Using shk_widget radioimage Output Inside Ditto Templates

A Shopkeeper parameter can behave differently depending on whether it is rendered as a direct TV tag or as a Ditto placeholder. That was the core issue behind this topic.

Direct TV Output

[*color:shk_widget=`radioimage:color:first_selected:desc_page`*]

Ditto Output

[+color:shk_widget=`radioimage:color:first_selected`+]

The problem is that listing placeholders do not always carry the same context as a full document field render. If the widget assumes more document-level state than Ditto provides, the output becomes inconsistent.

Practical Fix

• verify the exact placeholder value Ditto passes into the template
• keep widget logic as context-independent as possible
• test one product card outside the full catalog loop first

Once the widget is fed the right raw value in the right format, Ditto-based product cards become much more predictable.
