Only show specific resources

Hey

Say i have a folder with 10 resources.
I want to make a TV with the options: "new" / "old".

On a page i want ditto to display all the resources which are labeled "new" only.

Is this possible? Any suggestion how i can make ditto do this?

Thanks!

Try &filter parameter.

Thanks, this seems like something that might work.

If anyone have time to write me a quick guide on how to achieve my purpose with filter option, i would be glad=)

Nice, this works beautifully. Thanks!!

Now i just have to make it work with YAMS somehow

I’d like to populate 2 specific documents to the e.g. the front page - this is what I came up with:


if works if I put only one filter - adding the 2nd one returns No documents found! - could anybody please tell me what I’m missing?

Thanks

why not

because this is just toooooo simple - just kidding - I really feel kind of stupid right now - thanks for replying anyway - please allow me another question - Is there a way to e.g. have those two ids in a chunk for instance so my client could just edit those ids there or what would be the best way to do this - I don’t want him to mess around with the ditto call itself.

you can also have a TV with commaseperated list

[!Ditto? &documents=`[*documentsTV*]`!]

this can be a checkbox-tv with delimeted output

optionvalues for this TV: 155||156||157||158

or perhaps better @SELECT pagetitle, id FROM modx_site_content WHERE parent=’XX’

I thought of using a TV but I’m still not sure how I could implement it so it would be a little user friendly - the problem with TVs is that you can only attach them to a specific template - so I would need to create a new template just for that - it would be nice if I could have shown those TVs only on a specific page without having to create a new template.
