I did find this on your site, Bob:
[table][tr][td]Getting the value of a TV in another document is a little more tricky because the processed value of the TV can be different for each document it’s embedded in. As a result, you have to either get the resource object using the method above, or use specific methods of the TV and send along the ID of the document. Assuming that $id is the ID of the document (not the TV):
/* Get the TV */
$tv = $modx->getObject(’modTemplateVar’,array(’name’=>’MyTV’));
/* get the raw content of the TV */
$rawValue = $tv->getValue($id);
/* get the processed content of the TV */
$processedValue = $tv->renderOutput($id);[/td][/tr][/table]
You are the MODx warrior!
