blox - no Chunks or anything else except Snippet

Hi there!

I installed the blox1.2.3-extra via the package management (MODX 2.5.7).

blox is giving me some output with this call:

[[!bloX?
	&packagename=`inserate` 
	&classname=`Inserate` 
	&sortConfig=`[{"sortby":"RAND()"}]` 
	&where=`{"published":"1"}
	&tpls=`row:InserateBilder`
]]

But the "tpls"-part seems to be ignored, I got the same output with or without the tpls. The chunk "InserateBilder" exists.

Secondly I can't find any chunks or anything else in the backend/manager. I also refreshed, logged out and flushed sessions. Somewhere in the forum i read about missing elements in the resource-tree (i can't find the thread atm), but the suggestion there was to use Bob Rays "SiteCheck", which i did use...it found a few errors which I could get rid of by hand. But still no chunks etc. showing up.

I also deinstalled and reinstalled blox, without success.

Last thing I tried was to edit the chunk files in the core/components/blox-folder, but this didn't change anything.

At the moment I'm getting the pagination and the following:

(32)
(28)
(34)
...

So I can't edit the output at all...

Any hint available on what i'm doing wrong?

if you don't need anything special, what only bloX could do, I would suggest, using migxLoopCollection from MIGX - package.

use it like that:

[[!migxLoopCollection?
    &packageName=`inserate` 
    &classname=`Inserate` 
    &sortConfig=`[{"sortby":"RAND()"}]` 
    &where=`{"published":"1"}
    &tpl=`InserateBilder`
]]

-------------------------------

you can buy me a beer, if you like MIGX

Thanks Bruno - once again - for your excellent and fast help!

This is woorking with the code you provided...i thought i tried this earlier as well, but i might be wrong.

But...I guess you can tell if there should be a blox-folder in chunks in the backend, shoudn't it? Otherwise, how am I able to edit the blox-output?y
