getResources Pointing to template variable of a selected resource Id

Apologies if this is a newb question but I’m having issues with the getResources snippet. Any help would be highly appreciated and I promise to help others if I ever stop being a newb!

All I want to do is get the TV of a specified resource to display. However no matter what I do it will display the TV according to which ever page I’m on. Is there a way to ovveride this so it points to a specified resource ID. After experimenting with the parameters I can get the array to return the page I want however when I include the TpL it seems to revert back to getting the TV of the current page.



[[!getResources?

&parents=`0`
&showHidden=`1`
&hideContainers=`0`
&depth=`0`

]]

Solved it...Was using [[*templateVar]] instead of [[+templateVar]]

How did you end up doing this? I’m having the same problem.. i want to reference the tv settings of a resource from another resource.

This ofcourse wont work but kinda the idea..

[[*templateVar? &id=`11`]]

If you’re using an extra like getResources to display them, using [[+templateVar]] will do it. If you’re not, I think you can do it with the getResourceField extra.

Awesome!! did it like this



Modx Rocks!!!!!
