    Hi - I am using a TV with resourcelist Input type to allow CMS user to specify a resource - I then want to take that resourcelist ID and get the pagetitle for it and also a TV that the resource will use - lets call it [[*socialImage]].

    I need the [[+pagetitle]] and [[*socialImage]] to be rendered in a chunk where I pass the resourcelist resource ID...

    Any ideas how to achieve this?

    Cheers

      Got this working using getResourceField extra - so

      get 'pagetitle' attribute for the TV: [[*RelatedPost]]:

      [[getResourceField? &id=`[[*RelatedPost]]` &field=`pagetitle` ]]


      get 'socialImage' TV attribute for the TV: [[*RelatedPost]]:

      [[getResourceField? &id=`[[*RelatedPost]]` &field=`socialImage` &processTV=`1` &isTV=`1` ]]
