TV-Based Chunks updated for Revolution in Wiki

I updated Splittingred’s TV-Based Chunks tutorial to include code for Revolution (with critical help from Splittingred) and added some notes on alternate ways to do it in Revolution:

http://wiki.modxcms.com/index.php/Create_TV-Based_Chunks

Let me know if you find any problems or have suggestions on improving it.

I can’t seem to get this to work in my Revolution site. I’ve revisted/re-read it several times but I’m just not getting any output. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks.

Can you be more specific about exactly what you’re trying to do and what’s happening when you try it?

I found the problem - the code in the tutorial for the call to the chunkListParser snippet is:

[!chunkListParser?chunks=`[*leftChunks*]` &wrapperdiv=`left`!]

But after checking the tag syntax for Revolution I noticed that calls to TVs should be in the format [[*myTvName]] and not [*myTvName*].

Hence my resulting code looked like this: [[chunkListParser?chunks=`[[*showcase]]`]].

It now works so I hope this is the correct syntax for Revolution!

THanks for your prompt response though

Thanks for reporting back.

You might want this instead, so the snippet will be uncached (added exclamation point only at the beginning):

Perfect - thanks for the tip.

Bob has a wonderful page (he should add to his signature maybe?)

@muzzbucket -- Thanks for the heads up. I’ve edited the Wiki include the Revo version of that tag.

@wshawn -- Thanks for the kind words. You might be surprised to find out how often *I* have to look at that page.

You and me both. I should "steal" it and put it in confluence
