@EVAL array parents but don't include named child IDs in input or output

Can I remove certain child IDs from either a TV input option @EVAL or from the output that the TV returns?
TV input:

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('listProducts',array('parent:IN' => array(2,76)));

Output:

$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$parents = $modx->getOption('parents', $scriptProperties, '2,76', true);
$parents = explode(',', $parents);
$c->where(array(
    'parent:IN' => $parents,
));
$resArray = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (empty($resArray)) {
   return 'No products found';
}
foreach($resArray as $res) {
    $resources[] = $res->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $res->get('id');
}
$out = implode("||",$resources);
return $out;

This populates a checkbox list. There are some children in here that I need to be able show them in the navigation but I don't want them to show as option in the checkbox list.

Thanks

I think this would do it (untested):

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('listProducts',array('parents' => '2,76', 'skip' => 3,22,43));


$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$parents = $modx->getOption('parents', $scriptProperties, '2,76', true);
$parents = explode(',', $parents);
$skip = $modx->getOption('skip', $scriptProperties, '12,33,44', true);
$skip = explode(',', $skip);

$c->where(array(
    'parent:IN' => $parents,
));
$resArray = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (empty($resArray)) {
   return 'No products found';
}
foreach($resArray as $res) {
    $docId = $res->get('id');
    if (in_array($docId, $skip)) {
        continue;
    }
    $resources[] = $res->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $docId;
}
$out = implode("||",$resources);
return $out;

Hi Bob

Thanks for the above, I've only just managed to get back round to looking at this again.
I think the key part of this is the parent:IN because if it doesn't use that it only shows the first resource in the array (for both 'parent' & 'skip'). Can something similar be done with skip:IN?

I tried a few iterations but nothing's come up trumps yet.

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('listProducts',array('parent:IN' => array(2,76), 'skip:IN' =>array(12, 33, 44)));

$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$parents = $modx->getOption('parents', $scriptProperties, '2,76', true);
$parents = explode(',', $parents);
$skip = $modx->getOption('skip', $scriptProperties, '12,33,44', true);
$skip = explode(',', $parents);
$c->where(array(
    'parent:IN' => $parents,
    'skip:IN' => $parents,
));
$resArray = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (empty($resArray)) {
   return 'No products found';
}
foreach($resArray as $res) {
    $resources[] = $res->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $res->get('id');
}
$out = implode("||",$resources);
return $out;

Take another look at this:

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('listProducts',array('parents' => '2,76', 'skip' => 3,22,43));

Notice that you don't put the :IN here, just property name and the comma-separated list of numbers.

There's a mistake in my code above. It should be:

$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$parents = $modx->getOption('parents', $scriptProperties, '2,76', true);
$parents = explode(',', $parents);
$skip = $modx->getOption('skip', $scriptProperties, '12,33,44', true);
$skip = explode(',', $skip);
 
$c->where(array(
    'parent:IN' => $parents,
));
$resArray = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (empty($resArray)) {
   return 'No products found';
}
foreach($resArray as $res) {
    $docId = $res->get('id');
    if (in_array($docId, $skip)) {
        continue;
    }
    $resources[] = $res->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $docId;
}
$out = implode("||",$resources);
return $out;

IOW,

$skip = explode(',', $parents);

should be:

$skip = explode(',', $skip);

(See post above)

BTW, I believe this would work also and would be a little faster (untested):

$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$parents = $modx->getOption('parents', $scriptProperties, '2,76', true);
$parents = explode(',', $parents);
$skip = $modx->getOption('skip', $scriptProperties, '12,33,44', true);
$skip = explode(',', $skip);
 
$c->where(array(
    'parent:IN' => $parents,
    'parent:NOT IN' => $skip,
));
$resArray = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (empty($resArray)) {
   return 'No products found';
}
$resources = array();
foreach($resArray as $res) {
    $docId = $res->get('id');
    $resources[] = $res->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $docId;
}
$out = implode("||",$resources);
return $out;

Thank you, I was getting hung up on the :IN part when it wasn't necessary.
The first snippet is the one I'm using, the second I couldn't get to work.

I did notice a few things that may be of use to others so here's my final code and an explanation.

In my structure I have #2 as the main product container housing resources as well as a sub-container, #76, which also has resources inside. The TV input @EVAL binding is the important part, with regards to the numbers to include and to skip. I can tell it to pull the resources from the sub-container (76) and can then tell it to skip 76 without stopping the resources within it being shown.

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('listProducts',array('parents' => '2,76', 'skip' => '166,71,74,98,73,75,76,77'));

The listProduct Snippet then doesn't seem to need the same 'array' list to be included for it to work so I've just used a number from the array as a fallback.

$c = $modx->newQuery('modResource');
$parents = $modx->getOption('parents', $scriptProperties, '2', true);
$parents = explode(',', $parents);
$skip = $modx->getOption('skip', $scriptProperties, '77', true);
$skip = explode(',', $skip);
  
$c->where(array(
    'parent:IN' => $parents,
));
$resArray = $modx->getCollection('modResource', $c);
if (empty($resArray)) {
   return 'No products found';
}
foreach($resArray as $res) {
    $docId = $res->get('id');
    if (in_array($docId, $skip)) {
        continue;
    }
    $resources[] = $res->get('pagetitle') . '==' . $docId;
}
$out = implode("||",$resources);
return $out;

Thanks again to Bob for your patience.

Yes, explode() will still turn the single number into an array:

array(
  [0] => "77"
)
