getTemplateVar/s/Output call for help

    Can anyone confirm if the API code for any of the getTemplateVar/s/Output actually works... I've been beating my head against this all day with the following type of scenario:

    Doc id 102 has a TV assigned to it via its template called "propertyLocation".

    propertyLocation of doc 102 = "Dallas, TX"

    The following code per the instructions in the documentation does not return anything as expected:
    $pid = 102;

$result = $modx-> getTemplateVars('*');
for ($i=0;$i<count($result);$i++) {
	$o.= $result[$i]['name']. ' = ' . $result[$i]['value'].'<br />';
}


$result2 = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array('propertyLocation'));

return 'result: '.$o.'<br />'.$result2['propertyLocation'];


    It should return a key=>value pair plus the value in the propertyLocation TV, but it only returns emptiness:
    | result: =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =
    =

      update, adding the following to the code:
      $result3 = $modx->getDocument($pid);

return 'result: '.$o.'<br />'.$result2['propertyLocation'].'<br />'.$result3['pagetitle'];


      results in the addition of the following last line as expected, so I think it's a problem with the getTemplateVars API code:
      | result: =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =
      =

            I’m using something like this in a snippet and it works (0.9.6.1):

            	$tv = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput('pfClientName', $pid);
	$o = $tv['pfClientName'];
	return $o;

              SamZ: it was an old outdated link; I corrected the original link in the post.
