where is getTemplateVar in Revolution

hi,

i’m using revolution and i’m trying to retreive a collection of documents (all children of parentID=3), loop through them and check for each is it has a specific TV.

[tt] $c = $modx->newQuery(’modResource’);
$c->where(array(
’modResource.parent’ => 3,
));

$c->sortby(’menuindex’,’ASC’);
$resources = $modx->getCollection(’modResource’,$c);

foreach ($resources as $resource) {
$tv = modx->getTemplateVar(’jobtitle’,’*’,$resource->get(’id’)) ;
$output .= $tv;
}[/tt]

Now the modx->getTemplateVar does not seem to work. am i doing something wrong?

Now i started looking for some documentation on it but the docs i could find seem to suggest getTemplateVar is depreciated. is that true?
And is the class reference at http://api.modxcms.com/ valid for revolution? is it complete? (getCollection is not in there) or is there another link with revolution class reference.

thanks

Ralph

You could get the TV with



and then use



But since you already have the resource, you can use this easier method:



Note that it’s getTVValue(), not getTvValue().

Hi Bob,

Thank you, that worked. any idea if the api http://api.modxcms.com/ reference is complete? or why getCollection is not to be found there?

I don’t know if that is up-to-date or not. I couldn’t reach getCollection() from the tree at the left (that seems wrong, BTW), but it’s there in the guide.

It’s an xPDO method (the $modx object extends the $xpdo object). Click on "The MODx Revolution Core" on the right side, then on "xPDO."
