After upgrading revo from ~2.0.0 to 2.1.3-pl it seems like there have been some changes in caching-properties of modx leading to not work anymore our snippet to count page-impressions of our website and save the values to a TV of each resource:

// get the TV called "counter" of the current document:
$tvcounter = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar',array('name'=>'counter'));

// Add 1 and call it newValue:
$newValue = $modx->resource->getTVValue('counter') + 1;

// Save the TV
$tvcounter->setValue($modx->resource->get('id'), $newValue);
$tvzaehler->save();

The snippet used to work very well but now it only works once (as long as the resource is still not in the cache (by calling the document for the first time)).

Does anybody have an idea what we could try to make the snippet work again?

Are you calling the snippet uncached?

[[!Snippet]]

Yes, that was my first idea, too. It is called uncached. And to be absolutely sure I start quickemail before and after the the procedure which results in two emails every time the snippet is called but unfortunately without any changing/counting of the TV.

Is it maybe possible that this is a caching-problem? Maybe that the TV is locked after modified once or the resource is loaded for the first time after clearing the cache?

Hey guys,

Just a post to let you know there is a setTVValue method since some times now
see the MODX API

Hi,

I'm currently having the same problem! The TV is only written 1 times! I call the snippet unchached.
Is there a solution in the meantime?

You might try:

$modx->resource->setTVValue('counter', $newValue);

No need to get or save the TV object.

[Update] Never mind -- setTVValue() just does exactly what your existing code does.

Hi @lettis,

could you fix the problem in the meantime?
I'm still hanging with the fact that the TV is only written once until cache is cleared.

Be sure to make that tag that displays the TV uncached.

[[!*tvcounter]]

And $tvzaehler in the code above should be $tvcounter.
