Getting Resources from a specific container and listing them in a T.V.

I’ve seen a snippet like this before, but it was forever ago and now I can’t seem to hunt it down. Essentially I need the ability to be able to list all the Resources (a.k.a. documents) from a specified container and output them either in a drop down T.V. or as Radio buttons for the Manager to pick on any given document.

So here’s an example:

Container A
-- Child 1
-- Child 2
-- Child 3
-- Child 4
-- Child 5

When the Manager goes to a Resource and scrolls down to the T.V. section, they’ll have a T.V. which shows Child 1, Child 2, Child 3, Child 4, Child 5 as Radio options. Whenever the manager adds a new Resource to Container A, the new Child, (i.e. Child 6) will show up in the T.V. section. Hope that makes sense.

You’re looking for the @SELECT binding. Super hotness, that is.

Ahhh...I figured it was something simple like that

I look around at the WIKI and it eventually took me to this page where this specific example is explained:

I used the following in the Input Option Values for the T.V. I just setup:


The "modx_site_content" being the table name in the db and the parent was obviously 2 in the document tree.


Thanks!
