tvFilters issue

I’m trying to get MODx to perform a seemingly simple task, where getResources makes a filter that includes only those that have a checkbox variable that includes a specific value. I tried tvFilters, but I must be using it incorrectly. Right now, the code I am using returns nothing.

[[getResources? &parents=`0` &tpl=`mainNavItem` &includeTVs=`1` &tvFilters=`inMenu==Main`]]

Is there any more information I can give to help you give me any advice?

The only difference with mine is that I am using &includeContent=`1` instead of includeTVs and works fine. This is my filter... &tvFilters=`postFeatured==Home`

Could you show me your entire snippet call?

Actually, I think I just figured out what I was doing wrong. It looks like it’s "tvFilter", not "tvFilters"

This is my call:

[[!getResources? &parents=`7,8,9` &limit=`8` &tvFilters=`postFeatured==Home` &tpl=`resourceList` &includeContent=`1`]]

and it is tvFilters per http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getResources


maybe try it uncached... with the "!"

Unfortunately, it looks like I was wrong about using "tvFilter". I tricked myself into believing I had solved this. Also, learing the cache does not seem to change things.

So what is the result from your snippet?

Go to modxperience.com and see the "Featured Howtos" in the home page
or go to secondary pages and see the featured articles in the sidebar.....

with a TV I can indicate per document if I want it featured in Home,
in the sidebar or nowhere (an this can be expanded later). Then I use
getResources to "filter" the appropriate documents...

I think I really have solved it this time. It appears that settling default values on TV’s does not set it so that it registers with tvFilters. Once I tried the tvFilters value against values that were not default, it worked perfectly. Disabling the default value and returning tvFilter to look for the value I had originally set resulted in a success. This could be an undocumented bug. For now, I will just have to resist setting default values.

Previously, in every case, the snippet would completely fail, and not return anything.
