Hi all!
First off - I REALLY dig MODx! This really rocks and I am totally having a blast building our new revamped company sites using Revo, especially as our current site is awash in inability to dynamically cross-reference content from anywhere in the site.
Revo to the rescue! (Currently using 2.0.2)
Here’s my dilemma.
I’m currently just trying to setup an articles section in the site and I created a TV to list checkboxes for our various authors so new ’article’ pages can specify who the author(s) of the content are. No big whoop. In the template for the article pages, after I call the title TV, I call the Author TV so I can list the author of the article. Again, nothing groundbreaking here. In the TV, I set the Output Type to delimiter as I understood from the documentation that I can then simply indicate what character(s?) to use as a delimiter between the output values should there be more than one.
A comma on its own works as expected, but when I try a comma followed by a space (or even ), only the comma shows up in the resulting string and the authors get bunched together (as Alton Brown would say... definitely NOT good eats). In trying other multiple characters, is does seem to function just fine so I’m guessing I’m just not specifying the entry correctly. From scouring the boards/net, it looks like this may have been a problem in the past but I’m not sure if it was ever resolved or if I’m just not ’doing it right’. I’ve love any insight anyone can provide. Thanks!

Sweet!
- you sir rock with the best! Glad to know I’m not just going wonky with this. Thanks also for the ultra-speedy reply!
Since the fix is coming round the bend, I’ll just use a "get-by" delimiter for now. Thanks again!

Great. 2.0.4 will be out later this week, fyi.

Good gravy - they aren’t kidding! When do you find time to code? Methinks ye needs a banjo-break now and then!
Nonetheless, the MODx community loves your work!
Thanks again!

I updated to 2.0.4 less than twelve hours ago, and my TV using checkboxes for input now display more as expected, but when I use delimiter for output, it doesn’t seem to be effective at all. It still uses || as delimiter. Also, if I select two checkboxes for my TV, save the document, go to another document, then go back to the document I saved, if I click on the TV tab, my two TVs are no longer checked. I wondered if maybe that was intended functionality? I can’t imagine why, but it still crossed my mind.
