Hi my friends... I'm a novice developer getting into Modx Revolution. I have a problem related to Mgix and getImageList
I'm trying to make possible the upload of multiple pictures at once using Migx and a template variable which houses all the pics as a photo album.
For this task, I'm following this tutorial:
https://docs.modx.com/extras/revo/migx/migx.tutorials/migx.use-resource-specific-mediasource-and-multifile-uploader. It explains that you have to create a dynamic resource-specific media source and to create a MIGX TV with a given configuration.
As an overview, I have a Project template which has these template variables:
- projectName
- projectDescription
- photoAlbum (input: migx and configuration: photoAlbum - same as Tv name)
The user can create mutliple Project resources that use the Project template, and they appear on the site using a getPage call, which is placed inside a container resource:
[[!getPage?
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`[[*id]]`
&limit=`4`
&tpl=`chunkProject`
&includeContent=`1`
&includeTVs=`1`
&processTVs=`1`
&sortby=`menuindex`
&sortdir=`ASC`
]]
All the projects are processed with the 'chunkProject' chunk. Inside this code, there is a getImageList call which takes all the pictures from the template variable 'photoAlbum' for every project (remember that this Tv has Migx as input type and is an album of photos):
<div class="project">
<h2>
[[+tv.projectName]]
</h2>
<p class="description">
[[+tv.projectDescription]]
</p>
<div class="slider-wrapper">
[[!getImageList?
&tvname=`photoAlbum`
&tpl=`@CODE:<img src="[[+image]]" />`
&where=`{"published":"1"}`
]]
</div>
</div>
When browsing the site, every thing renders fine except that the 'photoAlbum' outputs nothing. They should appear as a stack of img tags (they are shown as a slider using the 'SlidesJs' script - not related to Modx).
Let me add some details that may be important:
Inside the getImageList call, I placed [[+image]] to display the images one after the other. Is that fine in my case? I got that code from the tutorial. I didn't create any 'image' chunk but I guess it is contained within the photoAlbum Tv configuration.
And finally:
On the tutorial, there is a configuration for the photoAlbum Migx TV which is a text like this:
{
"formtabs":[
{
"MIGX_id":71,
"caption":"Image",
"print_before_tabs":"0",
"fields":[
{
"field":"title",
"caption":"Title",
"MIGX_id":327,
"pos":1
},
etc... After pasting the complete text using the Migx Manager (Migx tab) inside photoAlbum TV, some of the parameters (such as '71' in 'MIGX_id') get changed if I check later that configuration.
Any help is greatly appreciated!!!
