@EVAL and TV

Hello everyone.
I have some troubles with "possible TV values".
I have a drop-down box in wich I want to have [[+pagetitle]]==[[+id]]||(in chunk i have this code)
I’m trying to run getResources.
My code in TV :

@EVAL 
$params['parents']='6';
$params['depth']='0';
$params['tpl']='roomstournirs';
$params['limit']='500';
$output= $modx->runSnippet("getResources", $params);
return $output;

If just run in chunk

[[!getResources ? &parents=`6` &depth=`0` &tpl=`roomstournirs`]]

I will get something like this :

test5==22|| test==18|| test2==19|| test3==20|| test4==21||

Params are transferring and $output is working, i have tested it with :

@EVAL 
$params['asd']='asd';
$params['qwe']='qwe';
$output= $modx->runSnippet("test", $params);
return $output;

in test i have this code, and it works :

return $qwe."||test||".$asd;

So, can anybody tell me why getResources in @EVAL isn’t working and how to solve this problem.

Solved this with

$temp= $modx->db->query("Select * From `modx_site_content` WHERE template=11");
while($row = $modx->db->getRow($temp))
      {
          $res .= $row['pagetitle']."==".$row['id']."||";
      }
return $res;

and

@EVAL
$output= $modx->runSnippet("test");
return $output;

But i think there must be a way to do this with getResources.

I Think it should be (yeah it’s the same but in one line):

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet('getResources',array('parents' =>'6', 'depth' =>'0', 'tpl' =>'roomstournirs', 'limit' => '500'));

you can also use directly the @SELECT binding instead of running a query by a snippet,
without the limit of 500 you’ve used you even could do the shortcut of using a resource-list type.

BTW, if you’re using getResources, you can set the last tpl to be without the ’||’ delimiter.

@EVAL return $modx->runSnippet(’getResources’,array(’parents’ =>’6’, ’depth’ =>’0’, ’tpl’ =>’roomstournirs’, ’limit’ => ’500’));

This doesn’t work.
I have tryed to do this in many ways, and I think that getResources don’t work for TV’s value. Any ideas why?

It is better to call a snippet because even that small piece of code isn’t looking good in a single-line and without any highlights of code.

BTW, if you’re using getResources, you can set the last tpl to be without the ’||’ delimiter.

Thanks for hint but I already knew that.

Sorry, I’ve replied to this topic when i was tired & just before going to sleep.

I had @EVAL working with getResources once...
i think maybe you should try to specify the context of your resources e.g. ’web’, hope it should do.
calling getResources in your custom snippet isn’t a bad idea at all, it’s more neat, i just mentioned a shortcut(:
