Support/Comments for getField

The second one, I’m trying to get exactly the same information but it will be displayed on the home page at root level. I thought this would be fairly simple but not having much luck!

Note sure if this will work but how about having a TV that contains the getField and then in the ditto call reference that TV. So [+myTV+]

Not sure about that but I had to go with a different approach in the end. Thanks anyway

Is it possible to return all TV-values for a parent ID?

I am using TvTagCloud, and my client want’s to list all tags entered in the TV on all sites.

Thanks in advance!

If you mean to retrieve all the TV values for all the resources under the given parent, you could use Ditto with a simple tpl to just return the tv. Ditto doesn’t have to return content and links, it will return whatever you specify in its tpl.

would simply create a list of the tv values for the resources.

With TvTagCloud, you’d use a snippet call like this:

[!TvTagCloud? &parent=`15` &landing=`123` &tvTags=`documentTags` &showCount=`1` &displayType=`cloud`!]

The parameters are described in the snippet itself, and also here: http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=473

Or is this not what you’re looking for?

Out of interest what approach did you use if you don’t mind sharing, it may help others.

Hi!
I’m stuck with using GetField with MaxiGallery. The call for MG is

This sorting galleries by parent ID first. But I need them to be sorted by parent menuindex. So I tried by



Result is wrong. How should I use the snippet to get it right?

Is there a way to access TVs that are within protected pages without having a user belonging to the webgroup that’s the same as the protected pages log in? For example, I’m trying to retrieve a thumbnail TV which is set in the protected page for the home page.

Please pardon me if I’m wrong, but I have met a bug while using a custom snippet, that mentions getField is needed, wich I suspect may be caused by getField.
When I try to get a text containing special html-chars from a placeholder, both a as clean chars (utf-8) or as html special chars, the text is being cut at the special char, and the remainder disappears.
I discovered this when a text containg a special character was amputated at the point where the character appeared, but it also happens on taged common chars such as copy; < etc.

Is it getField that causes this?
