Sidebar with TV and content stored in documents?

I have sidebar blocks selectable in a TV like described in this thread or in this Wiki article. Now I want the content in documents rather than in chunks so that content editors can easily change it in the manager - without access to the resources section.

This must be possible in MODx - Can anyone please point me in the right direction?! Thanks.

Try a TV with @DOCUMENT xx bindings, where xx is the document ID that has the HTML code (and MODx tags) that you want in its content area.

Thanks Susan, but I get this to work only if I select one checkbox at a time. As soon as I select two or more, I get a parse error. My input option values look like this:

The error message contains this:
WHERE (sc.id IN (20||@DOCUMENT 21)

I’m sure you know what I’m doing wrong...
Cheers

P.S. I saw your ideas here, but that seems out of date?...

Is it true that only one document can be included per TV - as stated here?

If it is, then that would explain why @DOCUMENT binding is not working with my TV of input type checkbox... >:(

Does anyone have a suggestion? is the outputPage snippet the only way to go?

Change your TV type to listBox multi for instance

;-)

Change your TV type to listBox multi for instance

Hmm, listBox multi gives me the same error like the checkbox type TV when i select more than one document at a time (Please see my first post in this thread). My question is: Is it possible to include more than one document using @DOCUMENT binding in a TV like this:

(I can’t find documentation that says whether it’s possible.)

Hi,

can you tell us which widget you choose in your tv Settings

Could you try with the following settings
widget delimited list
value ||

:-)

Hi,

I had not selected any widget before. When I try with the Delimited List widget and the delimiter || as you suggested, the TV basically behaves the same: It displays the document content if only one (out of two) documents is selected in the TV, but it returns an error when both documents are selected:



I thought it should work the same as with chunks (no widget):

Only replacing the chunks by @DOCUMENT bindings (as Susan suggested):

Or even mixing the two:


Wouldn’t this be nice? Thanks for your help!

I have found the same to be true, if you select more than one option; no matter your type, you get nothing unless you select one or the other. My assumption would be that a TV can only return on answer regardless of its type (check box, multi select or radio). Of course, it would be a much more powerful feature if you could return more than one result from the TV.
