Hi everyone,

I have a series of TV’s associated with a bunch of documents, I’d like the detail page to output the checked-off TV’s as a UL list. Any ideas?

Thanks in Advance,
Chuck

Hi Bruno17.

I have a TV set o for a template that is displayed as a check box when editing the document:

TV: optionsList
Value: option1==Option 1||option2==Option 2||option3==Option 3||option4==Option 4

The user selects option1 & option2 when editing the document.

What I want to do now is display the output of the TV selections on the front end as:

<ul>
<li>Option 1</li>
<li>Option 2</li>
</ul>

Thoughts?

don’t know if there is a ready solution. But you can try this:

<?php

//[!tvToList? &tvname=`yourtv`&docid=`yourdocid`!]

$docid=isset($docid)?$docid:$modx->documentObject['id'];
$tv=$modx->getTemplateVar($tvname,'*',$docid);
$value=$tv['value'];
$array=explode('||',$value);
if (count($array)>0){
$output='<ul>';
foreach ($array as $value){
$output.='<li>'.$value.'</li>';
}
$output.='</ul>';
}
return $output;
