Iterating through a resources children?

Ooo... I know there’s a way to do this. If I’ve retrieved a MODx doc, how can I get its children? This is related to my other post on the "duplicate()" method. I want to iterate through the children to publish them, set TVs, set permissions etc...

Everett, sometimes I wonder if you’ve read the xPDO docs.

I’ve read the last chapter, but I won’t spoil the ending. haha. Thanks for the tip.

I found this:
http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/modX.getChildIds

Yeah, I struggle to find what I need sometimes -- the search features on the API/rtfm site are pretty wonky, even when I’m not brain dead and running on coffee and 2 hrs of sleep.

core/model/schema/modx.mysql.schema.xml

That file’s your friend. It has all the aliases for each class. You can use them all on getOne, getMany, and the join methods.

I keep that file open as a reference. I’m making good progress doing stuff in xPDO... it just takes me a while. The API docs don’t have much in the way of examples, so it’s sometimes difficult to figure out how to actually use the methods. Don’t worry... if you explain stuff to me, I usually update the rtfm pages with examples and what not. How’s that for incentive

I used to use this as a quick reference (near the bottom): http://bobsguides.com/revolution-objects.html.

Now I just check the API section in the Appendix of my book (or search the MODx code, which I usually have up in PhpStorm).

Warning: thread jack ahead.....

Speaking of ’the book’, Bob-- when’s it due out? Need anyone to proof the code samples?

The book is pretty much finished, but I’m waiting patiently for my publisher to get in gear. There’s no publication date, but I’m confident that it will available at some point in the future.

Quite off topic in this thread but are you publishing an e-book version of it as well?

If you do - and it’s in epub - I’ll buy it immediately
