Revo - displaying multiple items from listbox(multi-select)

I think this may be a bug: http://bugs.modx.com/issues/3365 but I’m struggling with finding a workaround.

I have a listbox(multi-select) TV - use_Property, with options -

I output them in a chunk that calls the placeholder

If more than one option is selected, it outputs like this:



I’ve tried to set Output to Delimiter (and a comma for the delimiter).
I’ve tried to use an output modifier

but I can’t get :replace to do anything at all....

Any other thoughts? I could, obviously, create more than one ’use_Property’ TV, but I want to search across this field. Should I use auto-tag instead, even though it gives the client more options?

That return value is normal for that kind of TV. Try setting the Output as "Delimiter" but don’t specify a delimiter. It should default to a comma.

You could also write a snippet or a custom output modifier to parse the TV. How, exactly, would you like it to look when displayed in the front end?

That doesn’t work, Bob. At least not on 2.0.7.

I want it to display in the front end


The output is almost what I want when I use autotag as the TV, albeit with no space after the comma


I can live with that, although it means that I would have to autopopulate a dropdown filter (or use tags) when I create some kind of interface to filter on those options to generate a list - I’m thinking either as a where clause, or use taglister to try and fudge it (although my understanding of tagLister is that it doesn’t do ’or’ joins - if it does joins at all).

I’m not sure about tagLister, but I think might get the output you want with this:

Hi there,

Old thread for a probably old question :

would it be possible to include in some next Revo release a function that would permit to choose its own "Wrapper" (or wrapper(s)) instead of a "Delimiter" ? Therefore low-skilled people like me would be able to use that TV without annoy the forum asking : how does one parse the values that are output ?
