Problem with getPage, can't see the output

Modx : 2.07 (french)
getpage : 1.0.0
getresources : 1.2.2

I only want to navigate between the resources of folder (container), therefore I only want to see the [[!+page.nav]] output.

My snippet call - this call is base on the example of getReources (Dashboard)
[[!getPage? &element=`getResources` &parents=`26` &tpl=`myRowTpl`]]
<div class="paging">
<ul class="pageList">
[[!+page.nav]]
</ul>

First, when I use the snippet call without the &tpl argument, the page display the Array of each resources, therefore I assume that I have to use the &Tpl argument.

My question, is it possible to use getpage without the &Tpl argument? Because I only need to see the [[!+page.nav]] ouput.

Second, the [[!+page.nav]] display nothing. When I open the source code of the rendering page I get this

<div class="paging">
<ul class="pageList">

</ul>
</div>

Did someone has encountered this problem and how can it be resolved?

Thank you for your help.

Me too, could an awesome person please take a minute to explain how to do this? It seems overly complicated for something that should be very straightforward...

I can’t reproduce this problem—how many Resources are you getting returned; the default limit is 5; if there are not more than 5 Resources it would not create the paging controls... huh

Thanks OpenGeek

I’ve got it working now on a live environment, looks like it may have been a localhost issue. One final question - can I specify a template to over-ride the way the page numbers are outputted, e.g. <div class="paging"><ul class="pageList">[[!+page.nav? &tpl="XYZ"]]</ul></div> ?

For the other posters - I’ve put my code below, and you can see the working example here - http://ironhouse.walkerdesigns.com.au/news/ - please let me know if you have any questions. You may have the same problem as me with localhost so try this on a live environment.

Packages which are installed for this to work

GetResources - http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getResources
GetPage - http://rtfm.modx.com/display/ADDON/getPage

News Page (Template)

[[!getPage?
&elementClass=`modSnippet`
&element=`getResources`
&parents=`9`
&depth=`3`
&limit=`4`
&pageVarKey=`page`
&includeTVs=`1`
&includeContent=`1`
&showHidden=`1`
&sortby=`menuindex`
&sortdir=`ASC`
&tpl=`latest-news_template`
]]
<div class="paging">
    <ul class="pageList">[[!+page.nav]]</ul>
</div>

latest-news_template (chunk)

<div class="news-item">        
    <h2><a href="[[~[[+id]]]]">[[+pagetitle]]</a></h2>
    <p>[[+content:notags:limit=`120`]]...</p>
</div>

CSS I’ve used to hide the bits in page.nav I don’t want

.news-item {
	position: relative;
	float: left;
	width: 230px;
	margin-right: 50px;
	font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
	font-size: 14px;
	line-height: 19px;
	margin-bottom: 30px;
}
	.news-item>h2 {
		font-size: 120%;
		font-weight: bold;
		line-height: 22px;
		margin-bottom: 0px;		
	}
	ul.pageList {
		clear: both;
		width: 200px;
		float: right;
		margin-right: -95px;
		margin-top: 10px;
	}
		ul.pageList li {	
			float: left;
			font-size: 13px;
			font-weight: bold;
			padding-right: 10px;
			margin-right: 10px;
			border-right: 1px solid #999;
		}
		
		ul.pageList li.control {
			display: none;
		}

You can override those in a Property Set value directly (NOTE it will not work in the tag string itself)—I always use Property Sets anyway and I encourage everyone to do the same. FWIW, there is a request to allow those to be overridden via Chunks and this will be implemented in a future release of getPage.
