[Solved]How to Show a "Featured Home" on main page?

Would it be possible to use this to sort the order in which 5 side-column chunks are displayed (1-3-2-5-4, for example), and on a per-page basis?

As far as I understand, the TV-based chunks are not sortable; this setup only provides the ability to choose if individual chunks appear or don’t, sort of "yes" or "no" but not "how". I need to have them all appear, but in a certain order (according to season or to which competition is next coming). Maybe I am overlooking something?

you can use Quill for this

http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=355

1. install the snippet
2. create a TV e.g. "feature", "Dropdown List Menu", Input Option Values: @EVAL return $modx->runSnippet(’Quill’, array("parent"=>"11")); with 11 being the id of my parent folder to retrieve documents from
3. assign it to your template
4. on your startpage you can call Ditto like this: [[Ditto? &documents=`[*feature*]` &extenders=`summary` ... etc ]]

5. your TV "feature" will list all available documents to choose from

this is quite handy

solves this problem:

what if 1 home is promoted to the home page and I have try to promote another? I’m just tryin to think of all the possibilities to make it as easy as possible 4 the client

*edit: ddTree Snippet could work as well:

[!Ditto? &documents=`[*feature*]`  &tpl=`featuredProperty` &extenders=`summary` &noResults=`No Featured Home Selected.` !]

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('Quill', array("parent"=>"4"));

I see the properties in the drop down menu but when I choose one and click save nothing happens on the home page.. maybe its something minor im missing but I cant spot it anywhere. thanks for quill! just gotta get it workin

if you set the the id of &documents manually for one property it’s displayed right?

&documents=`[*feature*]` and the name of the TV are the same ( sorry to ask, but it happens to me quite often )
try different cachin options, although i think it doesn’t make a difference
