outerTpl parameter for getResources? I want to wrap the results...

There isn’t an outerTpl parameter to wrap the output of the getResources Snippet... so how are people handling the instances where you either want a chunk of text with results, or nothing?

E.g. you want EITHER this:



OR this:

you can use the :notempty filter.

kind of clunky tho.

eg.

Doesn’t that call the getResources Snippet twice when you do something like that?

Or... I could put the getResources call inside of a chunk somehow... Maybe have a "myWrapper" Chunk contain something like this:



Then set the "before" and "after" html with the req’d HTML that I want to wrap the output with. But I still don’t see how to do it without using another Snippet, e.g. a "WrapMe" Snippet:



Why is this hurting my head so much? This would be an easy modification to the getResources Snippet, so I should file a feature request, but this same concept comes up repeatedly when front-end designers want to wrap Snippet output or they want nothing to appear... so maybe there’s a way to do it that’s not dependent on adding parameters to multiple Snippets...

THANK YOU SHAUN!!!

[[!getResources? 
   ...
   &toPlaceholder=`results`
 ]]
...
[[!+results:notempty=`<ol>[[+results]]</ol>`]]

So simple. So beautiful. Should be in the docs!
