Hi
I have 6 items in folder (129). If I use &tpl_n4 to break row in my results (3 per row), I got only 4 items.
When delete this part "&tpl_n4=`tplCloseRow` &tplLast=`tplLastRow`" - I got every 6 items. Why?

<div class="row">
[[!getResources:default=`No results found`? &showHidden=`1` &parents=`129`  
 &tpl=`fotografieTpl` &tpl_n4=`tplCloseRow` &tplLast=`tplLastRow` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &includeContent=`1` 
&debug=`1` &limit=`100` &sortby=`menuindex` &sortDir=`ASC`
]]

tplLast

</div>

tplCloseRow

</div>
<div class="row" style="margin-top: 20px">

Every Tpl chunk needs to contain some content (i.e., placeholders). Without placeholders, the Tpl used will only return HTML, which doesn't show on the screen.

thanks for reply, but my main &tpl=`fotografieTpl` contains of course content (photo, title, description and others... is too big to put here), and this content is showed when I dont use &tpl_n4 option. My question is, what is wrong with &tpl_n4 / &tplLast / &tplLast? Only when use this options, I see only 4 items instead of 6. It should be 2 rows (3 items per row).

Sorry, I was going by what you posted.

Do have the &limit property in the getResources tag? It's default value is 5.

When you do a "view source" when using the extra options is here any evidence of the missing items? Is there any invalid HTML when using those options? It's easy to have that happen when you use multiple Tpl chunks.

[On second thought] When you use those options, the alternate Tpl is used *instead* of the main Tpl not in addition to it, so they also need to contain the content tags.

I found problem!
I thought that main template is always repeated, even if use &tpl_nX, but I need repeat main tpl content in it:

tplCloseRow

</div>
<div class="row" style="margin-top: 20px">
[[$fotografieTpl]]

Now it works!

Thank you for your help
