Hi there,

Does anyone know how to set a Document (Resource) TemplateVariable-Value with a Snippet in Revolution RC-1?
I can read it with:

$modx->resource->getTVValue('tvtest1');

But is there something similar like e.g. setTVValue?

Thanks

Close.

It’s a method of the TV, though, not the resource.

I think this is how it’s supposed to work (I was having trouble with it today, so YMMV).

You have to get the TV first, then set it:

$tv = $modx->getObject('modTemplateVar', array('name=>'TvName'));
$id =12;  /* id of the resource whose TV you want to change */
$tv->setValue($id, 'newValue');
$tv->save();
