Thank you that worked great.

But even using http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/FormIt.Example+1+-+Contact+Page

Nothing gets populated here: <p>[[+fi.error.error_message]]</p>

I copied pasted straight from the example.

to get the id, you need to save the resource

$doc->save();

then you can get the id with

$id=$doc->get('id');

after that and if you want to have the alias is the id you can set your alias with

$doc->set('alias', $id);

and save your resource again

$doc->save();

That worked, but then stopped working? It is not saving with a URL it is weird. So when I save it and the go to the page that is displaying them, there is no URL. But when I clear the cache in the manager, then view the page they are displayed on, it works. Here is the formit2resource snippet:


<?php

$doc = $modx->getObject(’modResource’,array(’id’=>$hook->getValue(’resource_id’)));

if (empty($doc)){
$doc = $modx->newObject(’modResource’);
$doc->set(’createdby’, $modx->user->get(’id’));
}
else{
$doc->set(’editedby’, $modx->user->get(’id’));
}

$allFormFields = $hook->getValues();
foreach ($allFormFields as $field=>$value)
{

if ($field !== ’spam’ && $field !== ’resource_id’){
$doc->set($field, $value);
}
}

$doc->set(’template’, ’2’); // Use NominationTemplate
$doc->set(’published’,’1’); // Set resource to be published.
$doc->save();

$id=$doc->get(’id’);
$doc->set(’alias’, $id);
$doc->save();

foreach ($allFormFields as $field=>$value)
{
if ($tv = $modx->getObject(’modTemplateVar’, array (’name’=>$field)))
{
/* handles checkboxes & multiple selects elements */
if (is_array($value)) {
$featureInsert = array();
while (list($featureValue, $featureItem) = each($value)) {
$featureInsert[count($featureInsert)] = $featureItem;
}
$value = implode(’||’,$featureInsert);
}
$tv->setValue($doc->get(’id’), $value);
$tv->save();
}
}

return true;
?>

you can call your snippet which lists them uncached or set the resource to uncached or clear the cache after saving with something like that:

    /* empty cache */
    $cacheManager= $modx->getCacheManager();
    $cacheManager->clearCache(array (
            "{$doc->context_key}/resources/",
            "{$doc->context_key}/context.cache.php",
        ),
        array(
            'objects' => array('modResource', 'modContext', 'modTemplateVarResource'),
            'publishing' => true
        )
    );

I currently am calling getresources uncached so I will try your code snipped to clear the cache once the resource is saved. Should I drop that at the end of the formit2resource snippet before "return true;"

exact.

Works like a charm! Thanks a million.

1 Last question! I hope I am not being a pain! Am I able to upload a file to the /assets/ directory using Formit?
