You have to change pageNavVar, as suggested.

No effect... Problem is not resolved. Have others proposal?

Well, what is the problem? There are folks that have gotten multiple instances to work, so I’m not sure what problems you are having. Have you tried using the namespace?

My problem was described here

I want show 2 posts on one page:
1 last post from parents ’32’ and
1 last post from parents ’10’
by using getResoures+getPage with different tpl...

Can you show me example of a correct call two or more instance of getPage on one page for different parents?

p.s. resolved. so, solution is using &cache=`0` on every call of getPage.

Where is the pageNavVar mentioned in this thread??
What is an appropriate value for pageNavVar??
Thank you, Tom

I’m not sure why you would ever use getPage unless you need to present more than 10 or 20 resources on more than one page. If you are just showing one post from each getResources call, why do you need paging at all?

Whatever you want the placeholder to be for the paging navigation created for a specific instance of getPage (when you have multiple running per page).

Hi, I have the same problem:

2 instances in the same page:


the second one still takes documents from parents=`4`...
may be there is some problem with cache? [ed. note: tillilab last edited this post 15 years ago.]

update...
it seems that the second call just ignores the parameter "resources",
If I change the second call with:



it correctly gets documents from parent 234... [ed. note: tillilab last edited this post 15 years ago.]

It's not ignoring the resources parameter, but it is assuming parents to be the current Resource on which getResources is executing, as well. If you ONLY want the resources, set parents to -1 in the second call.

Thanks! It works perfectly!

Thank you very much, you put me off a big headache

I had a similar issue with running getresources to get a single pages information. Using this:
[[!getResources? &resources=`[[*rightCTA]]` &tpl=`tpl.content` &limit=`1` &depth=`0` &includeContent=`1` &first=`0` &sortdir=`ASC` ]]

solved the problem.

The issue was that getResources was returning all of the child resources of the page that I was currently on. The above line makes sure that the page I'm on is at the top of the result set and that no more that 1 result set is returned. A little bit of a hack, but it works.
