Hi all,

Is this possible? Here is the theory...

I have a number of Chunks which are Templates of HTML that I want to render onto a page, the thing is, for each page I want to be able to set which Chunk template should be used based on the value of a TV I set...

Therefore If I set the TV to be 1 - then I want getResources to display the ChunkTpl1, if I set the TV to be 2 - then I want getResources to display the ChunkTpl2...

How would one achieve this? I have tried numerous things but cant seem to get my head around using IF’s in getReources...

Thanks!

It seems this is possible as just created a solution that worked! Sample code below for those interested...

[[!getResources? &resources=`[[*id]]` &limit=`1` &includeContent=`1` &includeTVs=`1` &processTVs=`1` &tvPrefix=`` 
&tvFilters=`showTpl==1` &tpl=`Tpl1`
&tvFilters=`showTpl==2` &tpl=`Tpl2`
&tvFilters=`showTpl==3` &tpl=`Tpl3`
]]

Sorry.... to hasty! that solution above does not work... just renders the last template call regardless of setting of the TV...

Solved it! Dont use getResources - use ifEval! Sample below:

[[!ifEval? &input=`[[*portfolioItemGalleryImagesNumberOf]]=="1"`
&contentTrue=`
<p>Tpl1</p>
` 
&contentFalse=` `]]

[[!ifEval? &input=`[[*portfolioItemGalleryImagesNumberOf]]=="2"`
&contentTrue=`
<p>Tpl2</p>
` 
&contentFalse=` `]]

[[!ifEval? &input=`[[*portfolioItemGalleryImagesNumberOf]]=="3"`
&contentTrue=`
<p>Tpl3</p>
` 
&contentFalse=` `]]
