If I have some TVs assigned to a blank template, how do I display those TV values to resources where other template has been assigned?

In summary, I have done this. I have created a blank template and assigned some TVs to it so only the resource where the blank template has been assigned gets the TV. Now I want the values of those TVs to appear in other resources where some other template has been assigned. By using [*TVName*], I am not getting the value. Any help is appreciated.

In Revo you would do that with getResourceField, I don’t know if there’s an equivalent in Evo to getResourceField.

Thanks benmarte, but I use evo. I wonder if they have something equivalent.

#kunane on twitter suggested you try this plugin seems to be the Evo equivalent of getResourceField

Here is a quick demo snippet that will get a number of TV values from a given document id.
You can then manipulate the value before returning it for display without using PHX.
In this example : format a number, create a link url and return an image with width & height.
Hopefully you can make it do what you need

<?php
$output = '';
$page_id = isset($page_id)?$page_id: 87;
$myArray = $modx->getTemplateVarOutput(array('firstTv','secondTv','thirdTv'), $page_id);

 if(!empty($myArray['firstTv']) && is_numeric($myArray['firstTv'])){
 $formatted_number = number_format($myArray['firstTv']);
 $output .='<b>$'.$formatted_number.'</b>';
 }
 
 if(!empty($myArray['secondTv']) && is_numeric($myArray['secondTv'])){
 $link_url = $modx->makeUrl($myArray['secondTv'], '', '', 'full');
 $output .='<a href="'.$link_url.'" title="Related link">Related link</a>';
 }
 
 if(!empty($myArray['thirdTv']) && file_exists($myArray['thirdTv'])) {
 $info = getimagesize($myArray['thirdTv']);
 $width = $info['0'];
 $height = $info['1'];
 $output .='<img src="'.$myArray['thirdTv'].'" width="'.$width.'" height="'.$width.'" />';
 }
 
return $output;
?>
