Answered Input type checkbox: Resource List as checkbox items for the user to select one or more

I am stuck with Modx Revo tv input type options and would appreciate some help.

What I want to achieve is have a checkbox type tv, that displays the resources of a particular parent as checkbox items. So when user checks an item or two, they will be outputted as comma separated values of the resource id-s.

Than I will put my tv in a getresources id value on the template and it will output some information form resource ID-s that have been checked. This is needed for blog posts to deliver some author (or co-author) related information from authors pages (like author thumbnail and summary information).

So how do I convert resource list into checkbox options?

The documentation on this is very ambiguous for me. I have tried Resource List input type, which works fine, but the user can select only one option, I need checkboxes for co-authored posts.

Thanks beforehand.

Hi BobRay!

Before posting here I tried that link. It was not working.

After you posted, and I followed the link and implemented the instructions once again, it didn't work either. Than suddenly I realized that I have changed the mysql db prefixes from modx to EP. That means I had to replace modx_site_content with EP_site_content.

Now it works like a charm!

Thanks for sending me the right direction.

I'm glad you got it sorted.
