[SOLVED] Iterating resources

  • mattyrobins Reply #1, 13 years, 7 months ago
    Hi,

    I wonder if someone can help.

    I have 14 news items to display on my home page. Each items is displayed in descending order by date of publication.

    The first 4 items are displayed using the following:

    <div class="main" id="main-three-columns">

            <div class="left" id="main-left">

                [[!getResources? 
                  &parents=`3` 
                  &limit=`4` 
                  &tplFirst=`articleheadline` 
                  &tpl_2=`articlesnextheadlines1` 
                  &tpl_3=`articlesnextheadlines2` 
                  &tpl_4=`articlesnextheadlines3` 
                  &includeContent=`1` 
                  &sortby=`createdon` 
                  &showHidden=`1` 
                  &sortDir=`DECS` 
                  &includeTVs=`1` 
                  &tvPrefix=``]] 

                <div class="clearer"> </div>
                
            </div>


    The last 10 items need to be displayed elsewhere on the homepage. I know I need to use getresources, but the following code simply starts over again with the most recent resource in my parent document:

    <div class="left sidebar" id="sidebar-1">

            [[!getResources? 
            &parents=`3` 
            &limit=`10` 
            &tpl=`sidebar1_articles` 
            &includeContent=`1` 
            &sortby=`createdon` 
            &showHidden=`1` 
            &sortDir=`DECS` 
            &includeTVs=`1` 
            &tvPrefix=``]] 

            </div>


    Any suggestions?

      I haven’t used getResources on Revo, but looking for the equivalent of Ditto’s &start parameter on Evo,
      offset An offset of resources returned by the criteria to skip
      which would make it &offset=`4`, looks a good bet to me. http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getResources#getResources-SelectionProperties
