1. You need to specify a &tpl property with the name of your Chunk you’re using.
2. &extenders is not a getResources property.

I have tried what you suggested. I input this tag;

[[!getresources? &idx=`2` &limit=`1` &includeContent=`1` &tpl=`articleIntro`]]

I then used the chunk with this code

<div class="article">
        <h2 class="news-title"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h2>        
        <p class="post-info">Posted on [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]]</p>
        
        <div class="news-entry">
            <p>[[+introtext]]</p>
        </div>
        
        <p class="postmeta"><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" class="readmore">Read more</a></p>
</div>

But nothing is output

1. &idx is not a value you want to use. You should be using &parents
2. Use [[!getResources, not [[!getresources (case-sensitivity matters).

Okay, i managed to get a chunk tpl to display content.

But my biggest question is this

1- How do i display a content item (resource) that is NOT in a container? If i want to show a specific item on the frontpage/homepaghow do i specify that this particular item is the one that should be displayed?

Thanks for the link but nothing in there explains how to show just one particular resource.

What is there in MODx that can be used to show one resource just like in Joomla where you cn specifiy a module to show a given article link or intro by its ID?

Or does such a simple feature not exist in MODx ?

I’m just about giving up on MODx if I can’t get simple things accomplished. How then will i be able to implement more complex displays?

You should look into the getResourceField snippet.

How can i get

getResourceField

to display the output pagetitle as a url to the page? Does this snippet support chunks as templates?
