getResource - 2 little problems

Hi at all,

i’m just in developing a new modx page and sticking auf 2 little problems.

1. i’m using getResource to display contntent from 3 different resources - at the moment i can only use one chunk for alle of the resources. it is possible to give every resource its own chunk.

• resource id 2 --> chunk 1
• resource id 5 --> chunk 2
• resource id 9 --> chunk 3

2. i want to create a calendar, wich displays the events in a row sorted by the date (tv). All old dates should be automaticly sorted out. So i use the where condition. But it seems not to work with the date tv.

I hope you can give me some advice to do this things in an elegant way

Thanks so much

To use TV with getResources you need (this will get all children of document with ID5):


and
Dont forget the myRowTpl chunk template...

Call the TV in the template with:

Hi, thanks for your answer,

i think here is a misunderstanding

My first problem:
i have this call:

[[!getResources? &parents=`1,8` &showHidden=`true` &tpl=`030_CHK_MVB_ARTICLE_LST` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` ]]

Resource 1 is for general news article on the main page -> the template for this is 030_CHK_MVB_ARTICLE_LST
Resource 2 is for publishing new events from an other resource -> for this i need a different chunk because it has different content to the previous.


The 2nd problem:

this call:

[[!getResources? &parents=`8` &showHidden=`true` &tpl=`060_CHK_CALENDAR` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` & sortbyTV =`010_KAL_DATE` &sortdirTV=`asc` &where=`010_KAL_DATE>=time()` ]]

Here i want to show only all resources where the tv 010_KAL_DATE is bigger than the actual time.


I hope it’s now a bit clearer what i mean

Thanks so much

The only way I know of to associate a particular Tpl chunk with a record is to use &tpl_1, &tpl_2 (it might be &tpl_{1}, &tpl_{2} -- I haven’t used it). You’d have to know ahead of time where those records would fall. If that doesn’t work for you, you’d have to write your own snippet to get and process the records (which would be faster anyway).

Try taking out &processTVs. Processing the date TVs will give a date string, which may not sort properly and won’t compare properly to time(). You may need to use an output modifier if you want to also display the dates.

Thanks for your help.

Got the 2nd thing solved by creating a new output filter, which returns the unixtime instead of the date string.
