• Initial release

This simple Snippet allows you to get a single column value from any database object you have generated a class/map for in xPDO.

I can then use getValue to return the name field of a record in the MyClass table (assuming it’s package has been registered in MODX via another Snippet, Plugin, or by registering it in the extension_packages System Setting), e.g.



You can also use it with any core MODX classes, e.g. to get the class_key of a specific modResource you might do something like this:
