I have a set of TVs named like this:

image1 … image20

and

caption1 … caption 20

What I need is a snippet, that runs trough all the TVs and shows for every TV that is not empty an image element:

<img src="path to image1" title="caption1" alt="" />

If someone could help me this would be very nice.

Thanks-

<?php
$output = '';
$myArray = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array('firstImage','secondImage','thirdImage'), $modx->documentIdentifier);
 if(!empty($myArray['firstImage'])){
 $output .='<img src="'.$myArray['firstImage'].'" width="380" height="300" />';
 }
 if(!empty($myArray['secondImage'])){
 $output .='<img src="'.$myArray['secondImage'].'" width="380" height="300" />';
 }
 if(!empty($myArray['thirdImage'])){
 $output .='<img src="'.$myArray['thirdImage'].'" width="380" height="300" />';
 }
 return $output;
?>

I really ought to clean this up to auto loop through each TV wink

Thank you, bunk58, and excuse me for being late with my answer - GoogleMail marked MODx motify mail as spam sad

In the meantime I found a solution. You just hove to name the TVs according zo this scheme: image1, image2 and so on. In the example the last image TV has the number 20.

<?php
for ($x = 1; $x < 21; $x++) {
   $foto = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array('NAME OF THE IMAGE TVs'.$x));
   if (!empty($foto['NAME OF THE IMAGE TVs'.$x]) && file_exists(MODX_BASE_PATH.$foto['NAME OF THE IMAGE TVs'.$x])) {
       echo '<img src="[*bild'.$x.'*]" title="[*NAME OF THE IMAGE TVs'.$x.'*]" width="CHANGE THIS" height="CHANGE THAT" />';
   }
}
?>
