Hi i have the following call:

[[!getResources? &parents=`22`  &tpl=`FrontPageNews` ]]

With the following template:

[[*image]]

<h2>	<a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" title="[[+pagetitle]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a> </h2>
<p class="teaser">[[+introtext]] <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><span class="caption">Read more</span></a></p>

<hr/>

For some strange reason, not matter what i do, the image will not show up. Despite me uploading one on the relevant news page.

Is the above syntax correct?

Try [[+image]]

Actually, there, [[+tv.image]].

The tv is there as is the image, the exact same call works on another page, just not my homepage or any other page that is not under the ’news’ container.

The text will show fine, but the images will not.

Because you need to use [[+tv.image]], not [[*image]].

[[+tv.image]] fails on all pages. [[*image]] works on those pages within id22 which is my news container.

i thought that [*tv*] was replaced by [[*tv]]? not [[+tv.name of template variable]]

Try this

<img alt="" src="[[+tv.image]]" />

instead of [[*image]]

That’s because you didn’t include &includeTVs=`1` in your getResources call.

It is in the default processing parser. But we’re talking about getResources, an Extra. getResources (like Ditto and Wayfinder and nearly any addon for MODx) has its own placeholder syntax for TVs. getResources says to use [[+tv.name]].

Ok so i now have a call of:

[[!getResources? &parents=`22`  &tpl=`FrontPageNews` &includeTVs=`1` ]]

and a chunk of

[[+tv.image]]
<h2>	<a href="[[~[[+id]]]]" title="[[+pagetitle]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a> </h2>
<p class="teaser">[[+introtext]] <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]"><span class="caption">Read more</span></a></p>


<hr/>

This setup for me isn’t showing any images on any page instead its just giving me the url of the image

assets/images/news/dscf1068.jpg

But at least it is now doing that on the front page, whereas previously it wasn’t even recognising that my news item had an image.

Okay, great. Now like cipa said, the TV’s only going to return the URL. You need to use this:

<img alt="" src="[[+tv.image]]" />
