipse/modx/index.php?id=41", "author":"Built-in Administration account" } ] }

The contents of "content" field to json comes from [+summary+] placeholder.

Btw. json is missing from the documentation as possible value to &format parameter..

EDIT: also, is there a reason why copyright is twice at the first block?

[Marschant]

I have a pet hate and that is ListRelated, is there anyway using perhaps the tag parameter to simulate the behaviour of ListRelated using ditto?
I don't want to tag documents at this stage, since I am utilising keywords and metatags and I think this functionality would push ditto beyond the realm of ubercool.

Any ideas?

[doze]

Would you consider to allow passing template code right at the snippet call or a path to filesystem.

So when using Ditto in another snippet, I would not need to have ditto's templates allways in chuncks when I want to output in some specific format to my snippet. Could do something like:

$dittoOutput = $modx->runSnippet("Ditto", array("tpl" => "<post><title>[+title+]</title><summary>[+summary+]</summary></post>"));

or

$dittoOutput = $modx->runSnippet("Ditto", array("tpl" => "assets/snippets/mysnippet/dittochunk.tpl"));

So maybe do something like in Ditto when getting the templates from snippet parameters:

Code:

$tpl = isset($tpl) ? $ditto->getTpl($tpl): $_lang['default_template'];

function getTpl($tpl){
global $modx;
$template = "";
if ($modx->getChunk($tpl) != "") {
$template = $modx->getChunk($tpl);
} else if(file_exists($tpl)) {
$template = file_get_contents($tpl);
} else {
$template = $tpl;
}
return $template;
}

@openfire:

did you get ditto running?

my modx shows this error:

I get this error:
Code:

MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

  Line:    84   
  Line 84 source:    foreach ($modx->documentMap as $mapEntry) {

seems like we have the same problem!

Have you applied this fix: http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,5344.msg40314.html#msg40314

@simon79:

Yes it's running now but... I reuploaded the install and all the files for 0.9.2.1 and did the udpate again. Now it's working but QuickEdit is rendering weirdly.

@simon79:
Not the patch, I uploaded the whole thing.

[simon79]

thx!

i uploaded the 0.9.2.1 files and now its runnig!

[OpenGeek]

FYI -- the 0.9.2.1 patch is only for users who upgraded to 0.9.2 already, so it would not work if coming from an earlier version.

Ok, I have incorperated the bugfix's in this thread into a quick beta release (attached ONLY to this post).

@Doze, all of your feature requests have been implimented

@Marschant, use the tagging support in ditto as described but use the new tagData source keywords.

[Mark]

Do you think it would make sense for metatags in the keywords string to be formatted type:value or keep it as just value?

The JSON data comes now nicely and evals too if there is no html content in it. But if the content field has for example an image, it wont eval, because the " chars wont get escaped. So it will make something like:

Code:

"content":"Test with image:<br /><br /><img width="118" height="74" src="http://www.netguru.fi/modx/assets/images/logo.png" alt="" />"

What ofcourse fails.. Could you do a snippet parameter that when enabled would do addslashes() to all of the fields what will be outputted (title, description, tvs, etc..). Or maybe another parameter to go with that where it would be possible to tell what fields should be addslashed (comma delimitted string, default with all). The it should eval ok..
