getResources prints an array

Hi. I’ve pasted and adapted a getResources call from the revo docs.
The call I’ve copied is here:

http://rtfm.modx.com/display/revolution20/Creating+a+Blog+in+MODx+Revolution#CreatingaBloginMODxRevolution-Addinga%22LatestPosts%22widget

My call looks like this:

[[!getResources? 
  &parents=`20`
  &hideContainers=`1`
  &limit=`3`
  &sortby=`publishedon`
  &tpl=`latestPostsTpl`
]]

The template "latestPostsTpl" exists.

What could be going wrong?

What’s in your latestPostsTpl?

Is there anything for getResources to find (ie published resources that are not containers under resource 20)? I can’t remember what you have to do wrong that triggers this issue, but it will be easily fixable (when I remember what it was!).

From the getResource documentation

Calls without a &tpl property specify will just output an array listing of each resulting Resource and their fields.

The template contains this code, copied straight from the page in the docs:

<li>
  <a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a>
  [[+publishedon:notempty=`<br /> - [[+publishedon:strtotime:date=`%b %d, %Y`]]`]]
</li>

Yes, there are a couple of non-container documents under resource 20.

Cipa’s response rings a bell - check the case and spelling of your tpl chunk name - I think it’s the same behaviour if it can’t find the specified tpl.

And make sure there’s no extra spaces. There’s a 99.9% chance it’s a problem with the template chunk name.

if you’re reading this and if Ryan’s reply doesn’t fit to you, please be sure that you didn’t quick-create or quick-edit the needed template by pasting its code in the "Description" field. Yes that just happened to me. Now beat me if my post is useless kiss

Sorry for that ⇧ , I'm no dev but I wanna try
