Support/Comments for getField

I got the folloing error using a cobination of getField and SectionRoots this way:

[!GetField? &docid=[[SectionRoots?Sec_roots=7,41,46,70,80,85]]!]

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettv() in /home/httpd/vhosts/1-vision.nl/subdomains/kingskids/httpdocs/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(729) : eval()’d code on line 292


I use sectionroots also in dropmenu and wayfinder without any problems.

Which version of GetField do you use?

I haven’t used SectionRoots, however, it looks like you are trying to get a pagetitle of a parent document. The root document for a section, actually.

You can do it easily with GetField alone. You just have to make a call like that:



This will return a pagetitle of the ultimate parent of the current document. The ultimate parent is the topmost document in the document tree, which is current document’s ancestor. In other words, the document in the root of the document tree, which is in the same branch as the current document.

If your sections sit under a specific folder then you should provide &topid parameter with id of that folder.

ok what i want is that it only shows the title of parent of the document when there is a submenu so if there is no submenu then no title thats why I use sectionroots to set the id that the parent has but the parent is also a child from level 1 and then I do not want to show the pagetitle. level1 is on top of the page level 2 is on the left en level 3 is on the right
so only when levl 2 hase children and you are on e level3 page i want the title of the parent (level20 to be displayed above level3.

if there is no level3 I do not want the title to be there

Generally I prefer to use the less snippets possible. That’s great in MODx, its flexibility. I would do this in other way.

I would make a radio type TV, with default value set to empty and @INHERIT binding and bind it to a chunk including a call:



Then for level 3 documents I would set it to that chunk (or use document groups for that). This way I would get the level 2 parent document pagetitle for all documents from levels 3-5 (&parentLevel).

As to the error you reported, make sure you use the latest release of GetField (currently 1.2.2) or, please, test the beta.

Hi, I am using 1.2.2. I am trying to get the value from a TV, but I get error displayed:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: gettv() in /home/****/public_html/cms/manager/includes/document.parser.class.inc.php(748) : eval()’d code on line 147

I am using: [!GetField? &docid=`[+id+]` &field=`ContentImage`!]

Not sure if the syntax is wrong, ContentImage is my TV.

You should use [!GetField? &docid=`[*id*]` &field=`ContentImage`!] instead

I had tried that before, it still does not work. I get the same error message.

Even if I hardcore the page ID and only request the TV in the call, I still get the error. If I pull any document object, it works fine, it only fails when trying to get the TV.

GetField works fine for me with this kind of call and with TVs... there must be an explanation...Do you have the latest GetField ? Which MODx version are you running ?

That’s weird then, I am running:

MODx version 0.9.5
Version codename rev 2106

And GetField version is: Version: 1.2.2

Here is the code where I am making the reference to GetField (its a chunk):
